Apologies the homework is only being posted now. The internet was down in the school today. 

You have probably noticed that there is not yet a book in the folders. Sorry for the inconsistency. Myself, Julie and Fiona have discussed the need for graded decodable storybooks for Senior Infants. We ordered a complete set of Jolly Phonics decodable readers for each Senior Infants class. They are due to arrive in the next day or two. We're going to set up a system where the children can swap the books regularly. We'll fill you in on our plans at the parents meeting. 

Reading vocabulary prep for class novel 'Ella Goes to the Airport': 3 words EACH night. Please sign every night to show your child knows the words.

Busy at Maths Home Links book: Pages 4, 5, 6. 

Handwriting pages: nN and pP. Please ensure your child develops the habit of forming their letters correctly. Also check your child's pencil grip. (Refer to sheets in folder.)

CVC word family 'o': Read one list EACH night.Turn over the page and write one dictation sentence EACH night. Instructions below.

Please read the following simple sentences aloud to your child. They will write what they hear. Don't forget the full stops! Please read the sentences slowly, clearly and as many times as needed. The children can use their sound chart to aid with blending of sounds. They can also use Dolch lists to copy any tricky words that the sentence contains. (Dolch words are words that cannot usually be blended using sounds, eg 'we').

1. Monday: "The tot got a cot."
2. Tuesday: "That pot is not hot." 
3. Wednesday: "The cop had a mop."
4. Thursday: "Look at the dog and hog in the bog."
