Hello Junior and Senior Infants,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I really enjoyed the sunny weather we had!
Well done on all the hard work you did last week. I want to emphasis to parents what a great job you are doing but please do not put yourself under pressure to get all the work that I assign complete. Do what suits your situation best.
I know some of you collected your workbooks from school. Don’t worry If you didn’t, I will be doing the same as last week and giving you worksheets and tasks. The workbooks are there as a back up and as extra work if you would like. If parents would like you to practice your writing you can do your writing in your workbook ‘Ready ,Steady, Write’ in your own time. Try do 2 or 3 pages a week. I will be assigning must of the work from your Busy at Maths and Sounds Make Words workbooks. I will inform you of the pages in the workbooks that I want you to complete on the website and on Seesaw.
It is ‘Active Schools Week’ this week so I will upload some exercise tasks such as movement break videos for you to do daily. You can upload a picture of yourself doing your exercise to Seesaw.
Keep up the great work!!
Ms Hayes.
