Class: Senior Infants Room 4 Week beginning: 8th June 2020

Hi girls! How are you all? Can you believe it is the 8th of June already? The weeks are flying by! Please continue the great

work. The lessons you are doing are exercises for the mind, and you will find it so much easier to settle back into school if you

keep up the good work.

Gentle reminder: With schools closed we are going to have a home/virtual school tour. Check out some of the suggestions that

I have included that you could do from the comfort of your own home if you didn’t get a chance last week- I’m sure you will

have your ideas of your own which will be even better! Unfortunately, due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) we

are unable to retain any videos or photos which show your child’s face or body. This is to ensure that we adhere to all Child

Protection and GDPR regulations.

Benny and his friends decided to build a little pillow fort and have a teddy bear tea party whilst reading some of our

favourite stories together! He would love to see what you get up to so you can send me a photo of the activity you choose to

go with

As always, please pick and choose the activities that suit you and your family best.

Kind regards,

Ms. Hennessy niamh@smltullow.ie
