WORK FOR STUDENTS OF MS. O’ROURKE AND MS. LINDON
Hi Children, Parent(s) / Guardian(s),
‘Hoping all’s well with you. ☺ I’m sure you have been doing your best with the school work which has been set for you, and you must be praised for that, because it is not easy to stay motivated when you are not in class where your friends and teachers can encourage you. Here are some jokes as a little treat to give you a laugh. Warning – only Some are funny!! https://www.ducksters.com/jokes/
If you scroll down you will find your classes’ activities for the next week and a half, ie. 4/6 up to 14/6 .
I have tried to put a good choice/ range for you, so you do not have to bother with anything that’s too taxing. You can instead practise everything else a few times, or, revisit other sites/ activities which you were already introduced to over the last number of weeks.
Hope this helps,
Take care and stay happy,
Miss O’Rourke.

• Adding within 10: https://www.math-salamanders.com/addition-math-worksheets.html Scroll down to see the domino and addition pages. Say the answers, or better still, get a copy and write out your own addition sentences for the dominoes eg. 3+4=7. Use the plus and equals signs (in this order +=).

• Capacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL3O2l2lFGs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12njHlMOdHo and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF3JSnEq7tU Talk about and explore the capacity of different containers in your home. Use the following vocabulary: more, less, same, equal, holds more, holds less, full, empty, almost full, almost empty, half full, half empty, capacity. Find a unit measure, like a cup and see how many cups are in larger containers such as jugs, bottles, buckets etc. Before you begin, you could estimate (guess) what the results will be. This (entire capacity) activity needs to be done under the supervision of an adult for safety reasons.
