4th Class Plan of Work Week 5

Hello 4^th Class!

Once again this week, you have all worked really hard and posted some wonderful work on Seesaw! 

It is hard to believe that we are heading into our 5th week of online learning! Keep up the fantastic work throughout next week and then you can look forward to having a relaxing week off for our Midterm break. I'm sure all the mums and dads who have been doing a great job helping and encouraging you with your school work will enjoy the break from remote learning too! 

This is my last week teaching you as Mr. O'Connor will be back after Midterm. Even though I didn't get to meet you all in the classroom, I have really enjoyed seeing you all on our Zoom calls. You are such a hard-working, talented and friendly group and I am so impressed with the work that you have completed at home over the past few weeks! 

We will have another Zoom call Monday morning at 10am. We will have a chat and play some more games so have a pencil and paper ready!

Below is your plan of work for Week 5 (starting next Monday).

Please label all your work clearly when completing an activity in your copies – name of activity/ page number/ date.

Blue highlight = there will be a video on Seesaw to watch before you begin your work.

Yellow highlight tells you the work you need to upload to Seesaw and on which day.

Movement Break: Take plenty of movement breaks while completing your work.

Try the activity ‘Spell Your Name’ on Seesaw!

STEM: Choose at least one of these activities to try out.

 1. Design and Make an Amazing Arena!

Using LEGO, design and create your own sporting arena.
First, draw a picture and label the different features you would include in the sporting arena. Using LEGO, try to build what you designed.
 
Some things to consider:
-      What sport is the arena for? Soccer? GAA? Horse-riding arena? Basketball? Tennis? The Olympics?
-      What special features does it have?
-      How big is the arena? How many spectators will it hold? How big will the playing surface be?
-      Will it have a roof or not?
-      Could you use any other materials along with your LEGO to build the arena? (Cardboard/ shoebox/ recyclable materials)
