End of Year Video

Welcome to our last Week of online learning, I would like to say well done to all of Room 10 for such amazing work and I would like to thank all the parents for their hard work over these past few months, we would not have been able to get through this strange time without you all.

Virtual School Tour

Unfortunately this year the children missed out on their school tour which is really sad as it’s the nicest time of year. So I thought it would be fun to have a virtual school tour to a Zoo. Not just any zoo for this school tour we will be travelling to another country. Below I have posted our ticket 😊 and some videos that they provided for us to look at. The website also has lots of other videos and live webcams too. I hope the children enjoy this experience. Also if you want to get to Dublin Zoo during the summer make sure you book your slot. 😃

While you watch the videos from Melbourne zoo I want you to be thinking of some of these questions to answer and try and pick your favourite animal from Melbourne Zoo. 😍

Zoo website
There was so many keeper talks to choose from, I only have picked three below but feel free to watch all the videos on their website.

Live Webcams

They have so many live camera feeds on their website it is worth a visit. I’ve linked below just the penguin one but if you look they have a,so saved loads of live streams too.

Story time  

So I managed to find the recording of Mac Barnett reading the book Chloe and the Lion and he definitely reads it better than I did, so if you like the story listen again down below to his version with some awesome impressions. All of Mac Barnet’s books are on his Instagram tv including his novel series which are amazing I highly reccomend checking them out. I think I will be buying quite a few new books for my library! 😀

Important Video for Parents explaining the Weekly Blog

Please watch the video below to explain the new weekly layout. This is to help you plan your week and allow free choice of what to do each week. Some days the children will want to do lots of work and other days not so much, this is normal and to be expected at this stage of school at home. Don’t worry if some days you get very little done! I hope seeing in advance the whole weeks layout will allow you to pick and choose what suits you best. If you have any questions ask in the comments below or send me an email to [email protected]

Let’s celebrate with Zoe!!

I hope you will all join me in Room 10 in wishing Zoe a happy birthday. Yesterday she celebrated her birthday with her family. 🎈🎂 it looks like she had a fantastic day and looked very happy! 😊😃

Dictation

Below you find all the videos for dictation for this week, as I said last week this is a different type of dictation because it is the last part of dictation for the class in Senior Infants. Each day there are 12 words now in class we used to complete 10 words a day but online we have only completed 5, so the choice is yours. You can choose to do 6 words each day and continue dictation to next week, or do all 12 or do 6 in morning and 6 in the afternoon. The decision is yours!! Well done everybody in competing Dictation in Senior Infants.
