This week marks the last week of the 2019/20 school year and hopefully the last week of 'Home Schooling'! I'm sure we are all looking forward to starting the new school year in as 'normal' a way as possible. So to celebrate what has been a very different school year for us all I am going to post some of our best moments in this weeks blog and ask you to sit together and enjoy reminiscing about some of our happiest moments in Senior Infants! I hope you enjoy them. ​

September started off with a lovely trip to the Botanic Gardens! 

I would love if I could compile some 'Favourite Memories' from each child in Rm6  for our final Friday Feedback this week. Your child might choose to upload a little video, a photo or complete this activity sheet. They might share a fond memory or something they really enjoyed about being in Senior Infants. Hopefully I will have a few thoughts to share with you on Friday. Please upload below. ​

Next week will be our last week of school so please make sure you visit our last homework blog on Monday! Have a lovely weekend,

Kind Regards,
​Ms Murray 

Visit your GetEpic.com account and you'll see this video I have assigned to your child's folder. 

Last week Calum made this amazing little book of Zoo animals! Well done Calum, what a great job you did. I wonder of anyone could try making a little book of dinosaurs this week? You can check out last week's challenges for the 'How to make a book" video. 

It was so nice to be able to share some of your happy moments on Friday Feedback. Please keep them coming and we can enjoy sharing them on Friday Feeback. 

Have a lovely week! 

Kind Regards,

​Ms Murray

Have a lovely weekend everyone and I hope all the birthday celebrations went well! Chat to you on Monday,

Kind Regards,

We celebrate lots of special birthdays this week! Congratulations to Emily on Wednesday, Mia M. on Thursday and Karim Saturday! I hope you all have a wonderful day and I'm sure you'll get to do something nice.

This week we're going to take a virtual school tour to the Zoo! So let's jump straight to the fun challenges below! Of course you are free to continue with any tasks similar to the previous weeks and set some pages in the workbooks. You can also try some of the maths and literacy activities on the additional support page. Or why not get active with Ms McSweeny over on her Skipping School page!

Click to download the activity sheets below. Colour a block for each animal you can spot and record coordinates of the zoo animals. Remember print out in black and white to save ink.

Check out the virtual visits to the Zoo below. Do you recognise any of the places or animals in Dublin Zoo?

I would love to see a photo of you doing something fun this week! I miss your smiley faces so much and I know you all miss your friends so we would all love to see your happy faces in Friday Feeback this week! 

I hope you enjoy this week's challenges! I can't wait to hear about what you get up to this week. Please feel free to contact me via email if you need to.

Kind Regards,

​Ms Murray

Thank you again to everyone who has engaged in distance learning. We have three week left of the school summer term. Normally we would have been winding down on the academics and heading outdoors as much as possible; having as much fun as we can. So for the next three weeks please feel free to reduce the amount of "focus work" and maybe spend some of that time visiting the playgrounds (YAY!!!) and seeing some of your friends. It's so lovely to feel a little bit of 'normal' feeding back into our lives so make the most of it. I will continue to post the weekly blog, keeping it very simple and adding some playful activities. Instead of sending me 'work' for Friday Feedback I would love if you could send me a photo of your child doing something fun, like visiting the playground (YAY!!!) or a visit to the beach, walk in the park or even a visit to a loved one? I think it would be nice to celebrate the things we are thankful for over the last three weeks. 

Hope you all enjoy the weekend,

Kind Regards,

Ms Murray

Yay! The summer has officially arrived! According to meteorology which is the study of weather, the summer months are June, July and August. We get to enjoy all the fine weather (although the good weather has been here a while now!). You may get to make a few visits to the beach or be lucky enough to have a blow-up paddling pool in your garden. But we must remember to stay safe and always make sure you have an adult to watch you! Below are some watery challenge for you this week! 

Watch the videos below and talk to your grow-up about how you can stay safe in the water!
