Welcome back! Here's our homework and new Aistear topic

Welcome back! Here's our homework and new Aistear topic - The Train Station

Welcome back to the second half of Term 1, it sounds like the children had a lovely mid-term break and are ready to learn loads of new things!

The tricky word this week is 'be', can you think of any sentences with this word in it?

The first sound we are learning about this week is:

The formation rhyme for this sound goes like this:

'Dive down, bump the line, swim back up and over.'

Have a look at some things that start with this sound!

Here is the song for the sound 'r'

Later on in the week we will learn all about the sound

The formation rhyme for this sound is:

'Dive down, swim up and over, back down, bump, swim up and over, back down and kick.'

Here is the song for 'm':

We will be learning all about transport for the next two weeks and our new Aistear topic is 'The Train Station'. Some of the words we will be learning are: train station, train driver, schedule, ticket master, platform, single ticket, return ticket and carriage.

The children will be learning all about the different types of transport so you can take a look at some of these types of transport and chat about what they could be used for!

You can also have a listen to some nice songs about transport and the story of the 'Little Engine That Could'

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!

Christmas Play Music

Christmas Play Music Hi everyone, Here are the songs we need to learn for our Christmas show. We need costumes for elves, mice, cat, dog, fairy, doll, teddy, superhero, Santa and Mrs Santa. We can do a lot with face paint and coloured clothes but if anyone has anything that might suit these characters, please let us know! Twas the Night Before Christmas Poem ‘Twas the night before Christmas And all through the house Not a creature was stirring Not even a mouse. The stockings were hung By the chimney with care In the hopes that St Nicholas Soon would be there. But the family were sick They were struck down with flu And Christmas was cancelled What else could they do? But Mrs Saint Nick had other ideas And quickly she gathered her team They created Christmas all through the house As though it took place in a dream. So in came St Nicholas Our Santa by name And Christmas was ready So that's why he came....

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 ☺
