1st Class Home School – 20th April

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and that you and your family are safe and well. I’m thinking of you every day and I’m wondering what you’re getting up to with all this free time you have. I can’t wait to hear about all the adventures when we eventually get back to school.

Parents, feel free to contact me on sarah.culliton@stjosephsgorey.ie if you need any help/clarification or if you would like to send me your child’s completed work. Please note there is no pressure whatsoever to get schoolwork done. I understand that every household is just trying to get through these uncertain times. Do as much/little as you see fit for your child and we will work to fill in the gaps whenever we get back into the classroom.

We will continue from where we left off with the same core work to make use of the books you have at home;

  • Jolly Phonics spelling sheet
  • Sentences
  • Dolch Story
  • Sleep Tight & More
  • New Wave Mental Maths
  • Table Toppers
  • Spellings for me (for some)

Here is a new Choice Board with loads and loads of activities.And just in case you want/need more work, there are lots of nice activities in this KS1 Activity Book.
