Zearn for 1st Class

Hi all,
Just a little help with regard using Zearn. Encourage your child to work step by step through each lesson, starting with number gym, sprint/blast, math chat, power tower. The math chat is very important as it teaches the lesson. Your child can take some notes at this point if it helps. The video can be repeated if they are struggling with the next part of the lesson. Complete the bonus section. I am attaching some extra notes below our names at the end that you can give your child to complete at the end of each lesson to consolidate their learning. There is a worksheet to accompany every lesson. Hope this helps and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Active Schools at Home

Video ‘Shout Out’ RTE Home School Hub EXTRA would love to receive videos from children from all parts of the country showing how they got active during #ActiveHomeWeek.

Their aim is to show as wide a variety of activities as possible:

  • Taking on TEACHER Challenges – Beans Can Stacking/Toilet Roll Challenges/Bin Challenges
  • NEW skills – Juggling/Skipping/Gymnastics etc.
  • DANCE- Tik Tok dances, The Foot Shake Challenge, Ballet etc.
  • FAMILY Fitness – Activities where other members of the family join in as well
  • INDOOR Fitness Activities – Active Board Games, Active Spellings/Maths etc.
Video Length
  • 20-30 seconds video (no longer)
  • When videoing it’s really important to hold the camera SIDEWAYS
  • Begin with child/children introducing themselves (first name/school/county) before their activity begins
How to Submit Your Video
  • Go to www.rte.ie/learn
  • Click on the RED button called ‘Share Your Content with Home School Muinteoirs’.  (just above the 1st/2nd class section).
  • Complete the short online form and send your video – it’s a very easy process.
Deadline
  • This FRIDAY at 12pm
Showtime
  • The videos will be aired as part of the RTE Home School Hub EXTRA programme on TUESDAY, May 5th
  • RTE Home School Hub promise that they will look through every video that they receive but advise, if large numbers of videos are received, they will only be able to play a selection of them.

Fingers crossed we’ll see your school represented on next Tuesday’s show.
