Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Please find below a short plan for this week. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me on emerf@stoliverplunkettns.com
As I said in my email last week please don't feel under pressure to do all this work. A little bit of phonics, some maths and lots of independent play is perfect for Junior Infants.
I'll update Seesaw in the morning with a little video saying hi to the children and a brief run through of the work. Feel free to send me videos/ photos of the children's work or their news, myself and Caroline would love to see them and we'll be sure to send messages back.
Thank you,
Emer
