Hello Junior Infants,
Well done everybody. You have been working so hard and we have been delighted to see and hear all you have been doing this week. You have been completing lots of maths activities on Seesaw as well as practising your phonics and nursery rhymes. We are delighted to see lots of photographs of you dressing for the weather and enjoying some outdoor activities and getting some exercise. Many of you have been showing us your artistic talents by creating and making lots of interesting things too.
Keep up the great work Junior Infants.
From Ms. Leonard and Ms. Flahive.
Phonics Practise
- The phonics/ sounds we will work on this week are to be found in the table below. Please note, as your child will surely tell you, that even though ‘c’ and ‘k’ are different letters, we focus on the same sound that they make (‘c’ as in ‘clicking castanets’).
- Below you will find some suggestions of websites, videos and activities to support this week’s phonics practise.
- Please continue to use the rainbow-writing pages, and pencil-writing pages that were supplied in your homework packs to practise letter formation.
