3rd and 4th Class Online Learning: Mrs. Creamer

Monday, 8th March

Good morning Boys,

Hopefully this is our last week of online learning! I'm sure, like me, you are looking forward to returning to school next week.
Today is International Women's Day and Mother's Day is next Sunday, the 14th of March - take a look at the S.E.S.E and Visual Art sections below!
To celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge (1-17th March) I've included some activities as Gaeilge!

Parents, please use your own discretion as to how much/which activities your son completes.

If you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance, please email me at stmarysbelturbet@gmail.com

Kind regards,
O. Creamer

3rd & 4th: Mental Maths week 21

3rd Class Maths
Monday 1st March. We are going to continue with our topic of weight for a few more days boys. Today I would like you to do the word problems on page 123. Read the sentences carefully and decide if it is addition or subtraction. Then write your sum out carefully using kg and g as your heading. Remember there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Keep your kg and g seperated. Then please do page 130 Q1.

Answers- Monday: Q4 2kg150g Q5 7kg 404g Q6 21kg 49g Q7 20kg 376g
pg.130 Q1 (a) 11kg 511g (b)8kg232g (c) 10kg 588g (d) 4kg 335g

Tuesday 2nd March. Please do the attached sheet today. The problems are based on smarties. Read the blue box on the top carefully and remember one smartie weighs around one gram so it is an easy number to work with. Write the answers in your copy. For the last part of the page, try to find these items in your kitchen and check the label to see what they weigh. If you can't find a certain item you can swap it for something else.

Wednesday 3rd March: Do the next page I have attached. Write the answers in your copy. Use your multiplication facts to help you with the first five questions. eg. (a) three buttons= 3x2=6. Questions 6 and 7 are addition questions which you can try to calculate quickly in your head. Q 8 is subtraction and in Q9 do the sum in the brackets first. You should not need to write out the sums as tens and units for this page.

Answers Tuesday: Q1 (a) 50 smarties in a tube (b) 100 (c)200 (d) 500 (e) 1000g or 1kg
Q2 (a)100g (b)120g (c) 190g (d) 500 smarties

Thursday 4th March: I have another page attached for you today boys. You have to find the weights of the five items and write them down. Then make a graph showing the different weights. Use a ruler to draw the lines. You can round the weights to the nearest 100 g to make it easier to represent them on the graph. For example, if the ketchup weighs 420 g you round it to 400 g. Or it weighs 560 g, that would round to 600.

Answers Wednesday: Q1 (a) 6g (b)12g (c) 16g Q2 (a) 8g (b) 20g (c) 28g Q3 (a) 12g (b) 24g (c) 30g Q4 42g Q5 42g Q6 (a) 500g (b) 300g (c) 400g (d)800g Q7 650g (b) 500g (c) 800g (d) 600g (e) 950g Q8 (a) 200g (b)250g (c) 150g (d) 250g (e)150g Q9 (a) 200g (b) 350g (c) 300g (d) 100g

Friday 5th March: Please try the page below on addition and subtraction of kg and g. I would like you to do Q 1 and Q 2. If you have spare time you can also do the other questions on the page. Have a lovely weekend boys.

ENGLISH
Let’s Go
Seek and Search

It was dusk, the sun had set.
Badger’s set was on a sloping piece of ground in a clearing of Farthing Wood.
The worrying development that happened in the wood that day was that the pond had been filled in.
There were a number of hedgehogs at the stream when badger and fox arrived.
Fox decided to call an Assembly.
Badger loved to talk about ‘The Old Days’.

Quest and Query (Your answers may be a little different to mine or worded differently and that’s O.K. they don’t have to be the exact same.)

It was summer time because the sun had been very hot during the day and the ground was hard because there hadn’t been any rain in nearly four weeks.
Badger knew that Fox was approaching because he picked up his scent.
Badger and Fox were the most powerful because they took charge of the situation and decided that something had to be done about what was happening to their surroundings.
The animals needed to discuss what they were going to do about their habitat being destroyed.
There are many different things that you can do to stop too many trees being cut down such as reducing the amount of paper you use, recycle/reuse some paper products, use double-sided paper if you need to print, switch to digital books/read magazines online.

Get Set
Seek and Search
1) The woods were behind Mr. Brown's meadow.
2) Sheltie sniffed the air, trying to pick up Minnow's scent.
3) They found a clump of white horse hair from Minnow's mane clinging to a twig.
4) There was a wooden barrier at the entrance to the tunnel warning people to keep out.
5) Sheltie had to be very careful because the ground was uneven where the railway tracks had been removed and there were dips and holes everywhere. Further into the tunnel, the floor became wet and slippery.
6) Minnow had fallen down in the tunnel and trapped his leg.

Quest and query
1) Emma could not see tracks at first because the ground was hard so there weren't any.
2) I think Little Applewood is a small orchard where apple tree grows hence the name.
3) Sheltie had a good sense of smell because there were several paths they could have taken but she knew which path to follow.
4) I think Emma squeezed Sheltie with her heels to make her go faster.
5) I think the railway line was not being used any more because when cars became more affordable less people travelled by railway and many of the railway lines closed down.
6) Sally was both upset and relieved when Emma found her because she started to cry.

Activity B answers (Your answers may be worded differently or you may have a different answer eg in q 9/10 and that's O.K. )

Earth is called the Blue Planet because it’s mostly covered by water and from outer space photos show a beautiful blue planet.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world.
The Atlantic Ocean lies off the west coast of Ireland.
The water in sea water is salty water not fresh water so it is undrinkable.
The Dead Sea is so called because it is so salty fish and plant life cannot live in it.
When water freezes, it turns into ice.
When water is boiled, it turns into steam.
Plants get their water by soaking up water in the ground through their roots.
It is a good idea to store water in reservoirs because if there is a lot of rainfall they help to prevent flooding and we need water stored in reservoirs for drinking water. During times of drought water can be used from these resevoirs.
I think the most valuable use of water is to keep us alive!

Activity C

False 2) False 3) True 4) True 5) False

Activity F
Earth looks blue from space because it has so much water. The largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean. The other four oceans are the Indian, Arctic, Southern and the Atlantic. The Irish Sea separates Ireland and Britain. When water freezes, it turns to ice. When water boils, it turns to steam. The first trains were called steam engines because they ran on boiling water.

4th: Let’s Go
Activity B (Your answers may be worded differently or you may have a different answer eg in q10 and that's O.K. )

Ponds usually form in dips in the ground, which fill up with rainwater.
Birds such as ducks, kingfishers and herons are usually found in or near large ponds.
Water shrews/voles/frogs/toads/newts are animals that can be found in or near ponds.
Amphibians are cold-blooded creatures, while mammals are warm-blooded animals.

Amphibians when they grow, live on land whereas mammals can live on land or in water.
Female mammals give birth to their young but amphibians start life as eggs that are usually laid and hatched in the water.
5.   Rushes, reeds and meadowsweet grow around the banks of ponds.
6. Water lilies and water-crowfoot have roots in the mud at the bottom of ponds, while their leaves and flowers float on the surface
7.   Starwort is unusual in that it grows completely under the water.
8. Ponds are neglected nowadays because people are not as dependent on them as they were in the past. Nowadays, water is available at the turn of a tap but years ago people relied on ponds for their water.
9. If ponds are neglected, overgrown, polluted or filled in, then wildlife that relies on these ponds for their natural habitat are endangered.
10.  Some ponds become polluted when pesticides used by farmers to keep weeds and fertilisers used to help crops grow seep into them killing wildlife that live there.

Activity C

False 2) False 3) True 4) False 5) True

Activity E
Ponds are small pools of water. They form in dips in the ground that fill up with rainwater. A ‘healthy’ pond is teeming with plant and animal life. Ducks, herons and kingfishers are some of the birds found in larger ponds along with mammals such as voles and water shrews. Frogs, toads and newts are some of the amphibians that can be found in ponds. Creatures such as snails, water fleas, dragonflies and beetles all live in ponds. Pond skaters walk across the surface of pond water.
Plants also grow in and around ponds. Duckweed floats on the surface with its roots dangling in the water.

S.E.S.E.
1) Natural features: river (River Dargle), sea (Irish Sea), cliff, Bray Head, beach (Bray Seafront).
2) Man made features: Bray Harour, Church, town hall, school garda station, road and rail network, Dargle View Golf Club.
3) Before the train line came to Bray the people may have travelled by boat, on foot, by bicycle or road.
4) The people of Bray travel to other places by sea/river, road and by train.
5) I think the people of Bray originally built their town beside the River Dargle because they used it for drinking water, as a source of food and for transportation.
1) The last major flood in Bray was in 1986.
2) In 1741 Bray Bridge was completely destroyed in a huge flood.
3) The Town Commissioners built a huge concrete embankment against the sea, called the Promenade, when the seafront kept flooding.
4) Along with the sea, the River Dargle also caused the flood.
5) Houses and business were destroyed by the flood.
6) A full scale emergency plan was declared to deal with the problem.
7) Many people volunteered to help eachother when the town was flooded.
