Hello my lovely girls

Great to have seen some of you last week on Google Classroom. Hopefully more of you will join next Wednesday at 11.am. Could everyone try to be on time for next week thank you.

The password is warrenmount. We will be going over English spellings and their meanings. We will correct Mental Maths week 24. We will also look at Irish spellings too, so please have that work ready on Wednesday thank you.

Some of you have loaded videos up on google classroom. If you could all pick your favourite moment in 6^th class and describe why you enjoyed it. Start the sentence with, my name is….. and my favourite moment in sixth class was……. Because…. (describe how it made you feel and why ).

We will put them all together and make a video for the end of year.

Here is some work for the week ahead.

Spellings for the week

Please do 4 spellings a week to learn and put into sentences. Use online dictionaries to look up definitions and please write these definitions down. If parents could do a spelling test at the end of the week to help the girls stay on task that would be great.

Group reading Peppermint Pig by Nina Bawden-

Can you reread chapter 11 and 12 and do a synopsis of each chapter.

Your synopsis should be no more than 10 sentences, giving the important information in each chapter. Read over your work and see if the synopsis makes sense and contains the important information.
