Scoil Chaitriona Junior National School is a large junior primary school in Galway. During a PCSP maths training session, I spoke with one of its teachers who has developed a brilliant blog on all the Maths activities she has done with her class. The teacher has uploaded photographs of all the activities in action and is a wonderful resource for anyone wanting to see some excellent maths activities in action. The school has used ICT to establish a fantastic resource for teachers, parents and pupils alike. The teacher told me that she spoke with one of her pupil’s parents who exclaimed that it was wonderful that her grandparents in France were now able to see how their little granddaughter was getting on!

I developed a piece of software to help children in 1st class with problem solving in mathematics. The download file is just over 4MB in size so it is recommended to use a broadband connection. In return for using the file, I would appreciate any comments you might have about it.

Four pupils from Our Lady of Lourdes National School in Bunclody have written some online stories.  The stories range from dirt-biking to looking after horses.  Have a look at them by visiting their web site.
