First week of homework: Week Beginning 5th September
In Powerstown E.T.N.S. we teach cursive handwriting from Junior Infants and it is used throughout the school. There are many benefits to using cursive script including improvements in reading as well as writing. The keystone of good handwriting it the pencil-grip and we have been working on this during our first week in the Birch Class. For more information on this please see the Parents Corner of our class blog at: http://petnsbirchclass2016.weebly.com/handwriting.html
In September’s History lessons, the Birch Class will be creating a personal timeline of their lives. To help with this, we need all our Birch Class historians to conduct research about themselves. If parents and children could discuss the topics below and record as many answers as possible - including any relevant information - eg: “X was 6 years old when they got their first bike and they named it Molly”. Also it would be fantastic if it was possible send in a baby photo and/or items from when the children were younger (all items will be returned). We really appreciate you help with our timeline project!
