Hello parents/carers and students,

I hope you had a peaceful weekend and are keeping well. Please leave a comment if you haven't already, so I know who has access to this. It will be helpful when planning future posts.

Thank you to all the children who have completed work so far, and to the adults for helping them. I imagine it is getting trickier to encourage school routines as the weeks go by. With that in mind, I will continue to post activities but there is no pressure to do it. As per previous posts, it is suggested work only. Activities can be done daily, every few days, or over the course of a few weeks. Please do it at a pace that suits the child's ability. Remember that a blank page can often replace the need for a printer.

I came across the below poem recently. Seems like a hopeful poem for all ages, and a nice one to read to your children.
**** I intend to post a video of me saying hi to students over the coming week (If my internet connection permits me!).

Best Wishes,
Ms.Dolan xx

Science and Procedural Writing:

How To Grow a Sunflower

Every year, different classes in OLV Infants get the opportunity to plant sunflower seeds and then care for them. Check out the video I made on the steps involved. This is called a procedure.
We have practised procedural writing during the school year, so I would like you to try it on the attached writing frames (or on a blank page). After watching the video, say what you can remember to an adult. This will help to improve your oral language.

Maths:​
1. Correct Number Formation
2. Counting by Twos
3. Counting forwards/backwards


As you know, correct number formation is important. Lots of practice will help with number reversals- I have attached worksheets (numbers 1-20). We also learned to count by twos up to 20 (worksheets attached).
Check out the videos below that you like to sing-along to in class. Also included is counting to 100- Room.8 enjoy a challenge. They have really improved on their counting skills this term. Well done!

Keep up counting by twos and counting forwards/backwards between 0-20. When you know that, try higher numbers.
Practise counting forwards/backwards from different numbers, e.g. count on from 6-12, 3-16, 9-20, count back from 18-4, 15-2, 11-1.

Hi Summer!

Was very happy to receive your comment. I just saw it now, as sometimes we don't receive comments straight away (have to be approved first).

I am fine and miss seeing you all in Room. 8.


How are you and family?

Hi Jade,

You're doing a great job! Hi to Dylan and family. I'm sure Dylan is helping Mammy and Daddy regularly and having lots of fun with Oscar.

Look forward to more updates on here!
