Oral language: Aesop’s Fables
Click on the link https://rainbow.cjfallon.ie/#/units/first/13 Click the interactive poster and listen to the story. Discuss the story. Examples of questions to ask after listening to the story.
In what country did Aesop live? Why did the North Wind and Sun have a competition? Why do you think the North Wind thought he was very strong? What lesson did the story teach the people? Do you think there would have been a TV camera filming Aesop telling the story? What lesson did Aesop teach the people by telling them the story? Topic Specific Language – Discuss these words with the children to help with understanding of the story. Play the vocabulary games

Reading
Over the next two weeks you will be reading ‘A Forest Adventure’ so no need to rush through it this week.
 
Remember to take your time, it is important to read the story a number of times to help your fluency.

Continue reading any books you have at home.

Creative writing – could you write a recount about a class trip you were on? Maybe it was your school tour last year or in Junior Infants. Can you remember where you went? Tell me about it. Remember to start at the beginning, giving as much detail as you can.
