This resource has been developed to support the teaching of Physical Education across the primary school. Activities are generic and can be used to support learning in any strand. The activities are designed to be non contact in nature.

In addition to promoting healthy growth and development, studies show that positive movement experiences explored during physical education lessons enhance children's ability to concentrate and maintain focus, help to relieve stress and anxiety, and encourage a lifelong love of physical activity. Physical Education has the ability to ensure that children have fun at school and establish a sense of connection with their classmates.

About Heritage Maps

The Heritage Maps viewer is a web-based spatial data viewer which focuses on the built, cultural and natural heritage around Ireland and off shore.

Heritage Maps allows you to look at a wide range of built and natural heritage data sets in map form, much of which have never been accessible to the public before. Heritage Maps can be used to create customized maps, measure area and distance, identify points of interest and study local flora and fauna, as well as many other uses, both recreational and research-based. These datasets were collected by both government departments and local authorities and it is worth noting that some datasets are only available on an individual county basis. The project is co-ordinated by the Heritage Council, working with the Local Authority Heritage Officer network. It builds on the work carried out by the National Biodiversity Data Centre, and you can generate reports on natural heritage by visiting their webviewer.

The Heritage Maps viewer acts as a "one stop shop" discovery tool, as it provides access to heritage data along with contextual data from a very wide range of sources. The user can create cross-disciplinary views from hundreds of datasets - crossing over administrative boundaries, subject boundaries, and the land-sea boundary. The Heritage Maps viewer offers a unique perspective, building up national coverage of heritage datasets from local authority sources as well as using existing national datasets. It uses web services to access live data where possible, thereby increasing data reliability.

Importantly, there are datasets unique to this project such as soil susceptibility to coastal erosion, museums datasets and a range of thematic county heritage surveys, creation of which have been supported by the Heritage Council and the Heritage Officer Network.

Any absence of information on the Heritage Maps viewer does not necessarily imply a low heritage value for that area; the area or aspect may simply be unrecorded. Similarly, any absence of information for an area does not necessarily indicate that the information has not been gathered by the relevant authority; it just may not have been made available through the Heritage Maps viewer to date. The ' Guide to Datasets in Heritage Maps' gives the folder layout & content arrangement of the main map-viewer.

Policy

The national and international policy context within which the project partners are working include, inter alia: the Water Framework Directive, and the Marine Strategy Directive, the Floods Directive, Birds and Habitats directives, Strategic Environmental Assessment, INSPIRE, planning legislation, National Monuments legislation, National Landscape Strategy, County Development Plans, and Regional Planning Guidelines.

Partners

The datasets in Heritage Maps have been sourced from a range of departments and state agencies including inter alia: DECLG, DAHG, DAFM, DCENR, Fáilte Ireland, GSI, Marine Institute, EPA, National Museum, NPWS, NIAH, NBDC, OPW, SEAI and Local Authorities.

Feedback

We are constantly striving to improve and upgrade the Heritage Maps user-experience. For this we rely on user feedback. Please take the time to send us your observations and suggestions via the feedback button, so that we can continue to improve the user-experience.

Citing Data

Please use the following format to cite data accessed through the Heritage Council's mapping viewer: 'Data from the [Insert dataset details] accessed through the Heritage Maps Viewer at www.heritagemaps.ie, [insert date]'.

Metadata

Metadata is provided where possible to permit the user understand motive for the creation of individual datasets. The Heritage Council will not provide access to, or supply datasets. All permissions to use and/or to access original datasets must be sought from the dataset creator and/or owner as outlined in the metadata.

The Map Viewer and associated infrastructure assists in meeting INSPIRE Directive obligations by providing a metadata service using the OGC CSW standard, and by loading data into the system the data is also available as a Web Service. Partners have been strongly encouraged to enter metadata into the central national local authority metadata portal which in turn provides a feed into the national ISDE.ie portal. It is noteworthy that much of the project heritage data is not created under a statutory remit so may not be required under the INSPIRE Directive. However under the spirit of the broader Spatial Data Infrastructure topic, the project's facilities for creating and serving data and metadata is important, as is the project's encouragement to harmonise data across organisations thereby facilitating its wider use.

Heritage Maps Datasets

A number of datasets have been created by the Heritage Council in order to raise awareness of the facilities represented within each dataset, with the aim of promoting our cultural, natural and built heritage. These datasets, available here, are being provided for public re-use under the Government's Open Data initiative, and are published under the CC-BY-SA licence.

Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the Classroom resources can be used by teachers to help engage parents in their child's physical literacy journey. Learning undertaken within physical education class can be consolidated and enhanced outside of school. This resource is arranged into 15 sections - one for each of the fundamental movement skills. Children are encouraged to practise what they have learned in the PE lesson at school by completing the corresponding activities at home. Each activity is accompanied by a video clip and contains a warm-up, an opportunity to practise the fundamental movement skill, a home challenge and a task to complete in the child's PE journal. This resource is available in both English and Irish

The concepts, skills and dispositions that children require to share opinions and interpretations on the meaning of texts are developed in this learning outcome. Furthermore, it addresses the need for children to critically reflect on their own intent as authors and the influence of authors on text sa Bhéarla agus sa Ghaeilge.

It is important to remember that "Text includes all products of language use: oral, gesture, sign, written, Braille, visual, tactile, electronic and digital" (PLC, 2019, p.20 and 59). This e-bulletin includes a variety of text types that teachers can consider when focusing on Learning Outcome 8 agus Toradh Foghlama 8. These texts include visual, print, multi-modal and digital texts i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla.

The suggested tasks support an inclusive learning environment and provide opportunities for children to meaningfully access the learning outcome in order to reach their full potential. Teachers can choose the explicit focus of the learning outcome based on the needs, strengths, interests and abilities of the children in the class. Freastalaíonn an e-bulletin seo ar chur chun cinn an Bhéarla agus na Gaeilge le páistí bunscoile.

Critical Literacy moves beyond traditional concepts of what it means to understand what we read. Critical readers and thinkers not only understand what they are reading, but they also question it.

Critical Literacy fosters and encourages a cultural attitude, a feeling that the world is there to be wondered at, to be queried, to be curious about.

In a class and a school where Critical Literacy is being developed, a sense of wonder and engagement will be nearly palpable.

This e-bulletin focuses on the development of Critical Literacy in the primary classroom.
