SESE:
History:
Go onto CJ Fallon website in to primary school. Click on SESE and click on History Quest chapter 12. This chapter is important and because of everything that is going on in America right now it would be good for you to read it and see what Martin Luther King did for black civil rights. Read P104 – 110 and do questions 1-4 on p111. We will talk about this on Wednesday.
SPHE
Go onto CJ Fallon website into primary school. Click 6h class and on SPHE subject. The book is called Mindful Matters 6: The future is full of hope p16 and 17 is good way to look back at how you’ve developed and grown since starting primary school.
It also would be a good idea to keep meditating. There is a utube 5 minute video for coherent breathing which is really calming and easy to follow.
Here is the link www.otb.ie/ weaving wellbeing also and go to Mindfulness Meditations.
Stay safe and I’ll have more work for you all next week !
