👩‍🔬 It's SCIENCE WEEK next week 🧪🔬

This week I've shared some fun and simple science experiments you could try next week with your class but I'm also VERY aware, that there's not time to mark every national day, special week and holiday 🤯 Sometime it's just not possible 👍

Something I used to do during 'special weeks/days' when I just honestly wouldn't get around to marking it in a big way in school, was assign fun and different optional homework (as you might have seen with my Maths Eyes 👀 homework during Maths Week).

I've done this in the past with Science Week by giving the students an optional science experiment for homework each night. To save time I chose from what was available on @twinkl_ireland , printed the steps, and sent them home. If you're not a twinkl member I'm sure you can find these experiments online too.

The kids who tried out the experiments shared their photos with the class via Aladdin and we looked at them together each morning 📸

👇

Monday: 🧼 How Soap Works

Tuesday: 🍬 Growing Gummy Bear (sent home 5 gummy bears with each child)

Wednesday: 🥛 Dancing Raisins (sent home a small box of raisins with each child)

Thursday: 🍭 Rainbow Sweets (sent home a mini bag of Skittles with each child)

This has worked really well for me in the past and it didn't put me under pressure 👍

Here's another fun experiment to try with your class 🤩👇 All you need is simple ingredients and materials you would have at home.

Can we create gas? 🎈 💭

Simplified 👇
🎈 Half fill a bottle with vinegar (add food colouring you wish)
🎈 Half fill a latex balloon with baking soda
🎈 Secure the balloon end to the neck of the bottle
🎈Tip the baking soda in gently
🎈 Watch the balloon blow up

I have made the experiment steps and recording templates available to download on my website - SESE section 💻✨

Here's another great, simple and coat-friendly experiment to try with your class 🤩👇

What is the difference between solid, liquid and gas states of matter? 🤔 💭

This is a simple but visual and tactical experiment that demonstrates the differences between the various states of matter.

🎈 Fill three balloons per group
#1 water and freeze (solid)
#2 water (liquid)
#3 air (gas)
🎈 Analyse the differences by how the balloons feel, what they weigh and what happens when they are dropped

Halloween Senses 👀 🤔

This is one of my favourite science lessons around Halloween to link spooky season with exploring our senses - particularly touch and smell.

I chose items that would disguise as Halloween themed objects:
Gnocchi - slugs 🐛
Coconut - skull 💀
Raisins - bat poo 🦇
Baby corn - witches fingers 🧙
Pear halves - goblin ears 👺
Cotton balls - ghost poo 👻
Olives - zombie eyeballs 👀
Beef jerky - vampire tongues 🧛‍♂️
Banana skin - witch tongues 👅
Spaghetti - monster brains (left at home, used wet wool instead) 🧠

I hid them in lunch boxes (without lids) which I then placed inside black bin bags so they couldn't see. I labelled them as the various Halloween items and created a corresponding worksheet. (Available on my website #ad)

One by one pupils rotated through the various bags - came to feel the item and smell if they wished, before recording their guess of what was in the bag on their worksheet. Once everyone had guessed, we discussed their guesses and then revealed what was inside before recording it on the worksheet.

This is always lots of fun, plenty of giggles and perfect for Halloween week too 🤩👌

💀 It's always fun to cover the skeleton at this time of year! It's a nice and spooky science integration 🦴

We learned the names of the bones as Gaeilge (using the poem to help!), found them within our own bodies and also explored some images of the skeleton. We then did this cut and stick activity in groups (from @twinklirelandprimary) and labelled the bones. Of course we also named our skeletons who become honorary class members for the week 😅

We love a Gaeilge word map over here 🤩🎃✨

Remember to AVOID English in your Gaeilge copies 🙏⭐ Illustrations can be a great way to support student understanding of new foclóir if needed!

This can be a nice way to expand beyond the foclóir of your class programme and include necessary and relevant new foclóir for your class!

I find it great having it in their Gaeilge copies because it can be used daily as a reference material for Teanga Ó Bhéal and Scríbhneoireacht lessons and keep their focus foclóir in mind.

🧮Maths Week 📆

This week is maths week and here are a few SIMPLE and PRACTICAL ways I have engaged with MW in the past. I know the rest of the curriculum must go on 😅

🌅 Morning maths riddles: Every morning as pupils come in they are greeted with 2 maths riddles. They can use their whiteboards or manipulatives to come up with their answers. They each have a post-it on which they write their names and answers and stick to the board. Once the time is up discuss their answers and methods and reveal the answer.
👇
I made a PowerPoint of the 10 riddles a few years ago and its still available to download from my website for free 😘

💻 Online activities: Check out the ECs and the @mathsireland website for lots of fun online quizzes and events

👀 Maths eyes: A lesson early in the week based on Maths eyes - looking for maths in our school environment. Pupils also do this as a task for homework using their home environment (check out haveyougotmathseyes.com for more info and examples)

👧 Maths about Me: Nice activity to make number questions personal and fun. Shared in previous post, template available on my webiste (#ad #ownresource)

📐Measurement stations: Maths lessons turned into stations for the week that's in in it with hands on activities across the measurement strand-units, with pupils engaging in a different station each day.

🏠 Maths homework: No homework for the week other than the Maths Eyes task on Monday and maths games (pupils rotate through different games).

It may look a lot, but these are easy to implement, not overly time consuming, definitely help Maths Week to be celebrated and marked, but normal school has the chance to continue also. Win, win! 😅

🏠 Maths homework: No homework for the week other than the Maths Eyes task on Monday and maths games (pupils rotate through different games).

It may look a lot, but these are easy to implement, not overly time consuming, definitely help Maths Week to be celebrated and marked, but normal school has the chance to continue also. Win, win! 😅

📖 Word Dyslexia Day 🍎💫

I wanted to post something that would be useful and that might have some new learning for followers that would have a positive impact on the dyslexic learners they meet.

There was a lot of interest in selecting appropriate interventions when I posted recently about the SNIP programme, so I've summarised the Dyslexia Ireland guidance here. I hope it's helps 🥰 Make sure to save for the future too ⭐

💡 Gaeilge resource alert 📣

Did you know that every week Ollscoil Mhá Nuad publishes a news bulletin as Gaeilge? 🤩 Their weekly ELeathanach contains a few short, recent and interesting news articles written in simple Irish.

In the past I have printed these weekly and kept a collection so that I had access to a wide variety of texts which would link in with my themes over the year. They can also be used to explore new vocabulary, reading skills and strategies, comprehension skills and strategies, as stimulus for TÓB discussions, to support the athinsint genre, etc. It's a nice additional resource to have access to in the senior classes 👍

These are free and accessible through the Nuacht section of the Léigh Leat website www.leighleat.com 👏

🍁🌰 An Fómhar 🍄🍂

One of my favourite ways to brainstorm thematic vocabulary for Gaeilge in the senior classes is like this ☝️ Creating word images using wordart.com 💻

I would often do this at the beginning of a téama as an assessment (what foclóir do we know on the theme already?) and then again at the end (what foclóir do we know now?). It can be a great visual representation of the development 🤩

I have also used it as a method to record our 'foclóir nua'. After a few days of new foclóir input the students would create these and stick them in their copies as reference material for the remainder of the téama.

It is ideal for small groups or pair work and also is a lovely way for the children to create something that they can add to your Gaeilge display in the classroom.

The website itself is free and easy to navigate, but I recommend modeling how to add words, change font, images, etc on the IWB the first time your students use it.

⭐ Tip: If you want to use images/shapes that are specific to your theme, there are often some available but you can also have students add their own by selecting clipart online (click save image) and adding it to the platform (click 'add' in the shape tab).

✨ HAPPY WORLD TEACHERS DAY 🍎

This note sits on my desk as a quiet reminder of why we do what we do - because let's face it, there are days when we need reminding.

The truth is, it’s not about the perfect lesson, the aesthetic display or testing scores. It’s about connection. About the moments our students feel seen, safe and valued.

On #worldteachersday, I want to celebrate every teacher who gives their heart a thousand different ways each day, and changes lives in the process.

YOU are the reason classrooms become more than rooms. You are the difference 💛

✨ Know better, do better ✨ Slán SNIP 👋✂️

I’ve used the SNIP Spelling Programme for years and have even shared it here as something that seemed to work well for me. But now it’s getting permanent SNIP from my classroom 👋

❓Why did I use it?
To support struggling readers & spellers.

❓Why SNIP?
Because NEPS listed it as an effective intervention, and a quick Google search told me it was widely used and recommended. Plus it was free. No brainer, right? 🤷‍♀️ WRONG ❌

❓ Why won't I use it again?
Because I have learned a lot about this topic in recent weeks through my Masters degree 👉 Despite being NEPS-listed, it does not align with Dyslexia Ireland guidance. Educational linguist Lyn Stone categorises it's activities as mostly a mix of toxic and useless for learners, making it essentially just “busy work,” and not evidence-based instruction.

❓Why am I sharing this?
Because when I was told this I didn't do my own research. I didn't believe NEPS would misguide teachers, and so I honestly thought it was a matter of 'opinion'. Now I know, I want to share.

❓What if you or your school are using it?
Firstly don’t panic, and don’t blame yourself 🥰
✅ Read Lyn Stone’s article to understand the “why” (linked in my bio)
✅ Explore Dyslexia Ireland’s website
✅ Read the DI Selecting Interventions guidance (linked in my bio)
✅ Share this info with your school, start the conversation & advocate for change
✅ Share this post with colleagues

PSA: This isn’t an attack. I know teachers using SNIP (like I once did!) are doing so with good intent. What we need is education, not shame. 💜

👀👀 Maths Eyes 👀👀

Maths is all around us - we just need to use our Maths Eyes! 🔎✨ Such a fun activity for everyday learning (and perfect for #MathsWeek, 11–19 Oct!).

Here’s how we did it ⬇️
1️⃣ I modelled first: spotting maths in our environment, snapping a pic, and creating 1–3 maths problems based on it.
2️⃣ Children worked in groups in the classroom to create their own, then in pairs around the school.
3️⃣ Finally, they worked independently - taking photos at home 📸 and designing their own challenging questions.

Everyone got to bring their problem to class, and all students got to explore and solve each other’s photo-problems. There was such a a variety of maths questions across all strands and strand units, plus loads of creativity and engagement. 🙌

We revisited this activity throughout the year, sometimes focusing on specific strands/concepts. Each time, the children spotted even more maths hiding in plain sight. 💡

Réalta Rúnda ⭐

This is a whole class behaviour management strategy that I found easy to implement in a senior class, and that worked REALLY well.

I use it to reinforce one particular target behaviour at a time. The idea of choosing 'key target behaviours' instead of focusing on all behaviours can be more manageable for both you and the pupils. Behaviour targets should be changed once the behaviour is no longer a challenge.

🎯 The behaviour I am targeted initially through this positive reinforcement was speaking in Irish. This is something that requires a lot of encouragement at this time of year in a Gaelscoil setting.

⭐ Every morning I chose my 'réalta rúnda' (secret student), write their name on a post-it and stick it behind the jar. Over the day I monitor the class to see if the student is showing the desired behaviour. At the end of the day, if the student is successful I announce who it was and they put a star in the jar. If the pupil isn't successful, the name isn't announced to class and that pupil will get another chance soon.

🏆 The jar (bought from @molanoige1) holds roughly 20 stars. The class decide upon a reward for reaching the line, and work towards achieving it. Every time we fill the jar they get their prize, choose a new prize and start again. The target behaviour may or may not change (depending).

Even though it focuses on an individual pupil, as the class don't know who it is, it works on a whole class basis. It has been extremely effective so far, with real buy-in from the pupils ⭐

This could be used for any and every behavior 💫

🍁🌰 Autumn collage 🦔🍂

This is a nice lesson to explore Autumn colours, shape and collage.

We decided to focus on the hedgehog and the class also opted to use only triangles as they felt it was the most suitable shape for our spiky hedgehog collage 😍 However, you could absolutely open this out to woodland or autumn creatures and use different shapes or a variety of shapes.

We explore the hedgehog shape and drew a rough outline, then cut our triangles and assembled our beautiful little gráinneogs 🥹 Some wanted to outline in sharpie, some didn't.

Happy cozy season ☕ 🍂

🌈 Colour wheel mixing 🌧️

*Unfortunately apt for the current weather too 😭

I hand drew the umbrella shape, and wrote in pencil the colours for mixing in each section (not necessary)

Pupils drew their bodies underneath and started painting. They mixed the colours on the page itself within the umbrella sections. Then they painted their bodies and some added rain/puddles.

Nice easy one, but a great activity for colour mixing!

💻 Back-to-School Webinar Series 💻 #ad

Over the next three weeks I am running four webinars to support and help teachers as they prepare for the school year ahead 🥰

👀 You can join all webinars live OR view via recording link with 7 days access.
You will find the links to register & more info in my bio 🔗

🗓️ 17/09 Pleanáil an Mhúinteora
This webinar will support primary school teachers with their planning for Gaeilge. We will look at all things planning including DES requirements, your weekly timetable for Gaeilge, ST planning and LT planning. We also explore the role of the PLC in your planning. Suitable for teachers of all class levels.

🗓️ 22/09 Múineadh an Téama
This webinar will support primary school teachers with a fortnightly approach to teaching a 'téama' (theme) in a primary school classroom. I will explore how J teaches a 'téama' over two weeks in the classroom, how this fits into the PLC and how to make it a meaningful and fun learning experience for your pupils. Sample plan and resources included. Suitable for teachers of first to sixth class.

🗓️ 24/09 Áit an Leabhar Oibre
This webinar will explore the use of your Gaeilge workbook/programme as a tool in your teaching. While recognising the central role these resources can play in the modern classroom, it is often necessary to adapt the class programme to provide more meaningful and child centred learning opportunities. You will feel more confident to veer away from the programme at times, and understand why leaving pages blank/unfilled is often a good thing! Suitable for teachers of all classes

🗓️ 01/10 Forbairt Teanga le Spraoi
This webinar will explore a vast array of practical, simple and adaptable games that can be used to reinforce Gaeilge in the primary classrooms. These games will help bring your Gaeilge lessons to life, and help you provide your pupils with child-centred, fun and inspiring learning opportunities as Gaeilge.All games/activities explored during this webinar are adaptable for all classes in both T1 and T2 schools. Suitable for teachers of all class levels
Slides and game templates provided.

⭐ These webinars WILL NOT run again until 2026. #gaeilge #múinteoir

Open ended art inspired by @peterhreynolds book 'The Dot' as Monday 15th is @internationaldotday 🖌️

Start by listening to reading of the story on YouTube as the stimulus (junior and senior classes have really enjoyed this) and then start to get creative with your own dots.

The steps are simple - make a dot and keep making it bigger. Once dry add some sharpie designs and just like Vashti they can also add their signatures.

This is a feel good lesson, exploring the simplicity but endless possibilities of 'the dot' and also the relationship between colours and patterns 👏😍

Vision boards 💫

We often talk about goals and dreams at the start of a new school year, and I adore a good vision board myself, so decided to change things up a little last year. We made our own vision boards in Google classroom, printed them and stuck them into the front of our SPHE/SESE scrapbooks.

This was an absolutely gorgeous lesson, children are pure magic, they would melt your heart at times 🥹🫶

If you don't have Google Classroom this could be done digitally in a word doc, on canva, as a physical collage, a drawing activity, etc.
