Book Review – Mr. Wolf Goes to the Ball
I read Mr. Wolf Goes to the Ball with 1st and 2nd Class and they loved it! The book is about a wolf who gets an invitation to a ball and he can’t decide what to wear. He decides he wants to wear a dress but the other animals tell him he shouldn’t. His friend the sheep encourages him to wear it and he loves it and feels amazing dancing the night away at the ball. read more…
St. Patrick’s Line-Ups 01
This seasonal resource focuses on ordinal numbers and positional language which can pose some difficulties for younger pupils and SEN pupils. The pack includes six worksheets with a St. Patrick theme for pupils to practise these essential skills. Book Review – Little Love Lessons
Little Love Lessons by Tarsila Krüse is a wonderfully gentle book, encouraging its child and adult readers to consider the beauty in the mundane, the joy in the routine, and the happiness they may have lost sight of. Written in page-long vignettes with beautiful illustrations, the book suggests ways for children to change their perspectives, calm their worries, embrace other cultures, and share difference to promote inclusion. read more…
Book Review – Standing on One Leg is Hard
I read this story with my Junior Infant class and also my 5 year old son at home. The children were engaged in the story straight away as they liked the pictures. As I began to read, I was surprised to find out that not one of my 29 pupils had ever heard of a heron before. Therefore, we got off to a good start as it was a way to develop their language and knowledge of a new bird from the beginning. read more…
St. Patrick’s Tracing Booklet
In a digital era, we sometimes wonder if handwriting is still an important skill for pupils to learn. However, there are many benefits, both physical and educational, in getting pupils to practise handwriting and pencil control. This seasonal resource consists of a 30 page Tracing Booklet with a range of pattern for pupils to practice.
