Class: Senior Infants Room 4 Week beginning: 5th May 2020

Note from teacher:

Hello all,

I hope that you are all keeping well and doing your best to keep busy. I hope you are all helping out at home and keeping your

bedroom and toys all nice and tidy.

It is lovely to see so many of you engaging with the work that is set for the week and that you are still managing to keep in

touch with your school-work while also learning how to develop a whole new set of skills including, how to timetable your day,

enjoy exercise at a 2km limit, play games, help out at home and stay in touch remotely with your school friends. Skills for life

without a doubt!

Please find a list of activities and exercises for the week ahead and feel free to choose the activities that are manageable

for you and your families. I hope you enjoy doing them!

I would like to thank all the parents and guardians for all the support you have given your children at home. It is not an easy

task to balance all the tasks you now have to complete at home as well as trying to keep healthy in both mind and body.

Take care and keep safe

Parent: May I take your order?

Child: I would like …

Parent: Of course. Can I bring you something to drink?
