Dear Parents,

I hope you have had a great long weekend. If you have not sent in the form already, the school Tour to Stonehall Farm is on May 22^nd. Our Aistear Theme is moving from Hairdressers/Barbers to the Farm. If you have any items/clothes that would help us play then send them in and I will return them when we are finished this theme.

This week we will be finishing reading the alternative readers to “What a Mess” (Orange Book No 5). These books have no new words. We will be learning about Rathkeale and learning about the story of 9. On Thursday we will visit the local Library.

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

Please read the story together and then fill out the reading log. The reading log can be kept in the homework folder.

Aistear

The children will be given time to creatively play using a given theme. 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.
