Home school activities

We have drawn together a selection of MediaWise resources for parents or teachers to set for children as homeschooling activities.

MediaWise

Mediawise is an online media literacy resource to teach primary school children about the many sources of media around us, how media adverts make us feel and how the media influences us.

Topic 1: What is the media?

Show your kids the What is the media video which explains the different forms of media we see every day and explains that media aims to sell us a product or give a message.

Watch the video

After watching the video ask them to:

Draw the different forms of media they have seen in the video.

Draw a product they have seen advertised on TV.

Discussion and activity

Ask your children what signs or brands would they expect to see in a supermarket. Then, using this activity sheet, get them to create their own brand for a supermarket product.
Download the activity sheet (PDF)
Topic 2: Who is the target

Show your kids the Who is the Target video which shows how the media and advertisers use words, colours, images and characters to sell a product or message to a particular audience. In the video these content producers make assumptions about what they feel might appeal to a particular audience.

Watch the video

Play the game

After watching the video, ask them to spot the hidden advertising or messages in this game:
Launch the game
Discussion and activity

Then talk to them about stereotyping. Explain assumptions are ideas or beliefs that are not based on fact. Advertisers make assumptions using stereotypes about the people and children. They make assumptions about the different toys that boys and girls might like based on stereotyping. Advertisers assume that all boys play with the same types of toys and girls all play with the same types of toys. This is stereotyping.

Using this activity ask them to first draw clothes and products they think advertisers would put on a girl and boy. Then on the second part of the activity sheet, see if they can draw clothes and products that advertisers might not stereotypically expect for a girl and boy.
Download the activity sheet (PDF)
Understanding stereotypes

Then see if your children can spot all the assumptions made in the products here:
Launch the slideshow
To end ask them to draw a toy that is not stereotypical.

Below you'll find your free resources to use with children during Lent, Holy Week, and Easter this year. As we are so unsure of when our school doors will re-open or when congregations will present for celebrations of Mass, We have prepared the resources to be used at home, in school (remote learning), or in the parish (online). All of the resources are in black and white for ease of printing.

We invite parents and guardians to pray with their children during these sacred days and to join in prayer, from their homes, when Mass, and other ceremonies during Holy Week, is being held in your local parish online or being celebrated on TV. We also invite teachers, pastoral workers, priests and religious, lay ministers, and others to share these resources as widely as possible and to participate with your own families too!

To help children and their families, our resources include:
▪ a prayer service for Ash Wednesday (17th February), which marks the beginning of Lent
▪ a Lenten Calendar of Kindness with activities to carry out each day
▪ prayers and actions to do with their families during Holy Week
▪ a prayer service for Easter Sunday (4th April)
▪ our Easter colouring competition for children

Simply click on the images below to view or download the resources!

Our crack team of science communicators have filmed short demonstration videos in their kitchens and living rooms, using basic household materials to demonstrate physics in easy-to-replicate ways. Alongside the films, we have step-by-step instructions and explanations of the science behind it all published right here.

The experiments below have been created as part of our Limit Less campaign, which aims to support young people to change the world and fulfil their potential by doing physics.

And now you should also try our just-released activity pack, perfect for the long nights.

Is físeán é seo faoi thurgnamh spraíúil agus éasca chun sláthach a chruthú. Ag brath ar an gcaoi a meascann tú na comhábhair le chéile, déanfar rud éigin atá sreangánach, ramallach nó níos cosúla le marla. Is turgnamh eolaíochta nó taispeántas físeáin céadfach iontach, sciobtha agus éasca é seo.

Modheolaíocht

Trealamh

Gliú PVA (gnáthghliú uiscethuaslagtha)

Púdar Bóráis

Uisce

Dathú bia (dath ar bith)

Babhla agus spúnóg

Dhá chrúsca/ghloine atá ar cóimhéid chun an gliú agus an t‑uisce a thomhas

Spúnóg tae

Braonairí

Réamhchúraimí

Caith naprúin, nigh do dhá láimh i ndiaidh an turgnaimh, ná hith an sláthach, agus seachain nach dtéann sé i ngar do do shúile ná d'éadach ar bith.

Modh

Tomhais an méid céanna uisce agus gliú (thart ar leathchupán an ceann).
Cuir isteach i mbabhla iad.
Measc le chéile go maith iad.
Cuir cúpla braon de dhathú bia leo.
Chun an Tuaslagán Bóráis a dhéanamh: Cuir spúnóg tae de phúdar Bóráis (a bhíonn ar fáil ón gcógaslann) i gcupán glan eile agus leathlíon le huisce é. Measc go maith é.
Cuir cúpla braon den tuaslagán Bóráis isteach sa bhabhla ina bhfuil an gliú, an t‑uisce agus an dathú bia, agus measc gach rud le chéile.
De réir mar a bhíonn tú á mheascadh cruthófar an sláthach.

B'fhéidir go mbeadh ort níos mó den tuaslagán Bóráis a chur sa bhabhla chun a chinntiú go n‑iompóidh an leacht ar fad ina shláthach.

Tabhair faoi deara: Is féidir an sláthach a stóráil i mála Ziploc chun é a choinneáil úr agus solúbtha ar feadh cúpla seachtain.

Tabhair faoi deara

Mura n‑úsáidtear dathú bia, ba cheart go mbeadh tú in ann an sláthach a níochán de dhromchlaí agus d'fhormhór na n‑éadach in‑nite. D'fhéadfadh dathú bia dath a fhágáil ar chraiceann ar feadh tamall fada agus d'fhéadfadh sé dath a fhágáil ar éadaí go deo, mar sin bí cúramach má dhéanann tú sláthach daite. Is féidir lámhainní aon uaire a úsáid chun an sláthach a láimhseáil go dtí go dtriomaíonn sé.

Nótaí an Mhúinteora

Is plaisteach é gliú bán PVA a dhéantar as ola. Is mianra nádúrtha é Bórás a bhaintear as mianaigh faoin talamh. Cuireann daoine lena níochán é uaireanta chun go n‑oibreoidh a nglantach go maith. Cruthaítear polaiméir shreabhánach, thrasnasctha sa turgnamh seo. Is móilín mór í polaiméir a fhaightear i bplaistigh go hiondúil. Tá snáitheanna PVA sa pholaiméir sláthaigh a gcoinníonn na cáithníní bóráite le chéile trí nascadh hidrigine. Cruthaíonn an trasnascadh sin an sláthach. Is idirghníomhú nach féidir dul siar air é sin, cosúil le hubh a bhruith go mbeidh sí ina hubh chruabhruite.

Bíonn an‑tóir ar an turgnamh sláthaigh i measc daltaí de gach aois ach tá sé oideachasúil freisin; oibríonn na daltaí ar oideas, úsáideann siad scileanna tomhais, breathnóireachta agus obair bhuíne chun an sláthach a chruthú. Ina dhiaidh sin, is féidir tabhairt faoi réimse gníomhaíochtaí breise ina dtagann na daltaí ar fhianaise chun í a chur i láthair.

Gníomhaíochtaí Breise

Feidhmíonn sláthach mar sholad agus mar leacht, iarr ar na daltaí liosta a dhéanamh de shubstaintí ramallacha eile. Is sampla ón mbaile é citseap.
Ba cheart do na daltaí airíonna an tsláthaigh a fhiosrú. Iarr ar na daltaí breith ar an sláthach ina lámha agus breathnú an dtéann sé tríd a méara. Cá fad is féidir leo an sláthach a shíneadh? An athraíonn an dath riamh? Iarr ar na daltaí liathróid bheag a dhéanamh den sláthach agus ligean dó titim ar an mbord. Feidhmeoidh an sláthach cosúil le solad nuair atá sé faoi strus, mar sin ní thiocfaidh steanc as ná ní dhéanfaidh sé praiseach den bhord. Iarr ar na daltaí buille faoi thuairim a thabhairt faoin méid a tharlóidh agus iarr orthu a gcuid torthaí a mhíniú.
Iarr ar na daltaí seasamh i líne i ngreim láimhe ar a chéile. Coinnídís greim ar lámha a chéile agus iarr ar dhalta amháin dul chun cinn dhá choiscéim agus ar dhalta eile dul siar dhá choiscéim. Lig dóibh leanúint ar aghaidh mar sin ar feadh tamaill agus tuigfidh siad ar deireadh go bhfuil siad ag gníomhú mar a bheadh sláthach ann. Léiríonn a lámha na naisc cheimiceacha a choinníonn an sláthach le chéile. Ba cheart go dtabharfaidís faoi deara freisin má bhogann siad an iomarca go mbrisfidh an líne, díreach cosúil leis an sláthach.

Bileoga Oibre

Tá trí bhileog oibre le gach turgnamh - ceann do na bunranganna, ceann do na meánranganna agus ceann do na hardranganna. Is féidir iad a chóipeáil go héasca agus a thabhairt do na daltaí i ndiaidh na gníomhaíochta nó mar obair baile.

What to do with this activity?

What is body percussion? It's when you use your body to make rhythmical noises instead of drums or other percussion instruments. That can include clapping, striking your hand against different parts of your body, or stamping your feet. Sometimes it is combined with vocal sounds but not words. Lots of folk dances from all over the world use body percussion in different ways.

Why not learn a short body percussion routine together. Have a look at this short lesson from CBeebies or this one from the same channel. Get some more inspiration from this group from Costa Rica. Try and combine moves to make your own body percussion routine.

Children improve their language by hearing how words are used in everyday life. Chatting to your child helps build their communication skills. Getting your child to tell you stories or explain things, helps them to put ideas in the right order. This is an important skill for listening and speaking.

When you're out and about with your child ask them to recall little things that happened on previous trips. For example, "Do you remember what we saw here yesterday?" This helps your child to recall, listen, speak and to become more aware of their surroundings - good skills for listening and speaking.

But remember, to listen well, first let your child finish what they are saying. Avoid too many questions that might interrupt their train of thought. Try not to think about what you want to say next. Concentrate on what your child is saying. Check with them that you understood, for example, "So what you are saying is..."
