Mrs Murphy – Week beginning 2nd June and 8th of June 2020

I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having. I have been busy playing

outside in the garden, splashing in the paddling pool and going for lots of walks and adventures in the forest.

Can you believe it is June? It is nearly time for the Summer holidays...Yippee!!! Just another few weeks with some

school work.

Some of you sent me photographs of your school work, art, baking, gardening, farming and pets. I have even received

some funny jokes that made me laugh.

Continue to send me images of your work or if you have any queries just email me on

eimear.mulligan@doohamletns.com I really love hearing from you as I am missing you all so much.

Again, I have set new work and activities for the next two weeks. I have provided screenshots from the various

books for your convenience. You can choose activities from the list below; you do not have to get everything done.

The main things to focus on are your reading and keywords, tables and some writing focusing on your spelling and

sounds as you write.

Take care and stay safe.

Slán go fóill,

Mrs Murphy.

add 1 is the same as 9 ‡ 5 and 3 and 1 are equal to 9

many crayons does he have altogether? ‡

Record each problem as an addition sentence. Suggest alternative sums and find the answer by ‘counting on’ on the number line.
