Hi everyone, hope you all had a lovely Easter and lots of yummy eggs!

I wish we were all meeting back at school to start our last term together - hopefully that will happen some time soon! We will also be missing a birthday in our class this week - wishing a very happy birthday to Danny, hope you have a lovely day!

But for now here are some activities you can do to practise your reading, writing and maths at home. I would like to stress to the grown ups that not all of these tasks have to be completed - please do what suits you and your child. Also, in school, we would not complete all these tasks in a row - we would mix it up with movement breaks and activities in between to let off some steam!

I would also love if all the boys and girls could pick a piece or two of their work that they are really proud of from the week and email a photo of it to me so I can see their amazing work! My email address is kathygreene@cloonfadns.com. You can also use this email address for any questions about the week's work.

Thanks everyone - looking forward to hearing from you!
Ms. Greene

I would like everyone to visit either Oxford Owl or Collins Big Cat websites (links below) and pick a book to read - you can pick a different one each day or choose one to focus on for the week!

Senior Infants can also continue to go on to the next page in their small homework books - My Sounds Booklet, and Just Handwriting.

Our sound for this week is 'th'. This is the page from our Just Phonics book at school. If you don't have a printer, you can draw or just talk about the activities!
Monday: pg 52. A and B.
Tuesday: pg. 52. C and D
Wednesday: pg. 53 A and B
Thursday: pg. 53 C
Friday: Dictation - Ask a grown-up to read out these words for you to write down: thin, moth, teeth, them, then, this, that, the. If you do really well with those words, you could try to write a sentence or two - remembering your finger spaces!

Also, at some stage this week, I would love for you to draw a picture and write about something you did during your Easter holidays - you can even ask a grown-up to take a picture of it and email it to me! kathygreene@cloonfadns.com

Senior Infants can revise over the story of 9 and all the different ways of making 9 this week. Here are some pages from your workbook. You can write out the sums, draw pictures to go with them, or do them orally.

Before you do these pages you could practise lots of ways of making 9 using items you have at home - pasta shells, crayons, legos, anything at all! You could also do a number hunt around your home, or play a game of snap with playing cards - snap when you see number 9!

You can also practise writing the number and remember our rhyme - 'Make a loop and then a line, that's the way we make a 9!'

Remember to practise counting with your finger on the number line on pg. 72, taking care not to skip over any numbers and to take a jump at the start!
