Goodbye and Hello Messages!
As promised, here are some messages from us. We hope you enjoy them and wish you all a wonderful summer.
If you have any books at home that belong to the school, your mam or dad might drop them in. We are open for the month of July.
As we didn't get to go on a school tour this year, we thought you might like to do a virtual tour of San Diego Zoo. See how many animals you can spot!!

We can't believe it's our last full week in senior infants!!
We have put together lots of activities for you.
We would be very happy if you could try some of them and read a book everyday.
Like Alice did, you could try some baking or if art is your thing, try a summer craft.
Keep a look out on Friday for a special message!!

Always remember to ask for help from a grown up if you are using an oven. Let the grown up do the cutting as sometimes a sharp knife is needed.
Remember if you want to find books to read, you can go onto the oxford owl website and click on my class login:

Hi girls! How are you all? I can't believe it but we only have three weeks left in senior infants!! I hope you are all keeping safe, being good for your mammy and daddy and helping out around the house. From yesterday, we are now allowed travel further, go shopping and visit family and friends if they live in Co Dublin. I am hoping to visit my family at the weekend and meet my new nephew.
How did you get on with yesterday's wordsearch? Did you think of any ways we can keep our oceans clean and healthy? One thing we could all do when we go to the beach this summer is put our rubbish in the bins. That way it won't end up in the ocean and harm the creatures who live there. If you want to find out more about the ocean, watch some videos and play games, you can go to this website:

Conas atá tú Ella? An bhfuil tú go maith? Are you helping your mammy at home?
I bet you can't wait to go back to Wexford again this summer. It has some beautiful beaches!! Ruby, are you playing lots with your sisters? Bet you're glad some mornings that you can stay in bed a bit longer. If we were in school, we'd have set up our own Vet's Clinic. I could just imagine you as the vet giving a puppy its injections, looking in a cat's ears or giving a rabbit an xray to check for broken bones.
My News: It was my friend's birthday on Sunday. I sent her some make up and a card. We had a zoom call on Saturday. Yesterday I did a Zumba class, it was great fun!

When might you bring your pet to the clinic? There are lots of occasions........when it is sick, when it has stopped eating, when it has lost weight, when it needs to get a vaccination, when it has an accident and you should also bring it for a yearly check up. Do you know any of the different jobs a vet does? Write your list in our padlet above. Watch these videos to find out more

Math
I’m sure all of you are keeping up your counting. Make sure you practise counting up to 20. And even counting back wards from 20 to 0. Use silly voices to make it fun 👍🏻
Today we are going to learn about data. Data in maths is when we collect information and recording it on a chart. You can see two circles that are connected. Your job is to sort the orange sweets into one part of the circle and the spotty sweets into the other part of the circle. There is a place in the very middle where the sweets that are both orange and spotty sweets go! Any sweets that are neither spotty or orange go in the box outside the circle. Give it a go!
