**Would it it be possible for each child to bring in two or three gluesticks? Thanks a million!
Dolch lists 3 and 4: Our whole school plan states that by the end Junior Infants all children should know Dolch lists 1 and 2. By the end of Senior Infants the children should be familiar with all words on Dolch lists 3 and 4. When your child can instantly recognise the Dolch word please tick it off. The Dolch words are high frequency words, the words we read most often. Many are words that the child cannot sound out using phonics so they must be recognised at sight. There are lots of games that you can play to help with this process. You can make falshcards, play Snap or Go Fish with these words. The following websites have lots of ideas which are easy to do.

Jolly Phonics readers: Books will be changed when your child can read it fluently (Wednesdays and Fridays). Please make sure you have singed the reading log.
The Wrong Car Words: We have included a pack of these words with a date for each week that we will be covering them. This week we are doing Week 2. If possible do not go ahead with these words.
Maths: This week there is an activity sheet included, based on addition using the numberline.
Dictation: A suggestion would be to do one sentence per evening. This week we have included a blank copy in your child's folder, as well as a Dictation sheet with instructions.
The dictation this week is based on 'Magic e' with the vowel 'a'. We have explained on the sheet what magic e is. The children are familiar with the term, and we've been doing lots of practice.
Purple table won table of the week so they have earned a night off homework.
