Remote Learning
Hi all,
Happy New Year to you all and I hope that you enjoyed the Christmas break. Sadly we are unable to return to school and for the rest of January we are going to switch to remote online learning via the Seesaw App. This is a challenging time for everyone and each household will have it's own individual pressures so I will try not to add to them as best I can. For those having any difficulty with Seesaw or for any assistance or queries please get in touch on ronan.mckenna@stoliversprimary.
Each evening I will upload activities to Seesaw for the following day and provide feedback on your child's work. Please only do what you can and remember that the most important activity over the next few weeks is reading with your child. To help with reading I am going to use the EPIC App and you should have received an email asking you to sign up. If you are having any issues with EPIC please get in contact.
Please see below steps for logging into Seesaw with a Games console for those who may not have access to a laptop or tablet.

Welcome to our Blog!!
Welcome to the Mr McKenna's Senior Infant Blog. We are all delighted to be back at school and we are settling back in. The boys and girls are already working very hard. We will update the blog over the coming weeks and months to share some of our work.
Just to let you know that our PE days are Wednesday and Friday. You will already have noticed that the children are leaving all of their books, copies and pencils cases in school. This will continue to be the policy and the only items that they need to bring each day are their lunch boxes, drinks and a coat.
Homework
Hopefully you have received your Seesaw learning code and login details which were sent home on Monday. For the first couple of weeks we will focus on Tricky words and CVC words. We will then add to this with some simple activities.
Shared Reading:
Each week I will send home a new book on Monday. If you could also spend some time reading (10-15 minutes) with your child each evening this would be very beneficial. Take turns reading and take some time to look at the new words in the book.
Please ensure to return these books each Friday in your child's folder.
If you have any issues with Seesaw please get in touch by email ronan.mckenna@stoliversprimary.ie

Science Week
For Science Week we had some great fun with two experiments. We added some food colouring to flowers and we started noticing that the flowers were changing colour! We also added some warm water to Skittles and you can see our amazing results below!
Aistear
LWe've been learning so much about houses and homes in Aistear. We have been constructing houses from blocks, Lego sand and straws. We have been designing our own houses and there are even some budding estate agents in Senior Infants too!
