As you know Irish is one of the 11 subjects on the Irish primary school curriculum. You can access all subjects and their curricula here!

We are all living and working in very difficult times and situations at present and as educators we are trying to support and guide by providing activities for learning at home. Some parents have brought to my attention that Irish is one of the areas which they are finding difficult to cover and so I have brought together some ideas and resources which I hope may support and guide anyone who is looking for information in this area!

Firstly, please do not worry, the most important thing is that you and your family are healthy and well, after that we will all work together with regards to school work!

Irish is a beautiful language and the curriculum above is laid out in a manner which hopes to introduce the children to the beauty of the language, to the spoken and written language as well as the cultural aspects. This new primary language curriculum also aims to provide the children with skills and knowledge to enable them to transfer their knowledge and skills from one language to another. Teaching for transfer of skills across languages is a very useful document and an interesting read which describes the manner in which children can be taught to transfer their language skills from one language to another and the benefits which this provides!

So point number two would be, remember everything you do in one language can be done in Irish, reading, writing, listening to stories, playing games such as Simon says or I spy, singing songs and saying rhymes, all transferable. So all activities you do in any language will be supporting the development of their linguistic skills which is a win win for all languages.

If you don't have Irish or you have not engaged with the language in a long time you need materials to support you to do the above activities! The Irish language community have come together at this time like no other in my 23 years teaching and have developed and shared the most wonderful resources. I will share a few here but there are more, lots more,

3. Listening to the Irish language, I would recommend Cúla 4 , An Siopa Ealaíne and Spongebob are always a great hit. Don't forget the Cúla 4 are starting their Cúla4 ar scoil from 10-10.30 each weekday from Monday 20th 2020. Cula 4 also have some lovely apps.

4. To listen to the language and also to use it I would highly recommend a newly developed programme for primary school children by a wonderful teacher and presenter Julie Anne An féidir leat? This programme will give you and your child an opportunity to enjoy the stories and activities and use a few words at the same time. Why not press pause and repeat after Julie Anne! An féidir leat! Can you do it? Yes you can! Is féidir leat!

5. There are very few children I have met that don't enjoy music or a catchy song, so to practise using your Irish while also reading if you have the words ( they are under the video in Lurgan videos) you could sing along

or for something a little more traditional you could use the wonderful site askaboutireland which has a large selection of Irish language songs and their lyrics here!

6. A very important aspect of reading the Irish language is to ensure that you are pronouncing the main sounds of the Irish language correctly. Mar a déarfá has a wonderful video in the three primary dialects of Irish which will help any learner to recognise and pronounce the sounds correctly. Mar a Déarfá . Once you know your sounds Túsfhuaimeanna which can be downloaded here is a very nice introduction to vocabulary and Fios fuaimeanna will keep you busy with what is in the picture/ name 5 things in the picture starting with b/ I spy games for quite a while! Cad atá sa phictiúr? Ainmnigh 5 rud a thosaíonn le b. Feicim le mo shúilín beag rud éigean a thosaíonn le b.

7. Cluichí - games, playing games is a wonderful way to use vocabulary which you have gained while watching a programme or using the websites recommended above, everything you play in one language can be played as Gaeilge, bingo, snap, go fish/ ag iascaireacht, match/ meaitseáil, I spy/ feicim le mo shúilín, words that begin with the same letter/ focail a thosaíonn le, give me a new word which begins with the last letter of my word / tabhair dom focal a thosíonn leis an litir deireadh i m'fhocalsa, word tennis/ leadóg focal - where you choose a theme and keep saying words based on the topic one at a time until someone has no new words - an older child could write the words to ensure they aren't used twice! I went to the shop and I bought/ Chuaigh mé go dtí an siopa agus cheannaigh mé... A wonderful resource with lots of words already prepared and matched with pictures has been developed by Gaeloideachas. The Foclóir ar Théamaí éagsúla ( Vocabulary) and Lipéidí ( labels) are perfect to print out and use for language games, however older children could write and create the resources.

8. Askabout Ireland above and Séideán Sí provide a nice selection of ebooks as Gaeilge, Ask about Ireland more suitable for 3rd class on. The books are presented with the text and can be read as an audio if required. However if you prefer a nice cosy story time experience, Cula 4 and Futa fata have compiled a wonderful selection of stories

Futa Fata have developed new Scéal an Lae videos over the last fortnight and they are available on their facebook page at present. Again these reading activities also lend themselves to writing activities, could they rewrite the story putting in new characters, place, time or a fill in the blank execrcise.

9. Other wonderful options are Duo Lingo and Frása an Lae from gaelchultúr

and one last favourite is Saotharlann doodles, where lovely pictures are labelled in English, Irish and also the phonetic pronunciation for the Irish words!

10. Dictionaries - Focloir.ie is a veru user friendly dictionary which also puts words in context and provides lovely phrases. Teanglann.ie provides pronunciation in the three dialects. An Draoi Gramadaí is a grammar wizard which will help find the right conjugation of the vberb, combine nouns, adjectives etc correctly! It really is a wizard!

I hope that this information is helpful and supportive in these difficuly times, in the words of Barack Obama Is féidir linn - Yes we can!

Fanaigí slán - Stay safe!

Ideas for Children doing School Work from Home

Ideas for Children doing School Work from Home

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With " school " starting back Monday, I thought I would put together a few ideas to help parents work through while they are supervising the work set by teachers " . Hopefully this will help a few of you out but keep in mind there is only so much you can do. Remember teachers are still teaching. You are not replacing the teacher, you are helping supervise the work that had already been prepared for your children. Do not feel that you have to add more in.

Now that the initial panic of schools closing is gone, schools will have had some time to put together a plan of work for children. Schools should now at this point be sending regular work home, so pick and choose from that work what you would like to cover. For the most part this is a suggestion of work. Teachers understand there can be challenges surrounding school work at home, so go easy on yourself and don't put yourself under pressure to get every single bit done! No teacher wants to add to the pressure that parents are already under. If you're struggling, reach out and ask the class teacher or school principal for some help.

You're not a teacher

I think this is my most important advice. As parents, we put ourselves under a lot of pressure at the best of times. Now, while stuck on lockdown, we are trying to be a mother, partner, housekeeper, employee and now a teacher! It is impossible to keep all of the balls up in the air, so it is time to give yourself a break! Schools will now have had time to put a plan in place and will be sending home regular work for your children to complete. Each school works differently but for the most part this is not like homework where every little bit has to be done. This is for the children to try and work through to keep their minds active. This is not about stopping the children falling behind. When schools are back open, the whole country will be working even harder on literacy and numeracy to make sure that no child is left being. As a teacher, I am not worried about my class missing out, instead I know that when I get my hands on them again I will work them even harder than before to make sure they are up to speed. So go easy on yourself. You can't do it all

How much school work should we do?

This all depends on each individual child. You know your children better than anyone else. You know how much they can be pushed and you know when to have a duvet day. For senior classes eg 3rd to 6th I would say 2 hours max per day. This doesn't have to be done all in one go. It can be broken up into half hour sessions throughout the day. It is very hard for children to sit and just work for 90 minutes or 2 Hours.

For the junior end of the school 45 mins at the very very most!! If you haven't already found a routine, sit down and makeup a time table. Ask the children how they would like to work? Do they want to break it up or do they want to get it all done in one go? Then do up a time table that includes, exercise breaks, lunch breaks, screen time and even chores!!! Children work well with structure. If you factor in the things they like to do in this timetable they will be more likely to stick with it. But remember to be fluid, not everything needs to be military like!

Junior and Senior Infants

Of all school going children, Junior and senior infant children will be the ones that catch up the fastest. They are like sponges at this age. I know some parents want some sort of structure on the day, but keep in mind that children of this age learn through play. One of our biggest learning tools in our classroom is play. Aistear is the framework we use as teachers. You can read about it here. One way of keeping this type of learning alive at home is to put together a box of old clothes and just let them at it. Or set up a shop, restaurant or even their own home office!! Let them create a new world. You might pick a theme of shopping, farming, people in our community. The list is endless but one thing this will give you is a chance for them to play and learn while you get some work done or have a cup of tea.

When it comes to table work, take guidance from the class teacher. For Junior infants working on their CVC words, pencil skills and their numbers 1-5. Teach your monster to read is a great resource for working on letter sounds and reading full sentences. Listening to your children read or practicing their difficult words will be incredibly beneficial for them. You don't need to spend ages doing this. 10 minutes is enough.

The Jolly Phonics app is also another fantastic resource and one teachers use. You do have to pay for this, but it is an app worth paying for.

Khan academy is also super for working on maths with younger classes. There are lots of great maths websites and apps but this one in particular they can work on on their own and it is age appropriate .

For Senior Infants again work on their reading skills. For children at this age it is all about trying to improve fluency and confidence. Try and listen to their reading everyday if you can.

For maths Work on numbers 1-10. The teacher will more than likely be sending work home surrounding this As much as possible try and integrate this through play . An isolated teacher on Instagram has some fantastic ideas for children in younger classes. https://www.instagram.com/anisolatedteacher/

3rd to 6th class

Children in the senior classes in primary school are far more used to working independently. The problem here is trying to keep them on task and motivated. Do not be afraid to offer them incentives. If this is screen time, then so be it. We are in unprecedented times. I see parents judging those who are offering their children devices to keep them occupied. All I will say is, there is no space to cast judgement here. You do what you need to do to get through each day. Just don't leave them unsupervised on their devices!! Keep checking what they are at and at the end of each evening take the device off them. Make sure you have the passwords to all of their apps too and check the phone history.

For school work, teachers will be giving them plenty to keep them going, so I am going to give some suggestions for extra bits if you feel they might want to do them.

Apps/ websites

Hour of code is a fantastic resource for teaching your children how to code. It uses games such a mine craft and movies like frozen as a template for them to work off.

Code academy is another IT focused website for teaching children how to do things surrounding building their own website.

Kahoot is another incredible resource that will keep them entertained for hours. They can work through ready made curriculum friendly quizzes or they can make their own. They can even take part in live quizzes with their friends.

Spelling city is a website, where you can input your children's weekly spellings and they can practice them through premade games. I would suggest keeping up the practice of a weekly spelling test during this time. Most children have a spelling workbook that they can work from.

Manga high is somewhere that they can work on maths skills. Keep going over their tables and add in a weekly tables test if you're doing a spellings test.

Twinkl have fantastic learning from home packs set up on their site. They have extended their free membership too. You can sign up here twinkl.ie/offer and use the code I RLTWINKLHELPS

Scoil net is an Irish website that has thousands of resources. You can pick your subject and topic and then find a list of resources for your children to work from.

Cúla4 is an Irish website that is full of tv shows and games in Irish.

Seideansi offers mini Irish lessons and games for children from Junior Infants to 6th class.

Top Marks is a data base of games for each subject. All you have to do is pick a subject and topic and you will have a wealth of games and activities.

Ideas to keep them going independently

Project work: Children can pick a topic and create either an old school scrap book project or they can create a presentation in powerpoint or prezzi. You can keep the topics educational if you want or it could be on their favourite footballer, a woman they admire or anything at all they are interested in.

Time capsule. I have seen a covid time capsule doing the rounds. This is a great idea to keep them occupied. As we are quite literally living through history here, get them to put some time and effort into it and parcel it away and put it somewhere safe that they can root it out in years to come. You can find the time capsule here.

Start a book club. Amongst a group of children, pick a book that they are all happy to read. Then maybe twice a week they can have a book club meeting where they discuss the chapters that they have read. Each meeting give one child the role of chair of the meeting. They can have the questions ready to go and lead the conversation. It might be worth having a few parents to hand for the first meeting or two. You will find questions for lots of age appropriate novels online.

Have a Kahoot quiz. Again this can be done live and the children can take it in turns to be the quizmaster. This keeps them connected with their friends while at the same time keeping their minds going.

Start a mindfulness journal. At the start of everyday, ask the children to start the day with a positive thought. They can write this into their journal. At the end of the day, ask them to write in 3 positive things that happened throughout the day and then one thing they would like to achieve tomorrow. This will help keep their mind focused on the positive and it might open up a discussion on any issues that might come up that you need to deal with.

Get the children to create an obstacle course for the family. This can be done inside or outside. They might also make a treasure hunt!! Here is an example of some ready made clues if you fancy making a treasure hunt yourself.

Get them to use this time to learn a new skill. EG skipping, volleying a ball, tying their shoes the list is endless.

Complete a maths trail. There are loads of these online but twinkl have a fantastic one for small children here.

Not every child can draw a picture off the top of their head. In my class we follow a lot of "How to" when it comes to drawing. I often put how to draw into Pinterest and pick out some of my favourites. Youtube is also brilliant and they can press pause and play at their own pace.

Here are a number of videos that are more suitable for post-primary level students. You can also keep up to date with internet safety inside and outside of the classroom with our advice videos for teachers here.

Title: #SilentWitness - You're a Meme

Comprising three short films, the #SilentWitness campaign explores the lived realities for young people online and aims to spark conversations about how we can all play a role in promoting respect and empathy in online communities.

The films examine the topics of banter, peer pressure, identity based-bullying (racist and homophobic), reflect on the impact bullying can have, and encourages people to report online bullying and abuse.
Title: #SilentWitness - A Snapshot Title: #SilentWitness - A love lost
The Full Picture is a short film exploring how young people use social media to connect and share. The film highlights the influences and pressures young people face online and encourages them to see the full picture. Social media helps us share our lives but it does not tell the whole story. The campaign encourages young people to be mindful of what influences them and how they respond to pressures online.

Title: Explained: What is Big Data?

Explained: What is Big Data? from Oide Technology in Education on

'Big data' has transformed the economy we live in. Over the last few decades, it's become far cheaper to collect and store, and much more valuable to own and use. It's now overtaken oil to become the most valuable resource in the world.

This video is one of the supporting animations for Connected - an introduction to digital media literacy.

For more information and lessons go to: webwise.ie/connected/
Title: Explained: What is False Information?

With so much information at our fingertips it can be easy to come across something online that isn't quite as accurate or reliable as it should be.
This kind of information is often called Fake News but a better description might be false information because it affects more than news stories.

This video is one of the supporting animations for Connected - an introduction to digital media literacy.

For more information and lessons go to: webwise.ie/connected/

Based on real life experiences, Connected is a short film exploring how young people communicate and connect online. The film encourages young people to reflect on why their actions matter and the impact it can have on others.

#BeInCtrl - A Short Film on Online Grooming from Oide Technology in Education on Vimeo.

Created to compliment the Be in Ctrl teaching resource, this video depicts the stories of two teenagers subjected to online sexual coercion and extortion. The purpose of this video is to inform young people that this behaviour is a crime, raise awareness of how to protect themselves online, where to find help and support and to give them Ctrl!
Title: Say No!
This short film (10 minutes) is based on a composite of real events developed by Europol. The film depicts the story of two teenagers, Anna and George, who become victims of online coercion and exploitation. This video is part of lesson 1 of the Be in Ctrl educational resource.

For Your Eyes Only addresses the topic of non-consensual image-sharing among teens. The video is part of the Lockers Teaching Resource which includes two corresponding lessons. The video can also be used to lead a class discussion and can be viewed alongside the Just For Fun video (below).

Just For Fun

UP2US

Music producer & Artist - Bitter Rocc made this short clip encouraging us all to do something to tackle online bullying for the Safer Internet Day. It's part of an anti-cyber bullying campaign called #UP2US. Find out more here: http://www.watchyourspace.ie/

Use the Safer Internet Day rap to promote an anti-bullying message and to help improve comprehension skills. The British Council has developed activities, based on our rap, for teenagers learning English as a foreign language. These interactive matching activities could also be used to improve literacy skills in a primary classroom.

Language for Living

I am a firm believer in developing oral language and vocabulary skills in children. I developed 'Language for Living' (also referred to as Tip of the Tongue), which contains a wealth of inspiring resources for the development of oral language and vocabulary development.

Offers planned, intentional teaching of vocabulary...words of the day/ overused words and expressions etc.

A progressive, considered method to narrow the word gap

Hands on, ready to use.

Adaptable to the learning needs of different children.

learning through play, games and activities.

It is available from http://www.eduhub.ie (Ireland) or http://www.tts-international.com (UK). More detail and videos are available in the menu above.

We can share with our children a wealth of words...by closing the vocabulary gaps for children in our classrooms with their peers, we can offer them the vital academic tools for school success, alongside the capability to communicate with confidence in the world beyond the school gates.

Read Aloud with Michelle Obama

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Along with Penguin Random House, the Former First Lady is leading a four-episode series that will see her read The Gruffalo, among other books.

PBS KIDS, Random House Children's Books and the former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama are teaming up to launch the new YouTube series Mondays with Michelle Obama, where she will read popular children's books to the kid-audience.

Part of the Random House's Read Together, Be Together literacy initiative and PBS KIDS' read-aloud efforts on digital platforms, the kidcaster will livestream the first episode on April 20 on PBS Kids' YouTube channel and Facebook page,as well as Penguin Random House's Facebook page.

PBS KIDS will launch one livestreamedvideo each week until May 11. Alongside the videos, the companies are also releasing activities, tips and resources for families based on each of the books on Penguin's Read Together website and the kidcasters' for-parents hub.

Obama will read The Gruffalo, There's a Dragon in Your Book, Miss Maple's Seeds and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. She is teaming up the companies to give kids a chance to practice their reading and listen to stories at a time when many families are under a lot of stress, she said in a statement from Random House and PBS Kids.

The former First Lady has been growing her presence in the children's space over the last year, partnering with Netflix in May 2019 to create the new half-hour preschool show Listen to Your Vegetables & Eat Your Parents through her prodco Higher Ground. Created by Jeremy Konner ( Drunk History) and Erika Thormahlen ( Just Deal) the new show teaches kids and their families about the food they eat. It's also part of a bigger slate of adult-skewing projects that Obama, alongside former President Barack Obama, are producing exclusively for Netflix.
