Dear Parent/Guardian,
I hope that you and all your family are keeping well and enjoyed the Easter break. I have enclosed a list of some ‘suggested work’ which can be done throughout the week. Some of the work is different as it is a mixture of what the children have already been doing, along with some activities on our online platform ‘Seesaw’. If you need an access code for this, you can e-mail me at msobriensnc@gmail.com.
The layout this week is done out daily to help you with structure and to make it easier to follow. The work can be done in any order and can be done to suit you. As always, there is no pressure on this work and if you have any further questions, I will gladly be of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Ms. O’Brien

Children are looking at the ay sound today. The ai and ay sound the exact same. The way I explain it is that shy ‘i’ has to go away and toughy ‘y’ replaces the letter i. I have attached a short video for this.
