Practical Suggestions for Home Learning through Covid 19

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve decided to give you a few ideas of things you can do to help your child to learn. We decided to base it on active learning methodologies. Please remember that these ideas are completely optional.  Our suggestion is that you give your days some routine and maybe dedicate an hour or two to schoolwork.
Try to include reading, tables and spellings, some physical activity, some writing and some Gaeilge.
