Senior Infants

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It is our last week of school and we are taking it easy with the workload again and revising the things we did.

We would love for you to ask your child what some of their favourite memories of Senior Infants are e.g. Aistear, Christmas Play, Lego workshop, P.E, Art etc. It would be so lovely to draw a picture or write some of those memories and send to us by Friday. As always, we would love to see any work you are proud of!

We have loved being your teachers this year and you have done great work. Remember to play outside and inside and have a well-earned break! Keep practicing your writing, sounds and tricky words at home and you will be super readers!

We hope you and your families have a lovely Summer and we wish you all the best in First Class.

Best Wishes

Mrs. Dixon, Ms. Walsh and Ms. Fitzgibbon

You might say things like
·       I wonder…
·       Do I understand that part of the story?
·       Could I explain it to somebody else?’

·       Handwriting Workbook: Open your book at home and do the next 1 or 2 pages. Remember your proper pencil grip.

- Where do you think this photo was taken?
-What do you think is happening in the photo?
