A Message to Junior InfantsWhile our school remains closed your teacher will send work to do at home every week. This will help you to keep learning new things while you are at home. Ms Mulhare is looking forward to hearing about all the new things you've learned and what you've been getting up to when we get back to school!
As well as your school work, make sure to: help out at home be kind to your family keep active and moving sing songs be creative - make things from whatever you can listen to lots of stories and keep practicing reading your own wash your hands (I've added a link to our song) have fun & stay safe Looking forward to seeing you all soon, Ms Mulhare PS there are some links below that your parents might find useful! |
