Our private class Edmodo page will be much more active than this class blog. I will upload daily on Edmodo but uploads here will be less frequent. 

A big welcome to the 22 girls and 6 boys who started in Junior Infants Room 4. I already know that we're going to have so much fun together. 

A recording of our online graduation was emailed to you all this morning, along with your child's graduation certificate and his/ her booklist for the coming school year. 

I hope your child enjoyed watching the graduation recording. 

If you did not receive this email, please email ciara.hickey@millpresns.com and I will re-send it. 

Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable summer.

I will be using Edmodo in my class to keep everyone updated! I’ll use it to share important notes, assignments and more. It’s free and it takes under a minute to sign up! Learn how to get started below: 

​Instructions for Parents

Hi everyone, 

I hope you are all safe and all my boys and girls from Room 4 are adjusting to their new routine. 

If you would like some further support to help with your child's learning at home, please click on the recordings below which will show you how to access  some of the online books and resources we use in class. 

My role as a teacher is to support you during these worrying times, not add to the burden you're already carrying. Please exit this page immediately if you're feeling overwhelmed by the task of teaching your child at home.

​At the end of all this, you and your families mental health will be far more important than your child's academic skills. 

Take care!
Ciara

Last week, we learnt about the life cycle of the frog. Your child might remember that the frog goes through the following stages: 

1. Frogspawn
2. Tadpole
3. Froglet
4. Frog 

To help ease any anxiousness or boredom your child may be experiencing during this uncertain time, you may wish to allow your child the opportunity to engage in this yoga and make belief session ' Frank the Frog'. 

​
Stay safe!
Ciara 

Your child may wish to engage with the activities listed below: 

1. Read 'Peg the Hen'
2. Play 'en' word rhyming game
3. Play the 'et' word rhyming game

Dear Parent, 

In line with the Government ruling re Covid-19, all schools will remain closed until March 29th. Please continue to complete all homework for the children to complete each evening (Monday- Thursday) as clearly outlined in the March Homework Booklet in your child's folder.  (No PM+ books or Grow in Love)

We have been instructed to send home other work for the children to complete during the school closures. If you wish to continue to help your child's daily learning and progress, I recommend the following pages (pick 1 or 2 pages daily) to be completed by your child during the closure. 

Busy at Maths Large Book 
Pg 72/ 87/ 90/ 91/ 92/ 94 

Just Handwriting Large Book 
Pg 50/ 51/52/53/53/55 

Just Handwriting Small Book -see homework booklet 
Also please make sure pictures are drawn and coloured for pages 1- 22

Please only do the pages listed above- do not go ahead with work in the above books. 

I will also add some online games and stories to our class blog. Your child may wish to engage with these during the closure. 

Most importantly, here's hoping we all remain healthy during the closure.
