Mrs. Sinnott’s Senior Infants Work May 5th to 8th

Hi to all my Senior Infants!

I hope you are all keeping well and safe! Below is some work for you to complete this week. As Senior Infants do not have their workbooks home with them, any work that they complete can be written into a copy or onto a sheet and put into their ‘Homework Folders’ for me to correct. Please do not feel under any pressure to complete the work below. These are unprecedented times and we are all trying our best. If you need to contact me, you can email me at mrs.sinnottstjosephs@gmail.com. Feel free to email me photos of the children’s work also! 🙂

Note regarding our School Tour:

As our school is now closed until September, the Senior Infants school tour to the Chocolate Garden will obviously not be taking place. I have emailed the Chocolate Garden in relation to the deposit we paid earlier this year to secure our tour date so hopefully we can return the full amount that each of you have paid in the new school year. I will be thinking of all our Senior Infants on May 15th and all the fun we would have had but we will make up for it next year! 🙂

Each day try to do a little bit of each subject- every little bit counts! If you have any worries or concerns, you can email me at mrs.sinnottstjosephs@gmail.com. Feel free to send me photos of any work that the children complete. I would love to see how everyone is getting on!

I am so disappointed that I will not see my Senior Infants again this school year. I had lots of lovely things planned for Term 3 but we will make up for it next year! 🙂

Stay Safe!
