First week in October

This week we start a new theme for this fortnight

- My School.

We will be learning all about school life here in Belmayne ETNS and who the other teachers and staff are.

We will also be taking a closer look at the school building and the materials it is made from.

As we have lots of friends in school we will also be starting our SPHE programme called 'You can Do It' . We will send home more information about this as we work through the programme. We are starting with the lessons about 'Getting Along'

In phonics this week we will learn two new sounds. Below are the sounds and actions for both.

We are also learning the tricky word -

she

Comments

'a, a, ants on my arm!'

Today we learned all about the sound... Our rhyme for this sound goes like this - 'Curve around, up like a helicopter, bump, back down and kick.' We made sure to check our classroom for things beginning with the 'a' sound so you could have a look around and see if you can spot anything beginning with 'a' outside school! Here is the song for this sound. We have also been practicing our tricky word, 'the', and trying to find it hiding in different places around the classroom!

Weekly homework 19th of February

Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a lovely mid term break! We had a student teacher, Conor, start with us today and he will be teaching the class for four weeks. The children are all very excited! Feel free to come to me if you have any questions etc as I will still be in the classroom during this period. Here is the homework for the week: 1. Tricky Words Revision of the tricky words (3 from the old list and 3 from the new list) ' the ', ' all ', ' no ', ' old ', ' many ' and ' should '. 2: Reading The children have been given new readers in their folders. Once your child gets a new book, please fill in the date they received the book and sign the sheet if you feel your child has completed the book to the best of their ability. When completing this at home, please focus on fluency, pacing, good expression and a good understanding of the book they are reading. As always, if you have any questions about this please ...

A huge thank you and happy summer!

Hey everyone, I just want to say thank you so much for such a wonderful two years. The children are a credit to all the parents and each child should be very proud of themselves because they have come so far since starting in Junior Infants two years ago. They are all so unique and full of personality and have given me so much happiness and laughs every day. I'll miss them hugely but I know they will love the new challenges and exciting changes in First Class. Always feel free to pop into me whenever you're passing and good luck in the future! Jessica ☺
