Visiting the fish and enjoying the sunshine in Bray!

The children went on their school tour to Sealife in Bray yesterday and after properly chatting to them today they all seemed to have loved it! Some people liked the seahorses, others were so excited to see the 'real' Nemo and Dory fish and one child said they thought the sting ray's smiley face was funny. A lot of children thought the sharks were very cool and a couple of children said the bus was their favourite!

They were given a lot of information about the different types of sea life in the aquarium but they could remember a huge amount of it, which is great!

I was very proud of the children on their trip because they did good listening and stayed together in their pairs, well done!

'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 ☺
