Hello everyone,
Myself and Caroline are missing all the lovely happy faces that greet us every morning in school so we thought the children would like to see a photo of their friends 😊

Monday Phonics: Set 2 flashcards-
Does your child know the sound and the action? (Jolly Phonics song is linked
below if needed. Please stop the song after the ‘d’ sound.) Join each picture to the sound it begins with. Segment (sound out) and blend (read) first column of Group 1 words Read book ‘Tips’ *Note: This group
of letters is revision, we have covered these sounds in school before
Christmas. If your child is having trouble with any particular sound the
website below is an excellent resource for revision. Simply click Sound like Phonics
Activity Book A. Then click the unit that contains the letter you want
your child to work on e.g r is in Unit 3: The Toy Shop. Click the letter and
there are a number of activities/games for revising that sound. Fine motor: Can you make
any of these sounds c,k,e,h,r,m,d
with playdough? Use the flashcards to help you. Maths- Weight Find objects around the house that are heavy and light. Can
you find things that are heavier/
lighter than your pencil case? Put two objects in your child’s hands-
which one is heavier/lighter? Gaeilge (revision): Watch
the songs on Seesaw and join in. Maybe you could teach them to your parents
or brothers/sisters. There is also a lovely video as
Gaeilge from Caroline on Seesaw for you all today. Optional Activity: RTÉ Art
competition: Follow this link if you would like to enter an art competition.
Entries must be submitted (by emailing a photo) by Sunday 31st
January. We do lots of work on our gross
motor skills in Junior Infants. This week I’ll post an idea each day for
developing these skills. However do not feel under pressure to complete
these- if your child is running around playing/jumping on their trampoline/etc
they are developing these skills already. Dino Stomp (the children
enjoy this dance in school): |
