How you can help at home:
I will not be giving formal homework for another few weeks - I feel the day is long enough at the moment and the children are tired. But there are some things you can be doing at home to help your child:

Practice writing their name using a capital at the start and lower case letters everywhere else
Ask them what sounds the letters c, a and d make and find things beginning with those sounds. Practice forming the letters in their sound copies
Find things that are blue, red, green and yellow.
Match items that are the same/ same colour/ same size
Say the nursery rhymes Twinkle Twinkle, Humpty Dumpty and Jack and Jill with your child.
Teach them the correct crayon grip and correct it everytime you see them holding the wrong way.

Some of the things we will be learning over the next 2 weeks:

Letters - d (Dippy Duck) and h(Harry Hatman). Revision of c and a.
Sight Words - Danny, Zeb, Mum, and.
Colours - green and yellow
Maths - matching by size and by colour. Sorting objects by colour and type.
Gaeilge - "Is mise",(I am) "Dia duit/ Dia is Muire dhuit (hello/ hello to you). "Tá mé ag siúl/ rith/ gáire/ léim/ caoineadh/ i mo chodladh" (I am walking/ running/ laughing/ jumping/ crying/ asleep).
Themes - Starting School and Colour
Rhymes - Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, Incy wincy spider
Story - Elmer, Brown Bear Brown Bear, Rainbow Fish

We had fun exploring and playing the percussion instruments. We sang and played along to Twinkle Twinkle, Humpty Dumpty, Hey Diddle Diddle and Baa Baa Black Sheep. We were very good at keeping a beat. Some of the children were at their language lesson with Ms Hourican so they will get a turn next time.

We are having fun meeting our new friends in Letterland. So far we have met Annie Apple and Clever Cat. Below are some photographs of us doing our writing activities. We use chalkboards, whiteboards, sandpaper letters, rainbow letters and cars to help us write our letters.
