Senior Infants Easter Activities

6/4/20-17/4/20

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope you and your families are all keeping well.

As it is the Easter period, I have put together some fun Easter related activities

for anyone who may want to engage with them. This Easter work is not compulsory.

It is optional. Pick and choose from it. This work is set out for a two week period

(see dates above). The website will be updated with class work again on Monday the

20th of April.

I have included some Easter scavenger clues for anyone who may be having an

Easter egg hunt. Some clues are suitable for use indoors and others for outdoors.

Again, please tell your child I was asking for them and I’m looking forward to seeing

them! I hope they have an enjoyable Easter.

Any links I have provided below can be opened by right clicking on them.

If you have any queries please email me at cobrienlisronaghns@gmail.com

Have a lovely Easter everyone!

Keep Safe and keep social distancing,

Kindest Regards,

Catherine O’Brien

English:

Listen to ‘The Story of the Easter Bunny’ on YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP__j1Fviaw . Can you predict what the Easter Bunny

will do? Where do you predict the Easter Bunny lives? What was your favourite part of the

story? Why? Does this story remind you of any other Easter stories you know? Have you

made any connections with the story?

Rhyme: Practise saying the rhyme ‘Eggs’ (attached further down). Get your child to

cut out the rhyme and glue it into their rhyme copy. Draw some eggs and chicks on

that page in your Rhyme copy.

P.E:

Go on an Easter egg scavenger hunt in your house or garden. I have attached

some indoor and outdoor Easter egg hunt clues below.

Play the game ‘Bunny, Bunny, Easter Bunny’. This game follows the same rules as

‘Duck, Duck, Goose’ just using the words ‘Bunny, Bunny, Easter Bunny’ instead.

Art: (Just ideas to pick and choose from).

Draw and colour/paint Easter eggs of all sizes and colours. Can you use different

designs? E.g. a spotty egg, an egg with stripes, an egg with a bow etc. (I’ve

attached a blank template of an egg, if you want to use it).
