Junior Infants: 18th May

May 16, 2020 Junior Infants

Dear parents,

We hope you and your children enjoyed last week’s activities. We have put together a new set of work for the coming week. As always, please just do what is manageable for your household and your child. If you have any questions about the work, please do not hesitate to contact us by email – juniorinfantwork@scoil-bhride.com

We are so pleased with the huge amount of work that is being done at home during this time. We completely understand how stressful it is but from what we have seen from the work that has been sent in, you and your child are doing a fantastic job!!

Please let the children know we really miss them and we are thinking of them a lot.

Kind regards,

Junior Infants teachers.

P.E.

You can continue to do PE with Joe Wicks if you like. It is every morning from Monday-Friday at 9.00am. If the weather is nice why don’t you go outside and play with a ball. You could practise kicking it/ throwing it/ bouncing it etc. You could also go outside and play games like hide and seek/tag/ flush the loo etc.

Try these brain breaks too!
