Homework 27/11/17

Hi Everyone, 

Here is the homework for the week starting 27th of November: 

1. Tricky Words: other, were, because, want, saw - Please practice all of these words during the week. 

2. Decodable readers ( See note below) 

3. Sound Booklet: Our sound this week is 'ng'. Please complete Page 11 in the booklet.

4. Handwriting Copy: Page 10 this week. 
Please recite the formation rhymes as the children write the letters. 

Please do not go ahead in the written homework.

You can decide how much or little you do on each evening but I would suggest to practice their reading every night.

Readers
- From now until Christmas the children will be reading short graded books during the week. - The readers range from easy to difficult so don't worry if your child finds a book a little tricky. 
- Children will get each reader for 2 or 4 nights depending on if they are finding the book a little tricky.  
- Encourage your child to sound out the words they don't know, all words are either tricky words or sound out words. 
- Encourage them to read clearly and loudly with good pace. 
- If your child is finding the reading too tricky, please let me know. 
- If your child is finding the reading very easy then practice their comprehension skills by asking questions about the story - Who? / What? / Why? / Where? / When? / How? / What if? / What do you think?/ What are your predictions? / If you were...? / What do you think happened after the story?
- Any other issues please let me know

Some important information!

Hello everyone, Just a few reminders and notices for you all. On Monday morning the Junior Infants will start lining up at the numbers '1' or '2' in the basketball court. We will come out and collect the class when the bell goes at 8.30. We would ask the parents not to come in with the children from Monday onwards as there are a lot of children and teachers making their way to their own classrooms. This will also help to establish a classroom routine and get the children used to coming in without their parents.  The children will also be starting a longer day from Monday, so they will finish at 1.20 each afternoon.  Some parents received Glanmore food menus to avail of the school lunches for the children. If you could please complete these and return them by Wednesday, that would be great! If you didn't get a form today, let us know and we will give one to you on Monday.  Lastly, could you please give your child a baby photo of themselves to bri
