Hi Class,

I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.I hope you are taking care of your Watercress and Pea plants too! Below is a set of activities for the next 2 weeks.

Your child will just need a copybook and a pencil and rubber/eraser for these activities.

Your Homework Bingo sheet  (see below- can be downloaded as a pdf) has 25 different activities. You can pick a couple of different activities each day and see if you can get all 25 completed in the next two weeks. The activities are designed to be completed without having to print off worksheets- just using your pencil, colours and copybook or by watching videos/ listening to stories online.

March Homework BINGO

Activities for children from my class who go to Ms Condron/ Ms Hanlon are available here

Please note: As always, for internet based activities please ensure your children are supervised while accessing the internet.

Thanks and take care,

Mr Smyth

The children in Mr Smyth’s 1st Class are growing watercress as part of the big grow.

Today we will plant Peas too and next week Baby Carrots.

Our watercress is only planted since last Thursday and already it is doing really well.

It was a Book-tastic day for World Book Day in Mr Smyth’s class today.

We had parents in reading stories to small groups, Ms Dunne did a fantastic story sack activity with the class and we went on a Book Trail around the school.

The children had a wonderful day!

Thanks to all the parents who joined us today to help celebrate World Book Day.

Mr Smyth’s First Class are taking part in the national Big Grow initiative. Today the children planted watercress.

Over the next week or so we will also plant Peas and Baby Carrots. The children are very excited about their vegetables and watching them grow

You will be able to check back here each week to see the progress of the children’s work.

This week Mr Smyth’s Class created some pinch pots in Art.

Check out the children having fun with clay. Look how we shape and decorate our pots.
