Hello girls!

We hope you had a nice break for Easter, ate some chocolate eggs and relaxed! 

We have set work to be done across 2 weeks, try your best with it, if you don’t get everything finished it will be OK.
Ms Greene has posted it under the Enforced Closure section of the website, scroll down to 4th class to find it.
Click here for Enforced Closure section:  http://www.olvgns.ie/enforced-closure.html

Please leave a comment below if you've any questions about the work, if you want to tell us some news or even just to say hi! We love reading your messages!

Please remember to use this comment section appropriately- it is a public forum, so everyone will be able to see your comments and questions. If you need to contact your teacher privately, email Ms Greene on [email protected] and she can pass on your message.

If you want some extra links/websites to help you with work, or cool websites for different subject areas to check out; click on the Online Resources section and links are available there!
Click here for Online Resources section: http://www.olvgns.ie/online-resources.html

This is a tough time for everyone, children and adults, try and look after your own mental health, be kind to yourself. You can try some mindfulness, recall your Weaving Well-being strategies to practice your resilience and also deep breathing to help you if you're worried, anxious or scared. Ms. Greene has opened a Well-Being section to the website, go check it out and put some ideas into practice. 
Click here for Well-Being section: http://www.olvgns.ie/well-being.html

Continue to help out with jobs and chores around the house to help your parent(s)/guardians, just like you would in school. We can't wait to hear how you've gotten good at making the bed or cooking a meal or fixing a gadget or doing the vacuuming or baking treats. The adult(s) at home, we're sure, are impressed by how helpful and responsible you are being!

Keep active everyday, exercise helps your mind when you're feeling stressed or worried. Set some personal records, then try and beat them the next day. Try and get some fresh air everyday, hopefully the nice weather sticks around for a while!
​
We miss you all so much, it's hard but we are doing the right thing by sticking to the rules about social distancing. It'll be worth it when we're all back together safely and well, knowing we did the right thing to keep everyone safe. Hopefully if we all keep it up we'll be back together soon!

Stay safe, 

 Ms Smith and Ms Behan

I don’t get the reasons to write

Ms Behan
20/4/2020 13:17:25

Hi Hayden!
For the Reasons to Write go to the Narrative part of the book. Look at the contents page at the front if you're ensure which page to go to. Read the first story and answer the questions. Do your very best with it!
Thanks for the message!
Ms Behan

What do you do on dabledoo

Ms Behan
20/4/2020 13:20:03

Hello again Hayden!
For Dabbledoo, go to the Arts part of the Online Resources (http://www.olvgns.ie/arts-education-resources.html). Follow the link to sign up for at home Dabbledoo! You might need a parent to help you sign up. You can then do some of the activities.
Hope that helps!
Ms Behan

Ms Smith, do we have any Read at Home.

Ms Smith
20/4/2020 13:26:20

Hello Áine,
Thanks for your message! No, we have not given you work from Read at Home. We felt there was lots to read in your Reasons to Write and Better English and we didn’t want to overload you with English work!
Keep up the good work!
Ms Smith

Áine

Hi Ms.Smith the weaving well being link wouldn’t work for me is it alright if I don’t do it ?🤞

Ms Smith
21/4/2020 12:50:08

That’s ok, Erin.
Try again tomorrow and see does it work for you then.
If not it’s ok, check out the Well-Being section on our website and see if there’s anything there you can do instead, you could even just practice a bit of deep breathing with nice, relaxing music in the background for a little while each day.
It’s really about easing your nerves and stress with all the madness going on, so please don’t get too worried if you can’t access it!
Thanks for your message!
Ms Smith 😊

Ms Smith
21/4/2020 12:52:19

Hello again! Good thinking, if it’s not working absolutely have a go with the songs and sing your heart out! Try again tomorrow and see does it work then but I’m happy if you give the songs a go! 🎤🎶

Ms.Smith in eip q 8 it says the shortened word that's is made from the word that and _ or _ for the first one I got is but I can't get the second one

Ms Smith
22/4/2020 10:58:04

Hi Erin, it's not letting me reply under your question, so here will have to do!
Thank you for writing out the question so I can help you!
"That is" is correct, well done!
I'll write some sentences using the other word, see can you crack it!
*That's got my name on it!
*That's been my favourite book so far!
*There is a plant in the garden that's grown a flower.
