Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend. Well done on all the fantastic work completed last week. For anyone who has not received their report, please send me an email mkirwanji@hotmail.com
Below is a daily outline of work for the week. Again this week we will focus on English and Maths. Do not put yourself under pressure to complete everything, do as much as you can each day. If you would like to do more than this, feel free to choose some activities from the optional work at the end of the page. Thank you.
Monday:

Wordbox 17a – last five words (at end of post)
English reading – Revision of sight vocabulary from Edco reading scheme (part two)
Junior Infant Sight Vocabulary ji
Jolly Phonics Tricky Words: you, your, come, some, said.
(These words cannot be sounded out, they will have to be learned)
The children have come across the word ‘said’ in their reader so they should already know this word. The other four words are new. Daily practice of these words – look and say each word until they are familiar with them and recognise them on sight. Writing or printing each word separately on paper will help when practising them.

Alternatively they may like to revise the newer concepts covered by completing pages in the Planet Maths ebook orally. The concept of combining is covered on pg.113-119 and money on pg. 122-128. Choose one activity daily.
