Hi Class,
Welcome Back! It’s Monday again! I hope you and your family have had a good Easter and that you didn’t eat too much chocolate! How are your peas and watercress? Have they grown much? Have you tried the watercress yet?
We are well into Spring now and the weather has been beautiful and I hope you have had a chance to get outside safely for your daily exercise and to play. It’s been busy in my house trying to keep my three girls busy. I hope you are looking after yourselves and your families.
I hope before Easter you had a chance to try out some of the activities I put on the website HERE
And you also had some Easter activities to try out over the Easter break HERE
If you didn’t its still not too late to try out some of the activities above. Below are a few new follow up activities to try out. Next week (starting Monday 20th April) I will be hoping to get back into some new work and hopefully have you share some of your work with me.
In the meantime….

Watch Home School Hub on RTE: Monday 20th April Home School Hub on RTE will feature a piece on the subject of the Irish words for the clothes we wear – which is perfect for us as we have been looking at Eadaí in Irish.
English- Recount:
Can you write me a Recount Story of how your Easter Break was – did the Easter Bunny come? Did you eat many eggs? Did you ride a bike or go for a walk?
Use these Recount posters to help you write your own Recount of your Easter Break:

Weaving:
Remember before Easter I asked you to watch a video on weaving in Fabric and Fibre HERE
Now I’d like you to try out making your own loom so you can try to weave at home:
