Dear parents,Please find a layout of revision work to continue with your child over the next two weeks. Please do not work ahead with pages not listed as these topics may not have been covered and will be done in school.Junior InfantsDatePages to readWednesday 18th MarchPg 3Thursday 19th MarchPg 4Monday 23rd March Pg 5Tuesday 24th MarchPg 6Wednesday 25th MarchPg 7Thursday 26th MarchPg 8Revision of sounds and words: continue to use workbag to practice letter names and sounds and sight words. Games can be played with the cards by turning over a selection of cards and trying to find the one that says “sssss” etc. You can also play what do I have where one person take a card and says I have the letter at the start of the word zebra etc and the other player has to guess the letter.If your child is making sentences with their sight words try to make silly sentences and get them to read the sentence and try to pick out the word that doesn’t belong.Busy at Maths workbook: children can work on pages 21/22/23 as these are topics we have covered in class.News: Encourage children to tell you some of their news of the day. In school we usually start with Today is _______. It is ________ (sunny/cloudy/windy) and then a piece of their own news. If your child is eager to write, free writing is encouraged but keep an eye on pencil grip/letter formation. They can also draw a picture to illustrate their news.Twinkl - any colouring/tracing/cutting activities are very helpful for your child at this stage and lots of samples of this kind of work can be found on twinkl.ie who are giving parents free membership for this month, printables, stories and powerpoints about different topics can be accessed through this site.Gonoodle is a youtube channel that encourages active breaks for when the weather is too wet to be outside – we have enjoyed dancing with Maximo here at school but there are many others! There are also mini meditation session for kids on Gonoodle which can be helpful with any anxieties at this time – (rainbow breathing is a nice 4 minute activity).I will include any other helpful free sites on our school website under Class Blogs – Junior and Senior Infants. We also have galleries under this tab of our Grandparents Day, Aistear, Show and Tell and other activities we’ve done through the year, feel free to take a look with your child and have them tell you about some of the things we’ve done.Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I will do my best to help. Do what you can but most importantly stay safe and well.Rachael ................
