We have been busy since we came back to school for our second term in Junior Infants! Firstly, we got a new class photo, as we have all grown a lot since our first photo together in September!
Our Play Rota this month is based on the Opticians! We have been learning all about the optician, focusing on new vocabulary, including eye test, glasses, case, contact lenses, eye patch, receptionist, appointment. We have been designing glass in our art area and at the Mobilo station.
In P.E. this month, we are focusing on Dance. Before each lesson, we do some work on the Fundamental Movement Skill which we are focusing on. These are basic skills, which we are working on, as a whole-school. This month, the Fundamental Movement Skill is balancing. Orla showed us some tricky balances and we tried to hold each one for 10 seconds!
We are still working hard on our phonics, and have nearly learned all 42 sounds by now! We are also doing lots of blending practice and working on our letter formation.
Lots of practice can be done at home, revising the sounds using videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COJdn6sbbsk or by practicing blending CVC words together (eg. d-o-g, c-a-t, r-u-n etc.)
