Dear Parents,

 

Our Musical Oliver is now just a day away. The children of Room 10 will be performing on Tuesday 24^th of March at 7pm. I will give the children an Easter Maths Test and a word check on the names of the children in the class (Red Words) this week. I hope you have a wonderful Easter and enjoy the Musical.

Aistear Theme – The Building Site will be changing to the Hairdressers after Easter.

This week we will be continuing to learn how to read the names of the children in the class, learn about reading the time and talk about Roy the Zebra www.roythezebra.com

We will not have any homework on Thursday.

Thanks

Mr Gleeson

Reminders

Homework

On Mondays I will give you a note in the homework folder with the homework for the week. It will also let you know some of the things we are doing in class. Homework will usually tie into what we are doing in class that week.

Readers

I will give out 2 readers per week. Please read the story together on both nights, and then fill out the reading log on the second night. The reading log can be kept in the homework folder.

Aistear

The children will be given time to creatively play using a given theme. Our first theme is the “The Building Site”. If you have some items at home that would help us play please send them in. We will return them in a few weeks when we move on to another theme.

PE

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

Lunches

If children 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.
