Dear Parent,

 

I hope you find these links useful.

This post is intended to make finding

these three posts as easy as possible;

 

1. Helping your child with Reading

2. Helping your child with Maths

and ‘the honours course’;

3. How you can help your child’s ‘higher order learning’ using Bloom’s Taxonomy

PS. 1. Greystones Library is running

a ‘Reading Passport’ promotion

to encourage reading over the summer.

Why not call in and sign your child up! 

 

2. Finally ‘Smart Futures’ are running

a technology project competition

which may appeal to your child’s interests;

Smart Futures.ie – Competition

‘Smart Futures’  is an enterprise

which aims to introduce students

to the potential of a future

working in the areas of

science, technology,

engineering or maths.

 

This project involves choosing an area to study.

It could be about a career in this area or about

someone, past or present who work in this area.

 

To present this project

you could design a website or webpage,

‘an animation or a PowerPoint presentation, a music video or a game.’

 

This project is aimed at students at primary or second level.

It may appeal in particular to any student involved in working with Coder Dojo.
