Fourth Class Blog
The Blog
Last week Fourth and Third class went on Tour it was really fun. We did the Tree Top Adventure Walk It kind of scary but still fun and did orienteering. It was pretty hard but we managed.
And the great news is three of our chicks hatched! We are still looking for names. I hope we choose good names. I think we are will have good names.
There’s more good news. Fourth class is going to the Greenway next week and we are going on Tuesday the day we having our Irish dancing display. Well that’s it for the blog.
Thank you for reading!

Winter Wonderland
Three days in; I’m sure some of you are suffering from cabin fever! Don’t forget during times like these to be kind to each other and make the most of it.
How did the board games go? Maybe it’s time to root out a deck of cards now. Can you make up a card game to help you with your multiples?
When I woke up this morning it was like a winter wonderland outside. You are a bunch of wonderful artists in fourth class; why not sketch a picture inspired by the winter wonderland outside your window?
Can you measure the depth of the snow outside you house? Use both centimetres and inches. The snow outside my house is up to my knees in places. That’s about half a metre deep or about 20 inches! Research to find out how deep the snow is in other parts of the country and compare. Sketch a map of Ireland and mark in the average snowfall (snow depth) of each county.
After World Book Day yesterday, make sure to spend some time curled up by the fire with your favourite book.
Research the weather forecast for the weekend. Present a weather forecast for your family as Gaeilge. You could use the sketch you’ve already completed of each county’s snowfall!
Make sure to check the ‘Latest News’ tab for updates on the Peace Proms Concert.
Be safe ladies and I’ll see you all soon!
It’s Snowing!
Take a look at these snow day activities for Fourth Class.
1. Snowflakes! Can you create a snowflake using a sheet of paper and scissors? Fold the page in half and then in half again. Now, cut off some corners or create a pattern. Be creative! Unfold the page and you have a snowflake!
Question: Is it possible to fold a piece of paper in half more than seven times? Try it!
2. Time yourself. Start your timer. Read the next eight pages of your library book (aloud so that you don’t skip over any words!). Stop the timer. How did you do? Try once more. Have you beaten your score?
3. Projects. Use this extra time you get some project work done. (We’re in week two of four).
4. Multiples. Revise multiples of 8. Go back and revise multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (especially the ones you struggled with in your Friday tests).
5. Create your own board game! All you will need is a piece of paper (the bigger the better), a pencil, colours, a dice and some small objects to use as counters (for example rubbers and toppers).
First, draw out your ‘course’ or path. It may look like a snake moving around your page.
Break up the path into sections. Number the sections in order.
Mark START at the beginning of the course and END at the end.
Now it’s time to get creative. Maybe the sections will turn into stepping stones? Maybe you’ll add some rules to catch people out (for example, if you land on number five you must hop back two spaces)? Use your imagination!
Make it as clear and as colourful as you can. If you have board games at home use them to inspire you.
Invite your family to play!
If you haven’t got a dice, that’s no problem. Use a piece of paper to create a cube like we’ve done before. Before you fold and stick it, mark the faces with numbers one to six.
6. Peace Proms. Revise the lyrics, the moves, Focus One, Focus Two, Focus Three, ‘Giraffes’ stance, ‘Bears’ seat.
7. Get outside and enjoy the snow (safely)!
Pancake Tuesday
This week in forth class it was pancake Tuesday. On Wednesday we got to dance outside with the speakers. On Wednesday it was also Ash Wednesday and for that we got ashes. It was also Valentine’s day and we made cards for our families. On Tuesday we learned about Busy Bodies.
