All classes have been very busy since they came back to school in January – what a great start to the new year!
Senior Infants and 1st Class
Senior Infants are taking part in Lift-Off to Literacy this term.
Literacy Lift-Off is a whole-class intervention aimed at increasing each child’s competency in oral language, reading and writing. Diverse activities are essential for extending literacy processing power. Hence, the pupils work in ‘stations’ to carry out a number of activities in reading and writing, over the course of an hour, under the guidance of 4 teachers.
During each Literacy Lift-Off session, children experience five activities:
- Oral Language
- Familiar Reading
- Word Work
- Writing
- New Book
