A must-watch!! 😁
Hello everyone and welcome to the last week of online learning for the year. You are officially graduated after this week and can call yourselves Senior Infants! Congratulations everybody and well done to all. You have worked tremendously hard throughout the year and especially over the last couple of months when it's been really hard. Give your mammies and daddies a big hug and tell them well done too, I bet they have been super teachers!
You can keep this week totally fun and just stick to the activities, while also enjoying the freedom/lifted restrictions. However, I know some parents are still holding on to a bit of routine so I will post some suggested work too.

** I'm also going to leave a link to lots of helpful resources that might be of use to you over the summer holidays**
https://padlet.com/mskeogh/bgqx13slivel6d7c
English:
  1. I suggest that you continue to practice your reading on                               www.connect.collins.co.uk.
  2. Sounds, tricky words, word lists
  3. My Summer Bucket list - What sort of things do you want to get up to this summer? Draw pictures and write! (see example below)
  4. Handwriting (see more below)
  5. Dictation (see more below)
  6. Read a story - if you don't have access to books, youtube have lots.

Handwriting
Book - page 64

Optional practice

Suggested words for Dictation:
  • web
  • zip
  • gum
  • tug
  • ham
  • set
  • thing
  • pinch
  • such
  • flash
  • spin
  • chicken
Suggested story: While we can't hug. I thought this one might be nice, as restrictions are slowly being lifted, it is difficult for children to understand why it is important to still keep their distance.
Maths:
  1. Revise adding within 5, or within 10 if you wish. Use concrete materials to help; fruit, toys, coins etc.
  2. Busy work - page 40 of your book
There are a couple of pages in the book that I have not assigned, as I think they are not fitting for the times we are living in. They are really to chat about your typical week ie. dancing on Mondays, swimming on Tuesdays etc. However, feel free to complete. You could fill in each box one day at a time and ask your child what they did on that day.
