Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THIS WEEK’S WORK. As always, please treat this as a menu and only do what works for you and your child.

It was so lovely to see the faces of those who could join the video call on Thursday! I know not everyone could make it but I will be doing another call at the same time this week, 10am on Thursday. I’ll send the login details by email later in the week and will also post them on Seesaw.

For those of you on Seesaw, I will keep posting activities throughout the week so please keep checking in. This also works like a menu so your child can do the activities that suit. The activities are much the same as the activities here but there are more ways for the children to communicate easily with me and to share their work. Thanks to all those who have already taken part. It is so lovely to see the responses from the kids! Anyone not on Seesaw and who wants to join, please send me an email and I’ll send you the login details for your child.

As this week is #ActiveHomeWeek, I will be including some physical activities for each day this week. These activities could be done or any other physical activity your child enjoys! (Click here for more info.)

For those of you looking for ways to give your children independent reading time, I highly recommend the online program ‘READING EGGS‘ which is is an online program with games, activities and online books matched to your child’s reading level. They are offering a free trial at the moment. We have also done this list of suggestions for sourcing online reading material: http://www.scmj.ie/online-books-for-reading-at-home/.

Wishing you and your families well. Looking forward to seeing some of the children again this week and to seeing more of the great work they are doing at home. As always, if you need any support or your child would like to send me some work, please get in touch. I’d love to hear from them!
