Dear parents,
We hope that you are all safe and well. We have attached below a plan of work for the weeks beginning June 1st and June 8th.
We have changed the layout to aid you in spacing out the work during the week. We are aware that this is a stressful time and we do not want to make you feel under pressure to complete all of this work. This is suggested work to keep your child active and engaged in educational activities during this closure.

If the boys and girls would like to show their friends what they are up to, you can send a picture to room1@stconlethinfantschool.ie for the school’s Twitter page.

Graduation Poem:
St. Conleth’s Infant School
Graduation Poem
In junior infants it all began,
Happy and clappy to school we ran.
Learned or numbers 123,
And how to recite our ABC,s.
In senior infants we were bigger,
We were able to read our books
much quicker.
Writing down the news every day,
Still we love to go out and play.
Now in first class we are the
seniors,
Keeping our school greener and
greener.
Graduation day has come upon us,
Off to 2nd class without a fuss.
Friends with home and friends
will go,
Many we will miss but we hope for
more.
Farewell to our teachers and SNA’s
For saint Conleth‘s infant
school… hip hip,
Hooray!!
Our Father
Our father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass
against us,
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
