Senior Infants: Week of May 25 th - May 29 th Dear Parents, Below is some suggested work that you can work on with your child over the coming week. Included is a suggested timetable. The seesaw activity for this week will be available to view at 9a.m on Monday. Please do it at a time that is convenient to your family and when your child has access to a device. I appreciate many of you are working from home and older siblings may be using laptops etc as well. The first activity will help your child to become familiar with some of the functions available on seesaw such as taking a picture. I would ask you to encourage your child to have the seesaw activity completed by Thursday of each week. A new activity will be uploaded

weekly. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

We are looking forward to ‘wellness week’ which starts next Tuesday June 2nd. Sports for all day (with a difference this year) will be on Friday June 5th.
