Ms. Gordon’s Junior Infant Work 2nd – 5th June

Hello everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed the sunshine over the weekend. Please find below work for the next four days. As we are now into June, as a school we have decided we will now just be focusing on English and Maths. I have left a sample timetable as usual if you wish to follow it. If you have any questions or would like to send me work you can contact me on the following email address; cgordonstjosephs@gmail.com

Take Care,
Ms. Gordon

Maths

Introducing Money: 1c, 2c, 5c coins. Give the children a selection of 1c, 2c and 5c coins and get them to sort them into groups. If you don’t have coins at home use this link to get the coin template below https://my.cjfallon.ie/preview/index/8169/364

Give children 2/3 coins and get them to figure out how much money they have. The children can often find this concept difficult as they count the number of coins they have rather than the value of each coin
Please complete the following pages: Busy at Maths book pages 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120
