School Closure June 2th-5th

Junior Infants 2020

As I know the school time-table states we were to be off this
week, it is your decision whether you would like to continue with
work or not this week. I have made some of the activities fun
and interactive instead. This is given as a guide and by no means
is it expected that all of it is to be completed. Feel free to pick
what you would like from the day and send it back for
correction, if you wish. It is the same below work that I will
copy into each day on Aladdin. Please only complete what you
can, it does not all have to be done and I know some days can
be better than others!!
