Primary Irish - Aspects of Shared Cultural Heritage

Primary Irish and Aspects of Shared Cultural Heritage

The main aim of this resource is to build capacity within primary schools outside of the Irish-medium sector, so that they can teach elements of Irish and shared cultural heritage using existing staff & resources.

Where to begin?

You may decide to involve the whole school or focus on a particular key stage and/or year group. You may choose to try some basic conversational Irish or focus on a specific Area of Learning to use Irish in context by taking a cross-curricular approach - for example, learning to tell the time or teach a PE lesson in Irish.

There will be the opportunity to avail of training provided by CCEA on-site, in twilight sessions or cluster groups.
