Happy Friday everybody, yay it’s the weekend and even better it is a bank Holiday Weekend so we get an extra day. I will see you all back here on Tuesday!!

Since the weather has been so beautiful, today’s blog is short! The most important thing for everyone to do is to go out and enjoy the sunshine, play and have fun!!! Have a lovely long weekend, relax and have an ice-cream!! ☀️😊🍦🍦

Today’s maths activity is all about skip counting and sequences of number, counting in 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Pick and choose which sequence snakes you would like to do.

Time to work on your space project. I’ve linked a video of an astronaut washing her hair in space for you to see, it’s very cool.

Happy Thursday everybody, hope you are all having a lovely week so far!! I hope you all enjoyed the skipping school yesterday with Ms. McSweeney. Keep an eye on the additional support section for her next lesson.

Continue the maths assessment from yesterday! Also apologies for any confusion caused yesterday I placed the book from last year up by mistake my apologies 🙈🤣

Continue working on you poster project based on the solar system, or a specific planet. Also check out this awesome video about how to wash your hands in space!!!!

Happy Wednesday everybody!!!! 😄 I hope you all received your skipping rope last week with your book packs, well Ms. McSweeney has started a skipping school for the children. Check out the link below and the video for your first lesson. Have fun!!

Now since you now have your books at home, I might be referring to these for some lessons, as always you can pick what you would like to do for your lessons. Some days the children might prefer to work from their books other days not.

Today we are going to begin a project, in first class you will get lots of chances to do project work so this is a good place to begin. Also when I taught in the Senior schools we loved doing projects and presenting them to the class. This is a poster project And I will explain in detail  in the video below. As this will take some time and is definitely not a stressful activity you can have a few days to do it. You might need to research some information about Space so this search engine is great for children. I showed an example of searching for information about Mercury below. I have placed the videos below for the solar system, as they contain good information as well. I have provided flash cards.

Happy Tuesday everybody, hope you all had a lovely Monday and got out to enjoy the sunshine!! ☀️☀️

This week we are taking a break from The Twits and instead I will link in a story from story Online for the children to listen to.

We are going to start with a revision of our days of the week and months of the year. We will also practise some skip counting. Then the activity for today is based on the Number before and the Number After.

Today we de going to be exploring the solar system in more detail. Below you will find a fun video about our solar system from the story bots, some flash cards with details about each plant. For our activity today we will be making a solar system poster. Now Zoe you are way ahead of us in this one and you already made a solar system 😊 so I am going to post her version below as well to give you some inspiration.

Here is the video of how I went about making a solar system 

Good morning everybody and happy Monday. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and got out and enjoyed the sunshine yesterday!!!

Let’s practise our counting with a video from last week!!!

Next we are going to have our target board activity, these target boards are great for developing the children’s maths language and their mental maths ability. I use them all the time in 1st class and the more senior classes so this is great practice for them.

Today we are going to start filling in our yearbooks. I hope you like the pictures I put in for you and the little poem at the back. Watch the video below to find out what pages we will do today.

Good morning everybody, apologies I have just noticed my blog for Friday never loaded or was deleted somehow, so sorry about this. I’ve posted it now and because it was late I’ve made it short and sweet. Apologies again, Have a lovely weekend everybody.

Happy Thursday everybody, don’t forget today is the day to collect books from school. The Senior Infant Slot is from 11 to 12.

For today’s next lesson on space, I have a PowerPoint from Twinkl but needed to but it into a video for you to see. Watch the video below about our solar system and we will have two activities at the end.

Today we are going to be practising the question, Cad atá sa chistín? Watch the video below.

Today’s maths is a challenge on our theme of space. Below you will find a pdf document with some challenges there are different levels of difficulty marked at the top 1star, 2stars, and 3stars. Pick and choose a level for you child. Have fun!!

Good morning everybody, I hope you are all well. Don’t forget tomorrow is the day for collecting your child’s books from school.

Ms. fallon has also created a quiz about Judith Kerr if you want to give it a go click the link below.

Today we are going to start our topic of space. I would like you to begin today’s lesson by reading the ebook provided below. There is a lovely flip book version of this on twinkl but it will not allow me to upload to the blog, so I have provided a pdf version for you.

Now having read our book we are going to do some work based on Day and Night, I am completing one worksheet with you in the video and the second you will do on your own.

Ms. Stanley has created a maths quiz game show so for today’s maths go have a look and take part.

Happy Friday everybody and well done on completing another week of school at home. We have only 5 weeks left of school this year which is crazy. I hope most of you were able to get your packs from school yesterday, from next week we will begin work on our yearbooks; I will do this with videos. I hope you all have a lovely weekend and take it easy, the blog is short today so spend that extra time playing and having fun.

This maths lesson is based on our 100 square, I am going to call out a number and you need to find it on the 100 square and colour in that number!

Good morning everybody, I hope you all had a lovely Monday. Apologies for any emails I have not responded too, I have read them all and will be responding today!!! I had a great day yesterday as for the first time in a very long time I was able to make an essential trip into school and into Room 10. While it was very quiet with no one around and no hustle and bustle of all the children it was still lovely to be back in our rooms. I was in preparing packs for the children for parents to collect later in the week (don’t worry as you will see down below in the photos we all maintained social distancing rules and had our masks and gloves on). You will receive a text about this with all the details as each year group has a different time to collect. Please do go in and collect your child’s pack (or have a relative or neighbour get them for you) Along with your children’s artwork, books, folders and copies, I have also included a note for parents, an end of year booklet which we will be using on the blog next week and a certificate for their end of Senior Infants. Hope this will brighten up their days just a little.

Now it is time for some word problems. Below you will find a slideshow of 25 word problems. You do not need to print these out just view the images and the children can answer using a blank page. I hope you are starting to see some improvement with these word problems, if you find any of the sums to easy you can also change them by adding a 10 or 20. Example; there was 5 apples and they bought 12 more. Could be changed to there was 15 apples and they bought 12 more.

Last week we learned some new words for the garden and we revised them plus some new ones yesterday, I am going to post that video again to revise the words and then I would like you to do a simple drawing task for me. For this I will call out a word and I would like you to draw it. I will call out all the words and then at the end I will show each word so don’t worry if you get stuck and forget one just leave it blank and complete it at the end. 😀
