Good morning Boys!
Can you please make sure and give permission for your son to you Seesaw on Aladdin Connect, so I can send you your code by email.
If you need any help or support, please do not hesitate to email me at mmcdermott@stcorbans.com. I will do my best to reply as quickly as possible.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE!
The SET who is assigned with our class level would like to provide you with their email, should there be any boy who is struggling with their assigned work. They may be able to advise you on how to differentiate the work to meet your sons needs during this time at home.
Ms. B. Dunne bdunne@stcorbans.com
Virtual Meeting Etiquette
To help us get the most benefit from our Zoom calls, we ask that the following etiquette be adhered to by pupils involved in these sessions:
- Dress appropriately- regular daytime clothing
- Be aware of your surroundings- Pick a room that is not a bedroom and does not have traffic passing through. Be mindful of noise from other people or pets.
- Mute your microphone when you are not talking- only turn on the microphone if you are asked to speak. Muting the microphone when you are not speaking gives others the ability to chime in and share their thoughts without distraction or frustration.
- Leave the keyboard alone- the sound of your typing is distracting.
- Be respectful- teachers and pupils are real people who are affected by words that you say and write.
- Using chat- do not use chat when the teacher is talking. Be respectful at all times when using chat. Remember that you are in a classroom, even if you are not wearing a uniform.
- No food allowed- we do not want you dropping crumbs all over your keyboard!
- Stay seated and stay present- do not leave the room or talk on your phone.
- Be patient- this is new to a lot of people and it may take time to learn.
- Engage in the meeting, be present and contribute when requested.
Boys,
Well done today with the quiz. It was great seeing you all. I went through all the quizzes that people sent me in and we have a winner. It was very close but the winner was............................
EDWARD!!!
Well done Edward. You are our winner this week. You were all very good today boys and it was great to see you all looking so well. Just one think from the quiz boys, bats are not blind. Every boy that sent me in their answers (I think) said that they were. I will attach the quiz below. I just picked a few from the 60. You might be able to have a little family quiz.
See you all next week for another Zoom.

Preabann sí, casann sí, : It bounces, it turns,
Léimeann sí timpeall. It jumps around.
Cictear í, buailtear í, It is kicked, it is hit,
Ard agus íseal :High and low,
Amanna tapa, uaireanta mall, At times it is fast, sometimes slow,
Suas agus síos, Up and down,
Sall is anall. Back and forth.
Istigh sa chúl, In the goal,
Thar an trasnán, Over the cross bar,
Croitear na bratacha, Flags are hung,
Glas agus bán, Green and white,
Ag luí ar an talamh, Lying on the ground,
Nó ag eitilt san aer. Or flying in the air.
Screadadh is béiceadh Screaming and shouting
Ón slua go léir. From all the crowd.
