Mrs. Sinnott’s Work for May 18th – 22nd

Work for May 18th to 22nd

Hello to all my Senior Infants!

I hope you are all keeping well! I am so impressed with all the photos of your written work, drawings etc that I have received this week. Keep up the great work.! 🙂 If you would like to email photos of completed work, drawings etc or ask me any questions regarding the homework, you can email me at mrs.sinnottstjosephs@gmail.com

Please do not worry if you are finding it hard to access the books online, as long as you do a little bit of numeracy and literacy everyday that’s the most important thing. A possible daily routine could be as follows:

  1. 15 mins of reading.
  2. 15 mins of a written activity such as ‘Our News’, sentence work, dictation, revising the Jolly Phonics sounds etc. This written activity can be based on any subject.
  3. 15 mins of Maths whether it be oral or written work such as addition, subtraction, money, time, shapes etc
  4. 15 mins of PE such as ‘GoNoodle’ or ‘Cosmic Kids’
  5. 15 mins of SESE- for example: learning about different countries, different animal habitats, the life cycle of plants, famous Irish people, famous Irish monuments such Newgrange etc
  6. 15  mins of SPHE- for example: good hygiene, healthy eating, anti- bullying, the importance of friends etc
  7. 15 mins of Art- draw what you see, paint pictures of what ‘Summer means to me’ etc
  8. 15 mins of online numeracy or literacy games on websites such as ‘Topmarks’
  9. 15 mins of Gaeilge such as practising vocab, singing an Irish song or watching an Irish cartoon on the RTE player or TG4 website,

The main thing to remember is that each child is different and whether they complete 15 mins of learning per day or 2 hours per day, everyone is trying their best. We will be there to help and support your child when we return to school! 🙂 The ‘Twinkl’ website has some great school closure packs that cover a variety of subjects and topics if you would like to print these off. Type’ Senior Infants School Closure Pack’ into the Twinkl search bar and you will a variety of worksheets etc available to download and print.
