Our Awesome Letters!
We learned how to write letters today!
You have to write the date on the right, the 'Dear someone' part on the left and start in the middle of the first line.
There was lots to remember but Cecelia couldn't believe how excellent they all were!
We've come a long way since the start of the year.
Really getting ready for first class now!

Buddy Handwriting
We had some visitors in our classroom today!
Orlagh's 5th class have kindly agreed to do some buddy handwriting with us. We each got a partner who is able to help us with our pencil grip, letter formation, sizing and all the things we need to remember for good handwriting.
Today we were working on roundy letters so all the letters started with a c shape. We worked really hard and the fifth class were all really nice to us and gave us lots of praise for our work.
It was a lovely experience and we're already looking forward to next week's session!

Revise your Phonic Sounds!
During Parent Teacher Meetings, some parents asked for some assistance with helping their children say the phonic sounds correctly.
Consequently... here's a link to online flashcards for both the initial group of phonic sounds and also the phonic alternatives that we do in senior infants.
You can use the class account or (even better) create your own account. If you have a personal account, the site remembers which ones you don’t know and let’s you practise them more.
