Work 2nd-5th June

Hello again,

I hope you are well and were out enjoying the sunshine this week and had a lovely bank holiday. We have decided as a school to wind down the work in June as the children have worked so hard and we would have had lots of fun filled days in school during this month. We will be focusing primarily on Maths and English. That’s not saying that you can’t do more if you wish. If you need anything else contact me on jamielee.gordon@stjosephsgorey.ie and I will be happy to help.

Thanks,

Ms. Gordon

Writing: The children learn and practice their new tricky word: goes. The children come up with sentences orally for this word and they write down at least three of them. 

Oral language: Use the following question cards to initiate conversation with the child and practice conversation skills such as eye contact, turn taking etc.

Maths: 

  • Show the child each of the coins for them to name them. Complete coin rubbings of each coin. You just place the coin under a sheet of paper, and the children use a pencil or crayon to colour over the coin. Do both sides of the coin.
  • Discuss how we can add money just like we can add numbers. eg 2 + 2 is 4 and 2c + 2c is 4c . Give them some of the brown coins for them to add. ( only adding up to 10)
