Mo Mhadra

Na hAinmhithe

27th February 2018 - 'said' is dead

November 27th 2017 
Our poem of the week is all about a child's curiosity about the amazing world around them. Though we think adults might wonder at some of these questions also.

Our Word of the Day Wall is becoming quite cramped.

Betty Botter's Batter

We have been practicing the reading comprehension strategy
​Making Predictions this month. While reading we think about what might happen in the story and look for clues in the text and pictures to help us understand what it is about.

I think the story is about ......

I predict that ...... will happen next.

From what I know .......... I don't think that......
​
That's not what I thought would happen.

Our Word of the day display is getting bigger each day.

Word of the Day
Each day we randomly pick a Word of the Day from the dictionary. We discuss the word and then define it. We then write a sentence with the word in it and put  the word on our Word of the Day display.  We noticed that some words can have more than one meaning.

So far we have discussed the words - error, plunge, lap, vitamin, magnet, code, anxious, tide.

We have been studying the poem "All Cats Sleep Anywhere" and were inspired to do some artwork based on cats. We hope you like our "Groovy Cats".
