Good morning Room.8,
No school yesterday might have saved teacher from some of your April Fool's Day tricks! In the spirit of some needed cheer, I have added a few jokes/funny pictures for today. They're not my jokes, explanations may be needed, and maybe they're not even funny ........but I tried!!

Pencil Control Skills

Strengthening of fine motor skills is essential at infant level. These skills are needed for lots of different activities, for e.g. cutting with scissors, writing, drawing, colouring, buttoning/zipping of clothes, eating, using keyboards and page turning. As I have mentioned previously at school, it will be more challenging for a child to master basic handwriting without first mastering correct pencil control and grip.
Please find attached the following:
  1. pencil control worksheets
  2. alphabet worksheets
  3. number formation/counting workbook (numbers 1-20) 
​Children often find the attached activities relaxing. They encourage a more mindful approach- usually the child is less able to focus on other distractions!

Oral Language

If you get a chance, please ask your child to take a look at the spring picture. Then ask them to answer the below questions. There is no need for writing. This one is all about the chat!

Phonics

At this stage of Senior Infants, children are becoming more confident at  recognising and saying the 42 letter sounds.  Here is a video and activity sheets for further practice.
