Hello boys and girls in Junior Infants,
I hope you’ve had a lovely week. I’ve been really enjoying chatting to you and your parents this week on the phone. I am so impressed with how well you all speak on the phone. You use lovely speaking voices and are all so polite. You’re also great at taking turns to listen and speak! I still have a few phone-calls to make today, so if I wasn’t chatting to you yet, you might hear from me later. I’m delighted to hear all the wonderful activities you have been doing. Lots of you have been enjoying nature, getting lots of exercise, using your imaginations and getting very creative.
I’m looking forward to having a go on Seesaw too. I am still learning how to use it so I plan to take it very slowly. We might just try one or two activities next week. I haven’t organised your special codes yet so we won’t worry about Seesaw until next week.
Well done boys and girls for being so good at home with your families. You are superstars!
Ashley and Emma said to say hello. They miss you all too!
