We're ready for action. Our videographer is checking his equipment for recording our class/bubble performances tomorrow. All singing will take place outdoors with strict social distancing in Pods. Every class is super excited and class teachers have agreed that there will be no homework until the new year if everyone tries their very best tomorrow!!!🎅🤶👼👼👼
As this is the season of giving, our resident elf is busy making post boxes for each classroom so that our pupils can safely exchange Christmas cards. Last date for posting is Friday 18th December after which the post boxes will remain untouched for 72 hours before the class teachers will distribute the cards.
Spellings for me is our new individualised spellings programme. It has been rolled out from 2nd class to 6th class and we are loving the way this programme involving both digital and physical methods of practicing spellings, is enhancing teaching and learning in the school. Have a look at www.spellingsforme.ie for more details.
We will be using ixl.com to practice tables, number facts and lots of other mathematical exercises as well as English grammar in the coming weeks. We are loving how the digital world can enhance teaching and learning in Oylegate NS. Please see www.ixl.com for more details.
