Good morning, I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Only two days to go to the summer holidays! I know you can't wait! 

Today I want you to reflect on the year you have had and fill out a worksheet about the memories you have of your year in Junior or Senior Infants. You can write or draw in your responses.

Also I would like you to click on the links below so you can recap on how to stay safe this summer when near water or on a farm. It's always very important that we know how to stay safe when around water or when we are on a farm.

You might also decide to visit a local park and bring a picnic with you which is perfect too. But please let me know on seesaw how your school tour goes and tell me your favourite thing about the tour.

Good morning everyone, 
I hope you all enjoyed Creative Day yesterday. Today's theme is STEM / Lego Day. I will give you a few ideas of what you can do however you may wish to do something else and that is perfect too. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Yeah I know that sounds very complicated but I will just give you a few science experiments you might like to try at home. 

Lesson 1 - Minibeasts - Below is a link to a powerpoint and information on the following minibeasts - butterfly, dragonfly, ladybird, snail, spider and worm. 

​Lesson 2 - Science Experiment on paper towel colour mixing. Please find the link below. Water moves up the paper towel because the paper is absorbent, it sucks up water. The colour travels with the water making the paper change from white to red to blue.. Colours mix when they are joined together, red and blue make purple. See what colours can be made with just the primary colours. 

Lesson 3 - Easy Lego Ideas -

• build a person with moving legs and arms
• build a robot 
• build a model of your room 
• build a favourite character 
• build your name or initials 

Lesson 4 -Lego Bridge Building Challenge - A fun Lego building Challenge.

Hello boys and girls,
Today is my last day teaching you. I have left some fun activities for you to do today or over the weekend. Unfortunately, Seesaw is not working for me  at this moment, I think it knows its my last day. 
I have send an email to  all parents of a  video message from me to you.
It has been a pleasure to teach you all , although I would have preferred to have taught you face to face a little longer.
Ms Doyle will be back to you on Monday. I heard  the next two weeks are going to be filled with fun online learning. Have fun and enjoy.
Thank you,
Stay safe and take care,
Ms Hayes.
