Ms Leonard’s Work

Dear Parents / Guardians,

I hope you and your families are all keeping well in these strange times. The following are activities that your child may have-a-go at if it suits you and your circumstances. Any work suggested is practice and revision of skills and knowledge already introduced and covered in school. At this moment, I will not be posting new work. Please do not feel obliged to complete this work. These activities will simply provide opportunities for your child to develop their skills and to become more proficient and confident in doing them. Your child will not miss out on new areas of work or be behind his/her classmates if they do not take part in these activities. I’m very confident that your child has been practicing and developing a great variety of useful skills through everyday activities since we have been off school. Please do not put yourselves under unnecessary pressure. These are exceptional times we are experiencing.  I have included a few links to some websites that may be useful to support their learning. Please note: As always, for internet based activities please ensure your children are supervised while accessing the internet.

Best wishes to you all,

Sinéad Leonard.

Junior and Senior Infants Library

Junior and Senior Infants have started visiting the school library. It has been fantastic to have so many parents come in to help the children choose a book to take home.

While visiting the school library, the children are learning through the experience how a library works – how to borrow and return books and how to use their library cards.

The children are so enthusiastic about the visits to the library. They love talking about their books. Reading for fun is so important in helping the children develop a good attitude and love of reading, and there are so many lovely books to choose from in the school library.

Big thanks to everyone involved for making it such a success already.
