Communication and Literacy:

WRITING

Please don’t forget to keep adding to your diary every day. You can either write or draw pictures into it or do a bit of both to describe what life is like for you at the moment. Thankfully the situation is getting better so hopefully you are beginning to meet other family members or friends.

READING:

Reading material is found on the Big Cats website. You can access it by clicking on the link below. Remember all books are colour coded. Group A are red, group B is blue and group c is orange. The books get harder as they move up through the alphabet. I have told you what group you are in but if you feel ready to move to the next group just work away and you can let me know by emailing me at inisbofin@stbrigids.net

Continue with your money counting activities. Try and work out small amounts of change too! Work out change from 10c, 20c, 50c, €1 & €5 depending on what level you are at.

Hopefully you will also see some butterflies, if you do maybe you could add them into your picture too or create a different piece showing how symmetrical the butterfly is.
