Reading

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to listen to the children read as I was out of class all day. I will change books tomorrow and then collect all books for the last time on Tuesday next week. Thanks in advance.

Trips and Visitors

Over the last few weeks we have gone on our school trip to Bray, celebrated Biodiversity Week with a trip to the park, went on a treasure hunt and had a teddy's bear picnic. As part of our theme - Emergency Services we had a doctor, Garda and a member of the RNLI pay us a visit. Have a look at what we have been up to.

Homework 6th June

There will be no written homework for the rest of the month. I will continue to hear children read and I will change books for the next two weeks.

We are learning about money this week so please ask your child to help you to pay for something using small change when purchasing one item over the week.

Thanks!

Teddy's Bear Picnic

Please send you child in with a teddy bear and one treat. If the weather is not suitable we will stay in the classroom.

Thanks

Homework 22nd May

Jolly Phonics reader: Everyone is making great progress with the readers! Please keep completing the reading logs.

Reading booklet and reading comprehension: 'School' story. Please ensure your child writes the answers themselves. Also, encourage your child to write full sentences for their answer. Eg. for the question - "What colour is the cake?" please write "The cake is pink " rather than just the word "pink". Thanks!

Maths sheet: Finding amounts of money. Page 36 Busy at Maths Home link book. If you are in the shops this week please make an effort to pay in cash and ask your child to pick out the coins that you will be using. 

Assembly

We have our class assembly tomorrow. If your child has a line please go over it with them. They do not need to know it off by heart. If your child has an African necklace make sure they wear it into school tomorrow. Thanks

Homework 15th May

Jolly Phonics reader: Please ensure you sign when your child is finished with their book. Most children have progressed one level. If possible I would like each child to start the next level by June. 

Reading booklet and reading comprehension: 'Lucy's Birthday' story. Please ensure your child writes the answers themselves. Also, encourage your child to write full sentences for their answer. Eg. for the question - "What colour is the cake?" please write "The cake is pink." rather than just the word "pink". Thanks!

Maths sheet: Missing addends. This concept can be difficult for the children, we have been learning to do this with the number line. 

Bullying Sheet: Please have a chat with your child about the sheet which we started today. Talk to your child about the importance of standing up to any bullies they might see in the yard or in the classroom. We have had numerous discussions about saying 'no' to children who are being unkind to us. Thanks!
