Junior Infants
Homework begins on September 12th!
Please sign the homework journal every evening after your child completes his homework.
Phonics: We will learn a new sound every Monday and Wednesday. The main focus is on the sound, not the letter name. We have a jolly phonics song and action to accompany each sound. The song for each sound is available on YouTube. Simply enter the letter e.g. ‘s jolly phonics ‘ and you will find the clip.
Your child will have a wallet for their sounds flashcards. Please ensure this wallet is in their school bag at all times as we will be using the flashcards for games/ activities in class. Please encourage your child to close their wallet after use. At home, use these flashcards to practise their sounds e.g. lay the sounds on the table and ask your child to show you a particular sound/ point to a sound and you child must tell you the sound.
Phonics Booklet: Your child will have work in their phonics booklet every Monday and Wednesday ( linked with new sound of that day). Your child will draw four pictures of words that begin with that particular sound while you label each picture when he tells you what he has drawn. If time allows, your child will colour the pictures.
Maths: Every Tuesday, your child will have work to complete in their Busy at Maths book.
Religion: Every Thursday, your child will have work to complete in their Grow in Love book.
Word Lists: In a few weeks, your child will start learning to read sight words for our first reading book. Your child will have a wallet for their word flashcards. Please ensure this wallet is in their school bag at all times as we will be using the flashcards for games/ activities in class. Please encourage your child to close their wallet after use. At home, use these flashcards to practice their words e.g. lay the words on the table and ask your child to show you a particular word/ point to a word and you child must tell you the sound.
