Hope you are doing ok my mam is wondering on the Easter holidays will we have work like the 2weeks that we would of been off anyway 😄

Ms Behan
1/4/2020 09:35:39

Good morning Ava!
We will not give you work to do over the Easter holidays because that two weeks is a break from school and school work. You can take part in Ms Greene's challenges or do some arts and crafts if you'd like (and some reading, I hope!) but we want you to have a break for those two weeks.
Thanks for the question Ava!

Hi miss smith
Happy April fools me and my dad when out to do some football for my team we had to make a video of us doing tricks and I made some and the winner gets a prize and I was kicking the ball over the goal and I hit the cross bar 2 times in a row bye stay Healthy and stay safe and I was wondering what if u don’t get to do the art project? And my sister said that her teacher said that because me and Georgia has to do the same art project her teacher said we can just do 1 robot are we aloud to do that? Bye ~jodi-

Ms Smith
2/4/2020 08:41:18

Hi Jodi!
Great to hear you’re practising your GAA skills! Very impressed with your crossbar hits, your accuracy must be improving! Keep it up!
For the art project, if you can’t build one I would love to see your drawing of your robot. All coloured in and the all the parts labelled and what they do labelled.
However, you and Georgia working together is a great idea! Ms O’Dea and I would love to see what you come up with together.
Thanks for your message, Jodi, I hope you’re keeping safe and healthy too! 😁 Ms. Smith

Ms Behan
3/4/2020 09:08:10

Hi Ava!
Don't worry about it, just keep going as you're going! It'll just mean you have two days less to do in EIP for homework when we're back in school!

Hi ms.Smith in EIP day 107 question 14 doesn’t make scene it says
Circle the verb : This forest is very scary. I don’t see the verb in it
-Erin 🥴

Ms Smith
3/4/2020 09:05:04

Morning Erin, thanks for your question!

Thank you for writing it out so I can help you.
The verb in that sentence is a very sneaky verb, we often don’t think of it as a verb.
It is the present tense of the verb ‘to be.’ For example, yesterday WAS Thursday, tomorrow WILL BE Saturday, but today .... Friday. Can you spot it? 🕵️🤔
Well done keeping on top of your work, Erin. I’m impressed!
Ms Smith

Hi! Ms Behan I really am trying my best with the work and I have tried to be getting everything done but I am not really sure. I'm a bit worried if I maybe forgot a bit or if im not doing it right I also am trying to only spend 4 hrs on the work. and a lot of the pages on busy at maths and better English are very long and hard to do so usally just move on to another bit of my work if I am stuck I hope that i am doing everything right i wasn't in when you explained it to the class so am trying very very hard. i miss you and everyone in my class and i cant wait to come back to school bye!!!

Ms Behan
3/4/2020 10:01:07

Hi Emma!
You are doing great! We only want you to you spend 3 hours a day on your work. No one will be getting in trouble for not having work finished when we get back to school. I know you're doing your best and that makes me so happy! If something is too tricky, skip past it. Try not to go over 40 minutes with each subject. If you don't get it finished, don't worry about it! Again, no one will be getting in trouble when we're back in school!
I miss you all so much and I am really looking forward to seeing you all in Room 3 again soon!
