Ms. Gordon’s Junior Infant Work 5th – 8th May

Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping safe and well.
Please find below a list of work for the week ahead. Work will be uploaded on a weekly basis from now on. As stated before this work is a general guideline so please adapt it to suit your child and do not feel under pressure to get it all completed just do what you can.

It was great hearing from some of you over the past couple of weeks, keep up the great work.

If you have any questions or issues please contact me on the following email address: cgordonstjosephs@gmail.com.  I would love to see some more pictures of your child’s work 🙂

Take care,
Ms. Gordon

English

Sounds

  • Jolly Phonic sound ‘ou’ – sing the song, say the sound, do the action. Draw pictures of words containing the ‘ou’ sound e.g. mouth, mouse, house, cloud. If capable, write the words under the pictures
  • Continue to revise all sounds completed to date

  • Read book 10 again, independetly this time ( log onto www.edcolearning.ie , username: primaryedcobooks, password: edco2020, click on “Big Box Stories – “My Little Box”, The Spaceship page 91)
  • Continue to read books regularly to your child at home

Tricky Words

  • New tricky words ‘only’ and ‘old’- Write out these tricky words three times. Put it into a sentence orally
  • Revise all tricky words (remember if your child is finding the tricky words hard to remember, just focus on the old ones before moving on)

Handwriting

  • Practise writing your name regularly and neatly
  • Handwriting booklet: Letters m and h
    Letter m (Go down, hit the ground then get ready for bumps. Little m is easy to write, just add two humps)
    Letter h (First start high, go down and take a jump. Little h has a little hump)

Links for more activities on the letter ‘m’ (optional)

Links for more activities on the letter ‘h’ (optional)

Dictaction

  • Many English words are phonically regular, which means children do not have to learn how to spell them by heart; they can write these words by themselves as long as they can hear the sounds in them. Please help your child practise these skills. Call out these 5 regular words provided and ask your child to write them (do not show them the words); ten, lip, pet, cut, six. Remind them to ‘stretch out’ the words to help them to identify the individual sounds

Maths

  • Please complete the following pages (use the CJ Fallon website for the online work)
  • Interactively online pages 99, 100, 101 – Numeral 0 (Zero Rhyme: Around and around and around we go, now we have the number zero)
  • Busy at Maths home/school links pages 29 & 30 (as seen below)

  • Use playdough to make the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and place them in the correct order. Find the numeral zero in the environment around them e.g.on calendars, doors, streets, price on items, car registration plates, toys, etc
  • Continue to practise writing numbers 0-5 correctly
  • Continue to practise counting skills, counting from 0 – 10 forwards and backwards (or higher if capable)
