Dear Parent,

I hope you are finding the work plans helpful. As always this is a guide only. There is no

pressure at all, just do what you can. It is broken down by day as some might find that

easier, however you can pick and choose to complete whatever suits you at any time. Please

do what works for you and your family. Please note if you don't have a printer, don't worry

about it - children can use a copy/sheet of paper and complete work there. Alternatively,

you may wish to do some of the work orally only and that is completely fine.

As always if you any questions please feel free to contact us

Mrs. Carville deirdre@stlouisinfants.ie

Mrs. Mc Kenna eimear@stlouisinfants.ie

My Coins

I know a little poem,

It isn’t very funny.

It’s about my cent coins

And how to count my money.

A cent means there’s just one

And two cent means there’s two.

We know that two mean’s one and one

And to have two cents is really fun.

Five cent means five.

That means two and two and one.

When I have five cent,

Off to the shop, I run.
