6th Class Work – Ms. McKenna

18th – 22nd May

Hi girls! Well done on all the great work that you have been doing! Keep it up!

Here is the list of work for this week. Remember to read all of these pages before you begin.

Read the instructions slowly and carefully. Try your best and remember not to worry if you get

stuck. Remember to date your workbooks. I have written useful tips after each subject grid to

help you along with the activities. I will send you answers to some activities on Friday.

Worksheets are at the bottom of this document.

There are 5 SeeSaw activities for this week. These will help you to get more familiar

with the app! Have a go at it and see how you get on. More instructions will be on SeeSaw

As always, complete what you can, circumstances in every home are different and I understand

this! Just do your best and it really does not matter if you do not complete all this work. It is

really more important to stay happy and safe!

I am quite sure that most of you are finished your Spellbound/ Fuaimeanna agus Focal and Maths Challenge. Well done. If you’re not

finished, keep doing them as normal this week and check back to see if you missed any units.

Useful Tips

Monday and Tuesday: I have attached workcards for you. These are at the bottom of the page. Please remember to do full sentences.

Wednesday: We are moving onto a new writing genre called ‘persuasive writing’. This is when you write a balanced argument. This means you

are for AND against the statement mentioned above. You must include reasons for why fast food shops should be banned AND also why they

should stay open.

Look at this website to help with the layout of the persuasive writing: https://www.twinkl.ie/resource/au-l-53229-introduction-to-persuasive-

text-powerpoint

Brainstorm your ideas first. Remember you have to be for and against the statement.

Thursday: I’m sure you’ll enjoy this debate! Write down a few points as to why you think pets should be allowed to come to school and present

it to your parents/older sibling. Remember you can always be against the motion!

Friday: Write antonyms for these words: weak/slow/dangerous/increase/healthy/aggressive/inaccurate/different. Now put antonym words into

sentences.
