Hey everyone !!
Big Hi to Kate, Kayleigh, Leah, Maci, Carragh, Jade, Tatum, Sophie, Aoibheann, Leona, Darren, Harry, Adam, Ryan, Paudie, Conor, Tommy & Ben & Conn in ACB!!!
Welcome back to another week of home schooling!!!! Well!! Summer has well & truly arrived!! Wasn't the weather fabulous this week, especially this bank holiday weekend!! I hope ye have all been out splashing in your paddling pools, having water-gun or water balloon fights (soakings!!) with your families, making water slides or using water slides & eating tasty outdoor BBQ food!!! Yummy!!!!
Now that Summer has brought such beautiful warm Summer sunshine, please remember to put on sunscreen every morning, top up during the day, wear a sunhat with a peak & drink plenty of cold fluids.
The new month of June (Meitheamh) brings with it 2 more birthdays to celebrate in Senior Infants, Tatum on this Friday June 5th & Adam the following Mon June 8th.
Big Happy Birthday to Tatum on Friday June 5th. Hope you have a super day Tatum full of surprises & fun. A big 7 years old!!
This week & for the next 3 weeks going forward, the weekly suggested school work will be presented in a one page choice board. This week we are looking at the theme of water. On the choice board are 24 ideas to choose from, ranging from Literacy ideas, some practical maths, active suggestions, art & craft ideas, some hands on practical science experiments as well as the next SPHE lesson & some Gaeilge links. There are ideas here to suit everyone we hope. Ms Keogh, Ms Hannigan & I had a zoom meeting to put in place some ideas we hope ye will like.
I hope you all got a nice surprise when you saw the t-shirt & fabric markers this week. Usually we would be designing our own school tour t-shirts around this time in anticipation of a super day out! This year it will take a different form....next week we will be taking a virtual school tour somewhere on our choice board. I would love if you could design your own t-shirts using the 3 fabric markers you got. Remember to put your name on the front in big bubble writing & Summer 2020 on the back also in bubble writing. Fill your white t-shirts with as many pictures as you can about Summer or where you would like to go on school tour.
Here are my girls Summer t-shirts which they designed this week also. Have fun everyone !!! Please send me in your t-shirt picture to ballymittyteachers@gmail.com
& I will pop it up on our class blog. Thank you!!!
