Dear Parents and children
I hope you are all keeping well. We have come to the end of the school year. This is our final week’s work as we will be getting our holidays on Monday 22nd June.
It has been a strange and difficult last term for us all and I would like to say well done to everyone for keeping the routine going and supporting your child’s education at home. We didn’t think the school closure would last so long. Hopefully normality will return when we start the new school year.
The final week’s work is mainly finishing books and doing some revision tasks. Try to do as much as you can in this final week of work.
Please continue to encourage your child to read, and read as often as possible to them during the Summer.
We would like to collect any Paired Reading books and class Reader “Wow” please, so we can have them ready for the next class in September. It would be great if you could drop the book(s) to the school on Saturday 20th June between 10.30 and 12.30. A teacher will be there to collect them from you.
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on [email protected].
Wishing you all the best for the Summer holidays and most importantly stay safe.
Kind regards
Nora Perkins

Dear Parents and children
I hope you are all keeping well, and you enjoyed the beautiful weather. I know it must be difficult to get your child to concentrate during this lovely weather but we are very close to the Summer holidays so try to keep the routine going for the last 2 weeks.
As the summer is here and we spend more time at the beach it is important that your child knows some basic water safety skills.
Visit www.teachpaws.ie and help your child learn these skills, which will keep them safe during the Summer months.
Here is this week’s work. As always do not feel under pressure to complete all of it.
Please continue to send in any photos, drawings, art or writing to the website.
Continue to encourage your child to read , and read as often as possible to them.
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on [email protected].
Wishing you all the best and stay safe.
Kind regards
Nora Perkins

Dear Parents and children
I hope you are all keeping well and safe at home. These are certainly difficult and challenging times for us all especially now we know that schools won’t re-open until September. As the days get longer and the weather improves I know it will be hard to keep your child on task to complete the work set for them.
I know that each child is different and will progress through the work at their own pace. The list of suggested work is not meant to cause stress or pressure. Only do what you can. Remember English and Mathematical activities can be done in practical ways e.g. reading recipes/instructions, writing lists, or clues for a game, counting items for dinner, playing shop etc. I will include a link at the end of this letter for you to check out. It has suggestions for some nice activities for you to do with your child. As always encourage your child to read lots and read as often as possible to them. You can do this outside when the weather permits!
I would encourage you to send a photo, a drawing or a piece of writing your child has done to the teacher’s email address. I am sure your child would love to see something they have done up on the school website.
I am aware that circumstances vary from household to household ,so it is important to stay positive and stay safe in these times.
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on [email protected].
Wishing you all the best and stay safe.
Kind regards
Nora Perkins

Dear Parents
I hope this letter finds you all safe and well and that you managed to enjoy the Easter break despite the restrictions. I also hope everybody got plenty of Easter Eggs!
It’s back to school work now and like before the holidays I have provided a list of activities for your child to do each day. I know everybody’s circumstances are different so you know how much you can do with your child.
As I said in my previous letter it is very important for them to have a daily routine and hopefully you can factor the school work into this routine. Continue to read to your child as often as possible and encourage them to read a wide variety of books also. Anything you do will help your child in these difficult times.
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on [email protected].
Wishing you all the best and stay safe.
Kind regards
Nora Perkins

Dear Parents
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. I know this is a difficult time for you all and I am aware that you want to continue to support your child with their education. On the next few pages are lists of suggested work you could do with your child next week. I understand that everyone’s circumstances are different (time-wise and access to the internet) so help your child to complete as many activities as you can. It is important to complete activities in the workbooks first. All other work should be written into their copies or on sheets of paper which could be stored in a folder for me to look at when next we meet. You may need to buy some copies and a folder/scrapbook.
Some of their work involves logging onto some websites. Hopefully you will be able to do that but I understand if that is not possible.
The websites you will need to access the most are
• folens.ie ( for English, Maths and SESE).
• fallons.ie ( for English)
(both websites are offering free access to parents at the moment)
Other websites that are useful are
• operation maths edco online- click on your class for Maths and English activities
• www.twinkl.ie It is offering free subscription to parents in light of the school closure. This is a great website for extra worksheets and art/craft activities if you have access to a printer. To sign up use the code IRLTWINKLHELPS:https://www.twinkl.ie/offer

- Music- www.singup.org/home-schooling to learn new songs.
It is important to establish a daily routine for your child regarding their school work .Breaks need to be factored in between written activities so it is important to encourage your child to do lots of other activities which are not school work based .
Ongoing activities which you can include each day.
• Kicking/throwing/rolling a ball
• Hopscotch
• Twister (if you have it)
• Play Simon Says
• Read to your child and ask them questions about the books. Encourage your child to read a variety of books

• dot-to-dots, mazes, stencils
• nature walks
I know it will be hard to juggle everything during these difficult weeks but doing some school work each day and keeping a routine while having time to play in and outdoors will be very important for your child. If you have any questions regarding any of the work please contact me using the email [email protected]
Kind regards and happy Easter
