Hi everyone. I hope you enjoyed the nice weather! I can't believe it is June already. Thank you to all the girls and boys for the hard work you have been doing. I know that when the weather is nice it is more difficult to concentrate on work.
I have put some information from Irish Water Safety this week. There are some nice activities and lessons that you might like. I think water safety is really important so if you can please have a look. Thank you again for the work and photos you have sent to me.

Grow in love pages 46 and 47 Pentecost and The Prayer to the Holy Spirit xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWork suggestions for the week 27th April- 1st May
Hi everyone, I hope home school is going well for you all and not causing any stress at home. Do what is comfortable for you to manage. There is no pressure to complete everything I suggest. From the emails I received you are all doing a great job! I have found, for me, when it comes to reading books and materials the oxfordowl.co.uk site is the easiest to manage but any reading is great. Going back over word lists and sentences in the reading copy for senior infants children in particular is a good idea. Active school week usually takes place every April but this year families are invited to take part at home. Each child is encouraged to take part in some form of exercise for four blocks of 15 minutes each day to total 60 mins per day. There is a form that children can fill out and return if they wish to do so. Keep an eye on the Active Schools link at the top of the home page on the school website. =========================================================================================== |

Senior Infants
English- reading please continue to read for about 10 minutes each day. Going back over words and sentences in the reading copies is good to help keep the words familiar. The website I find easiest to use at home is the oxfordowl.co.uk and it has the supplementary readers we use in school.

Handwriting- pages 30-34 v,w,x,z,y If this is a struggle half a page.

Working from Home
suggested work for the week 20th-24th April
Welcome back to home school. I hope everyone had a happy and healthy Easter. I will post work for each week on this web page but I understand that it may not be possible to get every task completed. I do not want to add pressure to anyone so please do what you can and don't worry too much-I'm still getting used to home schooling myself!
I would suggest that reading and maths would be the main things to focus on. Irish may not be possible for all parents to teach but there are websites such as Séideán Sí and Cúla 4 that are useful. Also Múinteoir Ray on the RTE hub is a good way to keep up with vocabulary and listening skills.
Reading is most important at all levels. The last book I would normally cover from The Wandsville Series with senior infants is Globby's football Match and the last one for first class is called Camper Van Fun. Most children had already completed these books before school finished but if not, the are available on the CJ Fallon website. The supplementary readers I use are from the Oxford reading Tree (oxford owl website).
As a rough guide, I would suggest that, if possible, senior infants might spend about an hour each day on their school work with a break after 30 minutes and first may be able for a little longer but also with a break every half hour.

Senior infants
English: reading- try to read for about 10 min each day. Any easy reader books are fine or use the books from the websites above.

handwriting-if possible a page each day. (pages 25-29 for this week. If this is a struggle complete half the page only).
Word Wise - oral language page 70 Spring and page 22 Farm Animals
Maths: I think most children will have finished their home school links book this week so in the main text book we are ready to continue with combining and partitioning pages 77 ,78 and 79. Some children will find these pages easier if they have counters or any concrete materials to use when adding and subtracting.
What a Wonderful World: Spring theme pages 34 and 43.

Operation Maths book: length pages 90 and 91.

If we were still at school we would all be very excited about getting our holidays on Friday and I would be very excited about getting to eat lots of chocolate!

Have a nice break over the next two weeks,

Thank you to everyone for collecting books from the school. If you didn't get a chance to call in I will post some work suggestions for after the Easter break to the website. Just to let you know that CJ Fallon have the reading scheme we use available online and the books can be accessed by parents and students. Also, I have listed websites on the sheets I left for collection that might be useful. I hope everyone is keeping well and that I'll see all my boys and girls again soon. Take care of yourselves, Anita.
Scroll down for activities for maths at home (and work suggestions up to the Easter Holiday).
Suggestions for maths activities at home
Cooking: help with measuring ingredients and cooking times.
Shop: using simple coins set up a home shop. For first class, try pricing items in multiples of e.g. 5, 10
Practice counting: count to a certain number and back start with 10 and try to move on to 15 and perhaps 20.
Treasure hunt: find the same amount of different items e.g. 3 shoes, 3 hats and 3 apples.
Size and shape: e.g. find me a red apple, a green car. Find me a circle (2D shapes for senior infants). Find me a cuboid, cube, sphere, cylinder (3D shapes for first).
Play with everyday items: e.g. shells, lego. Count them, compare them or make patterns with them.
Ordering: You could order by height, weight or size.
Patterns: design and colour your own pattern. Look for patterns around you e.g. on clothes, material, fences.
Build structures: with lego, building blocks, recycling materials.
Solve problems: give word problems e.g. we have 4 forks on six people for dinner. How many more forks do we need?
These activites cover a range of skills
Measuring
Counting
Addition and subtraction
Comparison
Patterns
Order
Problem solving
