School Closure May 5th-8th

Junior Infants 2020

Below is a list of work following roughly the same timetable as
we would in school. This is given as a guide and by no means is it
expected that all of it is to be completed. Feel free to pick
what you would like from the day and send it back for
correction, if you wish. It is the same below work that I will
copy into each day on Aladdin. Please only complete what you
can, it does not all have to be done and I know some days can
be better than others!!

Some Extra Work only if you need/want it for your child:

 Complete as much of the Just Handwriting little book as you please.

 Practice writing numbers 1-5. The formation of them should be correct.

 Counting to and from 10.

 Making simple additions e.g. 1+1=2 ( Only numbers that add up to 5).
  Write lots of independent stories/news and send me on a picture- I would love to read
some.

 Practice letter formation of the whole alphabet (lower case and capitals)

 Write sentences using your tricky words.

 Anyone who has no books home -if they were not in the last day should just continue
what they can. Practice independent writing, words, tricky words and reading. Some
various maths activities too.

If you have any questions about any of the above or if there is anything else you need for
completing work, please let me know. I have also got a few bits up on the school website and will
continue to pop some things up there. Follow this link to get to the page
