25th April – Senior Infants

Posted on by

Hello Senior Infants,

I hope you and your families are continuing to keep well and safe during this time. The weather is beautiful. I hope you all got a chance to go out and get some fresh air and enjoy the sunshine! I have been going on lots of walks and eating lots of ice-cream. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was delighted this week to speak to your parents and to speak to some of you. It was lovely to hear all the great and exciting things you are all doing with your families.

This week, Mr. Smyth and Mr. Donnelly have been busy setting our class up on Seesaw. I am very excited to start using Seesaw to see how you are all doing. I would be delighted if you could upload some of the activities you are doing at home.

Each week, activities will be uploaded to the school website for Senior Infants.

This week, I have been putting together a variety of activities that your child may have-a-go at if it suits. Here is a link to the Activities.

Ms Condron/Ms Hanlon have lovely activities for all EAL children from Senior Infants available HERE.

Hello again,

I really enjoyed speaking to some of you during the week and am glad to hear you are keeping well and holding strong! Mr Donnelly has been working very hard setting up SeeSaw and I look forward to communicating with you. I will continue to upload work each week onto the website. Feel free to upload any work you do onto SeeSaw. I look forward to seeing all your fantastic work. Don’t forget to remind your parents that they must send an e-mail back to Mr Donnelly saying it is okay for you to use SeeSaw.

Do you know what my garden is full of? Yes, you guessed it – dandelions! These weeds grow everywhere! However, as a very knowledgeable St Gabriel’s teacher told me, dandelions are the first food for bees when no other flower is in bloom. Did you know that?       Hooray to Dandelions!

or view them below

You can revise or learn new words as Gaeilge (Irish) on duolingo

Do you recall how much we loved doing our counting? Well, if you go to Ms Whyte’s post you’ll find some more counting and fun activities there.

The RTÉ School Hub will teach specific home school lessons to 3rd and 4th class Monday to Friday this week. Tune in at 11AM on RTE2.

Catch up on any of Múniteoir John’s fantastic lessons here.  For example you can learn how to draw like Keith Haring or learn all about vibrations in this music lesson.

Here is one of my favourite songs ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong. Do you like it? Now watch him perform it live. I would like you to act out of all the things that are beautiful to you and have a family member guess what they are. Now, draw a picture of what you see!

Would you rather…

be 3 feet tall or 8 feet tall?

eat rotten cheese or rotten eggs?

have a helper robot or a helper monkey?

Emma, Ashley and I are missing you all very much. Have a lovely week with your family. Continue to help your siblings and the adults in the house.

Slán,

Ms O’Dowd
