Dear Parents and Children, 

Thank you for all the wonderful work received so far. This week we will be going back to the beginning of our phonics to revise Group 1. 

Encourage your child to work independently with these sounds as they should know them very well. Please ensure they are writing their letters correctly. 

Instructions on correct formation are at the bottom of the “All Write Now” workbook page each day. Please remember to choose a downloadable book 

from Jolly Phonics website at the end of the document that compliments the sounds we are doing each week. 

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT OUR ZOOM TIMES HAVE CHANGED TO ACCOMMODATE LONGER SESSIONS AND CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED BY 

COPYING AND PASTING THE MEETING ID IN TO THE ZOOM APP. THIS IS DUE TO INCREASED SECURITY MEASURES. 

THE PASSWORD WHICH IS ALWAYS THE SAME WILL BE SENT VIA EMAIL/ PHONE. 

I will check my emails every day please email these to me each day or as soon as you can! I am available from 9.10-2.50pm and will try to respond to you 

all. Please continue to do what the adults are asking you to at home as this is a tricky time for them too. 

Thank you, 

Ms Ryan deliaryan@smltullow.ie   P.S If there is a subject that you do not participate in e.g Religion please spend extra time on the Math and English activities provided.
