Hi Senior Infants,
Hey Everyone! I hope everyone had a nice weekend! How did everyone get on with their work last week? I would love to hear how everyone has been getting on! I would like to send a big Get Well Soon message to two of our little friends from our class- Rose and Ronan- hope ye are both on the mend and are feeling better this week!
Well done everyone I know it isn’t easy doing school work at home but well done to everyone – and well done Mums and Dads and everyone else helping with the work!! I hope you are getting to enjoy some nice time at home with your families and are getting to enjoy some of the lovely sunshine we have been getting the last few weeks!
Below is a list of work for the week ahead just like last week- there is no pressure to complete it all. Please do what suits you and your family. It is broken down into daily activities but do it whenever suits yourselves!
The History Project activities are at the bottom of the page- just like last week you can pick and choose which ones you would like to do. This will make a very interesting read once it is completed. I would love to see some of the work from your History Project so feel free to send in a picture of your work if you can !
Myself and Audrey are missing each and everyone of ye so much, we are missing all the fun we have in the classroom! Audrey wanted me to give you this message:
Hi all you lovely kids!! I just wanted you to know that I’m thinking of you all and hope you’re all well and making the most of these sunny days…. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon, Audrey
P.S . Rose and Ronan – I want to send you get well soon wishes.
I wish everyone a lovely week ahead.
Thank you,
Múinteoir Danielle
