We started learning English at school today!  The children were very excited.  Every day we will learn a new sound, we already know lots of these as most are the same as they are in Gaeilge.   Today’s sound was S.  For homework every night, the children will finish a worksheet which they will have started in school.  They write the letter, name the pictures of things starting with s, and can write / call out some other things that start with s.  Encourage them to look for words with S in their environment, play I spy, out one out, etc.  They also have their usual Leabhar Gaeilge to read

Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh go léir.  Tá súil agam go raibh laethanta saoire deasa agaibh.  Bhí sé go h-álainn na páistí a fheiceáil arís inniu.

Bhí tuirse ar gach duine inniu agus mar sin ní aon obair scríofa le déanamh sa bhaile.  Tá leabhair nua le léamh acu.

Happy new year everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmass and enjoyed the holidays.  It was lovely to see the children again today.  Everyone was a bit tired so there is no written homework tonight, each child has a new book to read.
