Dear Parents,

 

We have our parent teacher meeting this Thursday 27^th of November. 1.50 Until 5.30pm. If this does not suit just write a note on this homework page and I can arrange an alternative time or day. The photographer will be in school on this Tuesday so children can wear their uniforms that day. Our Aistear theme has moved on to the Hairdressers/Barber shop.

This week we will be reading some other Yellow readers. If you see one in the Homework folder please read it that night. They have just 8 pages but use the words that the children know already.

This week we will be learning the names of the children in the class, learning about shapes and patterns and talking about the Planets.

Thanks

Mr Gleeson

Reminders

PE

Our PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays so children can wear their tracksuits on those days.

Lunches

Children are now getting the school lunch. If they don’t eat something I will send that home so you will know. If you want to change your child’s lunch order then drop me a note in the homework folder. You can view your child’s current lunch order on our class website. It’s the link on the left hand side called “School Lunches”.

Questions

If there are any questions please ask. If you can’t make it into the school my email is vincent.gleeson@stannesps.ie for any questions. I usually check that every day.
