Language
You can help your child to learn at home by:
- listening to your child and encouraging him/her to tell you more about different things that interest him/her, for example asking about a pastime or hobby.
- reading with your child and asking questions to check understanding.
- asking your child to tell you some new words/sentences he/she has learned at school.
- watching programmes and cartoons on TG4 with your child.
The children will engage with the New Primary Language Curriculum from September 2017. The Curriculum applies in all school contexts—English-medium schools, Gaeltacht schools, Irish-medium schools and special schools. The curriculum for junior and senior infants is aligned with the principles and methodologies of Aistear: the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework. You can learn more about the New Language Curriculum by clicking on the image on the left.

- encouraging your child to estimate by, for example asking him/her to guess how many steps are taken on a segment of a journey.
