Everyone in the Birch class now has their very own email address. The details have been sent to your parents. I'd love to get an email from all the Birch class, telling me their news!
Lots of authors are reading their books online..check to see if there is any author you would like to listen to! Oliver Jeffers is a big hit in our house.
www.weareteachers.com/virtual-author-activities/ As a fellow parent, I can empathise with the struggle to keep everyone fed and happy at the moment! I saw this idea online and thought it could be a nice way to manage snacks and also tie in nicely with our money topic at the moment! Let me know if you try it at home!
Elaine Dear Parents,
I hope that you and your families are keeping safe and well. It is so important that everybody tries to complete some reading everyday so I have compiled a few resources that might help you achieve this. 1. Real books! Hopefully you have a stash at home that the boys might enjoy reading. 2. Ebooks and audio books: It's now possible to join the library online & use @BorrowBox straight away! Just go to librariesireland.ie/join, complete the registration, set a PIN and you'll be able to log in to Borrowbox with those details to download eBooks and audiobooks 3. www.oxfordowl.co.uk. This ebook library has over 250 books in it and offers free access to teachers and parents once you create an account. They also have some vocabulary and comprehension activities for most of the books. 3. https://www.getepic.com/students. This is also an online library. For struggling readers there is a Read to Me feature which might be helpful. I have set up a class code for you to login with : see image below. I hope some of these resources might be helpful to you. Feel free to send me on some pictures of you enjoying some stories together! Elaine Dear Parents,
Edco have made ebooks accessible for parents and students at home. Please see the login details below. Our current Maths topic is Money, so the chapter on this in the 2nd Class & 3rd Class Operation Maths Books might be helpful if you wish to complete work on this topic at home. Read or listen to a funny poem about Melvin the Mummy..www.poetry4kids.com/poems/melvin-the-mummy/
