Dear parents/guardians,
We hope all of our pupils and their families are keeping safe & well in these difficult times. On our website (www.stjosephsinfants.ie) you can access some more homework activities for Senior Infant & 1st Class pupils to do over the next few weeks if you wish. Work will be uploaded here in the coming days.
Junior Infant classes were given an outline of work to complete per week. Their teachers have asked that parents work onwards following the same pattern.
Our staff are available to offer support/guidance with these tasks via the email addresses below.
Books such as Planet Maths and Sounds Make Words are available on www.folesonline.ie. Parents can register by following the onscreen directions to access all books.
Grow in Love- log into www.growinlove.ie.
Use email/login: trial@growinlove.ie Password: growinlove
This work is optional. Parents can pick and choose from the activities & may decide to leave activities during Easter.
Children may be feeling anxious and may find it difficult to keep up with structured learning.
Please do not put yourself or your child under pressure during this time. Other activities such as baking, cooking, reading a story, physical exercise etc would be very beneficial where possible.
We have added below a lovely story “Dave The Dog Is Worried About Coronavirus” which you may like to read to your child.
Also, RTE will broadcast School On TV from 11-12 Monday to Friday.
Most important for us all at this moment is that we stay safe, keep our social distance and support one another.
We look forward to seeing you all very soon when it is safe for us to reopen.Take care
Brian Fitzgerald
