This blog was originally set up as a class blog for 2nd class,
here in Ireland, so a lot of the content reflects that.
I have since moved to Learning Support and so
the content can relate to classes Senior Infants to 6th.
I see that, at the moment many of the visitors to this blog
seem to be teachers preparing for school in September,
so here are some links to content that may be useful.
