Tá leabhair le léamh againn inniu!  Léigh gach duine leabhar le múinteoir Niamh ar scoil inniu agus táimid réidh chun iad a léamh duit sa bhaile.  Ní bheimid in ann gach focal a léamh i gcónaí, cabhraigh linn na radharcfhocail a aithint agus na focail eile a oibriú amach ag úsáid fuaimeanna na litreacha, an pictiúr agus an abairt.  Nuair atá sé léite agaibh, sínigh é agus cuir ar ais sa mhála é.  Ba chóir go bhfuil an leabhar léitheoireachta ag do pháiste gach uile lá agus déanfaidh mé iarracht éisteacht le na páistí agus leabhar nua a thabhairt dóibh gach uile lá. Tá na leabhair ón scéim Séideán Sí ar fáil ar www.seideansi.ie  – téigh isteach go naíonáin mhóra. Tá cluichí ann le gach leabhar. Bainigí taitneamh as!

 

We have books to read today!  Everyone read a book with múinteoir Niamh at school and we are ready to read them for you at home.  We won’t always be able to read every word, help us to recognise the sight words we already know and to work out the other words using the sounds of the letters, the picture and the sentence.  When you have read the book, please sign the reading sheet and send them back to school.  Your child should have their reading book every day at school and I will try to listen to them reading and give them a new book every day. The books from the Séideán Sí series are available on www.seideansi.ie, there is an option to listen to the books being read and some games to develop vocabulary.  Enjoy reading!

Bhíomar ag foghlaim faoi Cruthaíocht Dé. Thaitin gach rud i gCruthaíocht Dé le Dáiví. Beimid ag leamh scéal faoi sa bhaile.

We have been learning about God’s Creation. Dáiví loved everything in God’s Creation. We will be reading a story about him at home.

Tá na páistí ag obair go dian i Naíonáin Mhóra agus tá siad ar fheabhas.  Tá súil agam go bhfuil sibh an-bhródúil astu.

Inniu fuair na páistí cárta le fóclóir, seo an chéad 10 radharcfhocail. Seo iad na focail is minicí a bheidh ann sa léitheoireacht agus caithfidh na páistí bheith in ann iad a léamh go tapaidh (in ionad iad a fhuaimiú amach).  Bhíomar ag cleachtadh cluichí sa rang a chabhróidh le na páistí na focail a aithint.  Gearr suas na cartaí beaga sa bhaile agus bain triail as na cluichí leo! Tá gach focal ann faoi dhó. Seo griangraif dúinn ag imirt na cluichí.

The children in Naíonáin Mhóra are working very well and they are all so good, I hope you are all very proud of them! 

Today the children brought home a card with vocabulary, these are the first ten sight words.  These are the words that occur most frequently in their reading and the children need to be able to recognise them on sight (rather than trying to sound them out).  We have been playing games which will help the children to recognise the words quickly.  Cut up the words at home and have a go at playing these games.  There are two copies of every word.  Here are some pictures of us playing the games.

Bhí a lán rudaí eile ar siúl i rith na seachtaine…….there were lots of other things happening during the week too…

Deich ag a Deich (aclaíocht sa seomra ranga) / 10 at 10 – exercise in the classroom

Ag obair le chéile – working together

Ag foghlaim agus ag cleachtadh cluichí clóis / learning and practising games to play in the yard

 

 

 

Bhíomar i Seomra na Ríomhairí don chéad uair inniu.  Thaitin sé go mór linn!

 

We were in the computer room for the first time today.  We really enjoyed it!

Is breá linne obair a dhéanamh!

 

Táimid ag déanamh dul siar ar na litreacha agus na fuaimeanna.  Tá a agus c déanta againn.  Tá amhráin ar eolas againn faoi gach litir, cuir ceist orainn iad a chanadh duit!

We are revising letters and sounds, we have done a and c.  We know songs about each letter, ask us to sing them for you!

 

Aintín Anna, tá sí ag teacht!…….

 

 

Tá na páistí réidh anois chun píosa obair bhaile a dhéanamh ach oíche i rith na seachtaine.  An fáth go bhfuil obair bhaile acu ná chun an dea-oibre atá déanta acu i rith an lae a thaispeáint, an fhoghlaim atá déanta a dheimhniú agus na scileanna atá á fhorbairt acu a chleachtadh.  Freisin cruthaíonn sé dea-nósanna stadéir dóibh don todhchaí.

De gnáth beidh na gníomhaíochtaí céanna ar an lá céanna:

Luan – Mata

Máirt – peannaireacht

Céadaoin – Mata

Déardaoin: Peannaireacht

Freisin bíonn gníomhaíochtaí le déanamh sa bhaile leis an gcóras I nGrá Dé.  Tógfaidh na páistí na leabhair abhaile ar an Aoine agus caithfidh siad iad a thabhairt ar ais ar an Máirt.

Ba chóir go bhfuil na páistí in ann an obair bhaile a dhéanamh gan morán cabhair.  Ní bhíonn aon rud le déanamh acu nach bhfuil clúdaithe ar scoil de gnáth.

Beimid ag tosú ar leabhair léitheoireachta beaga go luath chomh maith.  Beimid an-ghnóthach!

 

The children are ready now to have a small piece of obair bhaile every evening during the week.  The reason they have homework is to give them a chance to show you what they are working on, to reinforce what they have learned and to practise the skills they are developing.  It also sets up good study habits for the future.

Usually the children will have the same type of homework on the same nights:

Monday: mata

Tuesday: handwriting

Wednesday: mata

Thursday: handwriting

There are also weekly activities to do at home/with family from the I nGrá Dé scheme.  The children will take the book home on Fridays and bring it back to school by the following Tuesday.

The children should be able to do their homework without too much help.  They won’t usually be given anything that they haven’t already covered in school.

We will also start on some small reading books soon.   We’ll be very busy!

Fáilte romhaibh ar ais ar scoil!  Bhí lá álainn againn inniu, agus tá gach duine, fiú Múinteoir Niamh, sásta le bheith ar ais ar scoil!  Bhí na páistí ar fheabhas agus táim cinnte go mbeidh bliain den scoth againn.

 

Welcome back to school everyone!  We had a great day today and everyone, even Múinteoir Niamh, is happy to be back at school.  The children were so good today and I am sure we are going to have a fantastic year.
