📚Our Reading Corner is Winter and Christmas ready! 📚⛄🎅

Lots of lovely books in the blue classroom to read for the month of December!

We have started Literacy Power Hour In 1st and 2nd Class.

Power Hour is a literacy based hour which is being used to teach literacy in 1st and 2nd classes.  This is done through station teaching. We have 4 stations - 2 reading stations, 1 handwriting station and 1 station which deals with word work i.e. spellings, phonics, grammar etc. 
Power Hour takes place three times weekly in 1st and 2nd classes.

Buddy reading

Buddy reading began this morning, the children in the middle room each have a buddy in the senior room who will listen to them practice their reading for ten minutes each day during the next six weeks!

Notice from Tipperary Libary

Tipperary County Council Library Service  will run a reading adventure for children during the summer holidays. The Summer Reading Adventure is a free programme and we would be delighted to welcome all children and their families to join in. We are very happy to work with teachers and families to encourage children to continue reading and writing during the summer months.

Each child who registers for the adventure at their local library or Summer Book Bus  chooses books to read during their summer holidays. They will receive a Summer Reading Card to record their progress along the way and a library reward stamp will be added to their reading card at the library after each book read. Children will be encouraged to continue reading throughout the programme with gifts including bookmarks, wristbands and activity sheets. At the end of the adventure, all children who participated are invited to attend an award event at which they will be presented with their award certificate. Children and families will also have access to fun reading activities on the Summer Reading Adventure website at www.librariesireland.ie/summer-reading-adventure. The resource includes lots of fun activities, games, Talking Ebooks, reading tips, book suggestions and funny interviews with children’s authors and other celebrities.
