Rebecca: The Irish Teacher

Former expat, who returned to ireland with a passion for quality, purposeful lessons, top teaching resources and links.

I am regularly asked for recommendations on different teaching resources, online training, online job application sites and links available to teachers. As a teacher myself, I’m always on the look out for new interactive, engaging sites or resources to use in my classroom.

As a result I’ve put together a list of recommended teaching resources and links that I’ve either personally used (in most cases) or which have come highly recommended to me by people I trust and work with.

I will add to these lists as I come across new resources or links that I enjoy, so don’t forget to check back often for new material.

Interactive & Engaging Links

This has potential to be a long section. I love an interactive game/quiz or an engaging and motivating approach. These links will be broken down into different subjects and will include links to websites that I have used, and found beneficial, personally.

Hit the Button – my absolute FAVOURITE game for practicing the Times Tables in a fun, interactive way! It also has a section for number bonds, doubling & halving and division facts. It’s a big hit in my classroom.

Nrich – a fantastic website, with fully prepared, “out of the box” mathematical investigations. These activities really encourage the children to think, work together and boost their problem solving skills. A big thumbs up from me!

White Rose Maths – I couldn’t but hear about White Rose Maths through social media and through word of mouth. I had to check it out! This website offers an approach which fosters higher order thinking in Mathematics. What I like about this approach, is that it takes into account that all children have different starting points in different topics in Maths and allows all children to make progress.

Toy Shop Money Game – an excellent game for revising and familairsing children with money. The site allows you to change the currency too, depending on where you teach. This game challenges children to select the correct coins to make certain amounts, as well as giving change. I just love how easy it is to use really!

Topmarks – I’ve referenced two games from this site already above, but this site is jam packed with lots of wonderful, interactive games that can suit a range of Maths topics. Check it out!

Mangahigh – What a website! This site allows you to create log ins for all your students, set homework/classwork/challenges and children can also compete against other children across the globe. The activities really work well in connection to the areas you’re covering in Maths and the children LOVED it! It also provides you with an analysis of how your children are doing, meaning you know which areas they need support with. A very useful and informative site for teachers in terms of activities and assessment!

Times Tables Rockstars – This site allows practice of Times Tables in paper form or online. Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced program of daily times tables practice to boost the children’s recall speed. Each week concentrates on a different times table, meaning their knowledge of the Times Tables is constantly progressing. The website offers a free trial, so get over there and give it a go!

The Literacy Shed Blog – If you follow my blog posts or Instagram, you’ll know how valuable I think this resource is. This blog is one of the most ‘content rich’ blogs, in terms of English, that I’ve come across. Using the Reading Vipers has truly changed my children’s comprehension skills for the better. It’s an approach that’s colorful, creative and most importantly- PURPOSEFUL! Cannot recommend this site enough for its ideas, thought-provoking clips and teaching techniques!

Vocabulary Ninja – Another fabulous, fabulous site which focuses on the teaching of vocabulary. The site is equipped with vocabulary packs for different topics, along with my favorite- Word of the Day . The advance of the technological world is fantastic, but it’s seeing an impact on the lack of vocabulary our children know. With this fun resource, children can be exposed to rich vocabulary and their vocabulary bank will broaden as a result.

Talk4Writing – This has been an absolute god sent for our writing this year. The technique of encouraging children to TALK before they write seems so simple, but my oh my, the results are outstanding. We were not fortunate enough to receive training on T4W due to tight budgets, but we did buy the book and used the website’s free resources where possible! If you’re looking to change up how your children write in school, then T4W is the way forward!

The Teach Hub – a fountain of resources for Whole Class Guided Reading! What I like about this site is that the packs are ready to download and teach with little to no prep involved! They’re challenging and engaging for the children and my class have for a lot out of the units we’ve tried. I’m an affiliate for this company, if you use code REBECCA at checkout, you get 10% off. See my review here.

Phonics Play – I have been a teacher in the upper school for the last number of years, but while on placement, this website was my go to! It has a wealth of resources from lesson plans to interactive games. It promotes the “Revise, Teach, Learn, Apply” technique, which I always found successful for children retaining phonics.

Pobble365 – This is an excellent resource and a site I use regularly. “Everyday, you’ll find an interesting picture, writing prompts and philosophical questions to spark a lesson. Use on your smartboard screen, or print them out with our easy-to-use PDFs.” These images or prompts can be used in your writing lessons or in your Guided Reading lessons- they’re very useful and versatile! We were also lucky enough last year to receive training from the wonderful staff at Pobble. Check them out!

Tig Tag – This is a lovely site that aim to support teachers in teaching outstanding Science (and Geography) lessons, that brings the subject to life. The site has a wealth of film clips, resources and plans to aid you in making your Science lessons the most effective.

STEM – If you haven’t heard of STEM, then you must be living under a rock. Anytime I search for engaging science resources online, the word ‘STEM’ jumps out at me from the search results. STEM aims to get children INVOLVED in every part of their science lesson. “From enrichment activities to finding volunteers, find out how STEM Learning can support you.”

Science Sparks – Looking for inspiration in science experiments? This site contains numerous different experiments to compliment your science topic. They even have a search bar, stating “what are you looking for?” to bring you to the experiment that’ll suit your lesson best. They believe: “Science based activities offer endless creative learning opportunities and are a great way to spend time with your children. We’ve had some of our best chats while drawing on filter paper and making patterns in milk.”

If like my, you like to get the children to research certain topics to create informative posters, it might be worth taking a look at this page  to ensure children know how to find real facts! It’s worth them knowing that the internet isn’t always factual! Develop your children’s research skills- it’s a skill in itself!

I have recently started using Dabbledoo Music to teach my Music lessons. When I say it’s a god sent, it’s a god sent! I am useless at teaching Music, but this site combines interactive, engaging activities for the whole class that requires NO prep from you!

What I like about this site is that they mention which curriculum objective you’re covering on each module, leaving it easy to add to your planning! My children now ADORE Music lessons and I feel so much more comfortable knowing that they are getting valuable Music content each week. I’m an affiliate for this company too.

Where and how you apply for your teaching post abroad is crucial! I’ve gone into detail about which sites to use and which to avoid in my post:  A Review of #TeachAbroadSites . Check it out and please don’t rush into a job- the nightmare schools do exist!

Buying Individual Teaching Resources

• Teachers Pay Teachers  – My recommendation for general teaching resources is pretty clear –  For the last number of years, I’ve bought multiple resources from this site. From fonts, to creative art packs, to displays, to scaffolding resources. TpT has it all and it is also the resources platform of choice of most teachers today.
• TESResources – a site filled with free and paid resources. Some excellent subject specific content here, however, it’s mainly tailored towards the British Curriculum.
• MrsMactivity- this is a fabulous site with lots of different resources across all subjects. What I like about this site is that it is very reasonably priced and the resources are very multi-sensory orientated (big plus in my eyes). There is a wealth of themed resources too, which can be super useful for means of activities or displays around that theme. For sure, check out this site and to get 10% off your joining fee, use the code REBECCA at checkout. This is an affiliate link! See my full review here!
• Twinkl – this site is growing and growing as time goes on. It’s excellent for displays and differentiated resources if looking for challenges for your pupils. However, I feel their PowerPoints and lesson plans can be very ‘wordy’ and monotonous! Just my opinion- apologies! I guess that’s why they say as teachers we need to adapt things to fit the needs of our class.
• Mash.ie – another site filled with free and paid resources. It’s relatively new and if you’re teaching in Ireland, it’s the “go-to” site in my opinion. Some really enthusiastic sellers on there, with a real personal touch to the products on sale!
• LessonPlans.ie – another excellent Irish site filled with an array of products ranging from primary to secondary school. What I like about this site is how easy it is to use, making your search more successful and your precious time saved. Big fan of this site too! For any lesson plan, teacher training advice or blog posts related to teaching- check them out!

Top Blogs to follow

• The Literacy Shed Blog – (reasons why mentioned above).

Scotland and Ireland rock formation dating back 'hundreds of millions of years' shows historic global freeze, study says

The snowball Earth theory suggests the planet was covered by ice during at least two extreme cooling events, which sparked complex life.

By Dylan Donnelly, news reporter

Friday 16 August 2024 04:56, UK

A Scottish and Irish rock formation dating back hundreds of millions of years could be evidence of what scientists call snowball Earth, a new study says.

The snowball Earth theory proposes that the planet's oceans and land were covered by ice during at least two extreme cooling events between 2.4 billion and 580 million years ago.

These are speculated to have sparked the development of life on Earth - and now researchers believe the Port Askaig Formation in Scotland and Ireland was likely to have been laid down between 662 and 720 million years ago, during such an extreme cooling event.

Scientists point to a section of exposed rock on the Scottish islands called the Garvellachs, which they say shows the transition into snowball Earth from a previously warm and tropical environment.

Elias Rugen, study co-author and a PhD candidate at UCL Earth Sciences, said their research on the rock formation marks "the first conclusive age constraints for these Scottish and Irish rocks, confirming their global significance".

He explained most areas of the world are missing the layers in the rocks which record a tropical environment and mark the transition, because the ancient glaciers scraped and eroded away the rocks underneath.

"But in Scotland by some miracle the transition can be seen," Mr Rugen said.

For the new study, the research team analysed samples of sandstone from Port Askaig Formation as well as from the older, 70m-thick Garbh Eileach Formation underneath.

The researchers said the new age constraints for the rocks may provide the evidence needed for the site to be declared as a marker for the start of the Cryogenian Period - which scientists believe was when the development of complex life on Earth started.

Senior author Professor Graham Shields, of University College London (UCL) Earth Sciences, said: "These rocks record a time when Earth was covered in ice.

"All complex, multicellular life, such as animals, arose out of this deep freeze, with the first evidence in the fossil record appearing shortly after the planet thawed."

The study was published in the Journal of the Geological Society of London.

Teaching your child at home

Home schooling, educating your child at home, registering to teach your child at home, support for teaching your child at home, state exams and third level education.

You have a constitutional right to educate your child at home. The Irish Constitution recognises the family as the primary educator of the child and defines the duties and responsibilities for parents and the State in the education of children.

If you choose to teach your child at home, often called home schooling or home education, you do not need a formal teaching qualification. You do not need to follow the national curriculum, but you must ensure that your child receives a certain minimum education.

You can choose a suitable approach to teaching your child based on their learning needs and what is appropriate to their age, aptitude and ability.

The information in this document is for people who choose to teach their child at home on a long-term basis. You can also find the answers to some frequently asked questions about home schooling .

To teach your child at home, you must:

• Provide a minimum education
• Register with TUSLA's Alternative Education Assessment and Registration Service (AEARS)

Minimum education

Section 14 of the Education (Welfare) Act 2000 provides for parents to educate their children in places other than recognised schools, such as in the home or in private schools. You do not need to follow a national curriculum. However, the Act states that parents must ensure their child receives a certain minimum education.

A recognised school is a school overseen by the Department of Education. An independent school (or non-recognised school) is a school that is not overseen by the Department of Education.

There are detailed Guidelines on the Assessment of Education in places other than recognised schools (pdf) . The guidelines provide a working definition of a certain minimum education . They describe home-based education and how it is assessed.

The education should:

• Be suited to your child's age, ability, aptitude and personality
• Be responsive to your child’s individual needs and take account of the areas of learning that interest your child
• Ensure that your child's personal potential is enhanced and not suppressed
• Address the immediate and future needs of your child in the context of the cultural, economic and social environment
• Provide a reasonably balanced range of learning experiences, so that no one aspect of your child’s learning is emphasised to the exclusion of others
• Develop your child's personal and social skills and prepare them to be a responsible citizen
• Contribute to your child's moral development
• Provide opportunities for your child to develop their intellectual capacities and understanding

The basic skills that are part of a minimum education include development and progression in oral language, literacy and numeracy. A child would be at a serious disadvantage if their home education programme did not develop these basic skills.

Register with Tusla

You must register your child with Tusla if you plan to teach them at home.

If your child attends an independent school, you should apply to register them through the school. Registration is a legal obligation, but it is not automatic. Parents or guardians are responsible for making an application on behalf of their child. See ‘Registering to teach your child at home’ below.

You apply directly to Tusla's Alternative Education Assessment and Registration Service (AEARS) to register to teach your child at home.

AEARS can send you an application form and a copy of the Guidelines on the assessment of education in places other than recognised schools (pdf) . You can find more in frequently asked questions .

Tusla then assesses your application to register.

Tusla interview and assessment

When you return the application form, the person who will carry out the assessment will contact you. They will arrange a time and date to interview you. This assessor is experienced in education and is authorised by Tusla to carry out the assessment.

The assessment will focus on:

• The details of the education being provided to your child
• The materials used in the course of the education
• The time spent providing the education

The interview can take place in a venue of your choice and will be based on what you have said in your application. This is called the preliminary assessment . Your assessor will complete a draft assessment report and a copy of this will be forwarded to you for comment. Following the report, your child’s name will either be entered into the register or your case will be referred for a comprehensive assessment.

If Tusla is not able to decide whether you are providing a minimum education, a comprehensive assessment will be carried out. This is more in-depth. The assessor spends some time with you, observing how you teach or work with your child, inspecting your educational materials and talking to your child.

Appealing a decision

If Tusla decides that you are not providing a certain minimum education for your child, it can refuse to register or remove your child’s name from the register. It must inform you of its decision in writing.

You have 21 days to appeal against the decision. The Minister will appoint a committee to hear the appeal and decide on the case.

An appeal committee is made up of a District Court judge, an inspector and another person. You and the assessor are invited to make submissions. Depending on their decision, the committee will:

• Uphold the decision of Tusla to remove or refuse to add your child’s name to the register
• Require Tusla to add your child’s name to the register
• Require Tusla to add your child’s name to the register if you agree to comply with any requirements the appeal committee considers appropriate.

If you educate your children at home or in a place other than a recognised school, you are not entitled to financial support from the State.

Home Education Network

The Home Education Network (HEN) is a support and lobby group for home educators in Ireland.

HEN aims to help parents use available resources to develop educational techniques suitable for each child’s needs. Members exchange ideas and experiences of home education through regular meetings and newsletters. Its website has links to research and online information about home education. The network also operates a library service of books on home education for members.

State examinations

Your child can sit Junior and Leaving Certificate examinations at any school by registering with the school in early January of the year that your child will take the exams. Further information is available from the State Examinations Commission .

Third-level education

If your child does not sit State examinations, then entry to third-level education in Ireland is difficult. The normal route into Irish third-level institutions is through the Leaving Certificate.

However, it may also be possible to enter third-level education at aged 17 or 18 without the Leaving Certificate by interview only. You will need to approach your chosen institution to discuss this possibility. There are a variety of courses for the 16-plus age group which are accepted as valid for entry to third-level courses.

You can find out more about further and higher education and training courses from Qualifax - The National Learner's Database .

She Got Kicked Out of Canada. Their Story Didn’t End There.

AJ Aquino met Dr. David Poon while visiting Toronto from Ireland in 2017. During the pandemic, she visited him and was turned away. And so began their efforts to help other couples reunite.

• Share full article

By Tammy LaGorce

Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon was living in Toronto and studying to be a public health physician in the spring of 2020 when he had a premonition that something awful was about to happen.

Canada had started clamping down on international visitors days after the World Health Organization declared a worldwide Covid pandemic on March 11, 2020 . On April 10, Dr. Poon’s girlfriend, Alexandria Jasmin Aquino, of Bray, Ireland, had boarded a plane to Toronto for a visit both were sure had been cleared by authorities.

“That’s when the ‘Oh, no’ moment happened,” Dr. Poon said.

Ms. Aquino, who goes by AJ, had worked as a frontline nurse in Dublin at the time. She “had made it all the way here — we had our feet in the same country,” Dr. Poon said. But before they could celebrate or even set eyes on each other, a border guard confiscated her passport and rerouted her on the next flight back to Ireland.

“I was devastated,” Dr. Poon said. “I was isolated, the world was seemingly collapsing, and the person who gave me so much hope had been treated like a criminal and sent out of the country.”

A month later, the two formed Faces of Advocacy, a grass roots group that would eventually attract 11,000 members in its efforts to reunite couples and families separated by pandemic border restrictions.

Dr. Poon, 38, and Ms. Aquino, 28, met on Tinder in July 2017. Ms. Aquino had no dating app experience, but she was feeling adventurous while on vacation with her family in Toronto and signed up on a whim. “It was impulsive, like getting a new haircut,” she said. She swiped right on Dr. Poon because of his profile photo. In it, he was wearing autographed Spider-Man underpants, his arm around the Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee. “I thought, wow, this guy has to be one of a kind or some kind of maniac.”

Ireland’s Fontaines D.C. Want to Romance You With Their Fourth Studio Album

In the two years since Fontaines D.C. released their third studio album, Skinty Fia , the Grammy-nominated Irish band has stayed steadily busy, supporting Arctic Monkeys on a major North American tour, headlining gigs of their own, and performing for a sea of rowdy concert-goers at Glastonbury. Now, the band’s fourth record, titled Romance , is out this month.

When I meet frontman Grian Chatten and lead guitarist Carlos O'Connell at the Arlo Hotel in Williamsburg, they’ve only been in the country for a few days, and are still coming down from playing The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon the night before. Yet their Irish charm is in high supply ahead of another gig, at Warsaw Concerts in Greenpoint, later that evening. “I like Hell’s Kitchen and just off of Times Square, where things are a little bit gnarly and the facade starts to wither away,” Chatten says, reeling off his favorite places in New York. (Moments later, he’s interrupted mid-thought as a hotel guest compliments his jaunty limited-edition Simone Rocha Crocs.)

The concept for Romance slowly emerged while the band was on the road with Arctic Monkeys. Chatten vividly remembers the end of that recent tour: he lost his passport (yet again) during their final gig in Mexico, after which they headed directly into the studio to workshop the new album. In an industry where many artists work with a team of writers, Chatten proudly handles all his lyrics himself. “Writing is the part of the job that feels least like a job to me,” he says. “Writing is the one thing that lets me air everything out into my career. It’s kind of like stretching the legs. I don’t find it difficult; it kind of just happens.” More discomfiting to him is the notion of having to perform someone else’s material. “I like that stuff to be in my head and to write it out into the world. I don’t like it to be out into the world already, ’cause there’s kind of too much pressure to render it faithfully.”

The 11 tracks on Romance were forged from a constellation of ideas exchanged between the bandmates (who also include guitarist Conor Curley, bassist Conor Deegan III, and drummer Tom Coll), mostly backstage at concerts. It reflects the more layered sound that they’ve developed in recent years: Since bounding onto the scene as a punk outfit in the late 2010s, they’ve gradually wound their way toward a mixture of grungy breaks and hip-hop-inspired percussion, with secondary notes rooted in electronica—a sonic world loosely reminiscent of early Deftones.

Of all the songs on their new record, Chatten’s favorite (not to be confused with the closing track called “Favourite”) is, without a doubt, “In the Modern World.” “I always wanted to write that song but never knew how,” Chatten explains. “I remember the moment that song came to a point; I arranged the strings and stuff on my laptop at home in my flat. After I listened to it and closed the laptop, I was like, Ah, that’s what I’ve been trying to do for five years . I always wanted to write a song that sounded like Lana Del Rey could maybe sing on it, you know?”

Compared to the poetic, charismatic Chatten, the fuschia-headed O’Connell is more mellow and mysterious. “On that tour [with Arctic Monkeys], because it was a support tour, we had much more time to ourselves,” he explains, carefully hand-rolling a cigarette. “We rarely get to be in the same room for a long time, where we all have nothing to do. So, we essentially started short with the instrumentation, which defined where this album went. We had a couple of acoustic guitars and our voices.”

For a group of 20-something guys, their creative process is remarkably analogue: among their most critical producing tools is a big whiteboard. “We take it out from storage, wipe everything from the last album off it, and just start pouring every idea down,” O’Connell says. At one point, they had about 35 songs in consideration, ranging from 22-second phone recordings to finished melodies.

“You don’t really know what the album, at that point, will become. We could have made totally different albums outta that,” he notes. One that didn’t make the cut “had this real ’80s vibe to it, with this offbeat clap. It felt a little bit like Dua Lipa or something,” he adds, singing a bit of the intro to “Levitating” for emphasis. (O’Connell, it should be noted, is a girl dad, though his 18-month-old daughter, Vega, is still a bit young for Future Nostalgia .) “Starburster,” the explosive first single inspired by a panic attack Chatten had in St. Pancras station, and the cinematic and melancholic title track, “Romance,” eventually helped to set the tone for the rest of the album.

When I arrive at the gig later that evening, the venue’s cool Brooklynite-esque crowd feels shot through with a little extra testosterone. There is also a special guest in attendance: Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys.

Chatten and O’Connell vary in their pre-show jitters, anticipating playing “Favourite,” “Starburster,” and “Romance” live for the first time. “[ The Tonight Show ] was the first time we played ‘Starburster’ live,” O’Connell says. “I honestly was nervous, which I didn’t realize until just before we performed, because playing it live isn’t second nature yet. I don’t get nervous about songs I’ve toured because it’s effortless to get into a state of flow. But with something you haven’t performed in front of people before—I don’t know how to react to a mistake, for example.” Chatten, on the other hand, jokes that he should be fine as long as he buckles his belt on his pants properly.

Suffice it to say that neither one has anything to worry about. As Fontaines D.C.’s set begins, and Chatten steps out in a New York Yankees jersey (wardrobe malfunction-free), the crowd roars.

Classiebawn Castle

Dubbed the Emerald Isle, Ireland is famed for its lush, emerald landscapes, from the towering Cliffs of Moher to the rugged mountains, sparkling lakes, and cascading waterfalls of Killarney National Park .

Its rich history spans thousands of years, from early Gaelic Ireland to the Great Famine of 1845. So, as you’re sauntering along its winding roads and majestic coastline past majestic mountain peaks, craggy cliffs, and ancient woodlands, here are six of the finest hotels to visit en route.

Dating back to the 1800s, Hayfield Manor is a boutique hotel nestled within beautiful walled gardens in the city of Cork .

On the edge of Lough Corrib , the original 18th-century Glenlo Abbey Hotel sits within a 138-acre estate in the West of Ireland , just two miles from Galway city .

Downstairs, saunter into Palmers Bar , named after Glenlo Abbey’s 1897 owners, an influential milling family in Ireland .

Wrapped in gold paisley wallpaper with an ornately carved oak bar, cream upholstered armchairs, a white marble fireplace, and silver candelabra, sip a sexy Palmer’s Sour with Connemara single malt whiskey, vanilla liqueur and passion fruit.

5. Belleek Castle

Belleek Castle

Tucked away in Belleek Forest in The Wild Atlantic Way of County Mayo , known as Maritime County , the grand neo-gothic Belleek Castle was once the ancestral seat of the first Earl of Arran , Sir Arthur Gore , whose family expanded the Estate over many generations to a whopping 33,000 acres stretching to the banks of the Moy Estuary .

Swan through its double oak neo-gothic doors under a stone archway as you glide into a reception with medieval tapestries, stone floors, two golden thrones, and a snug log burner.

Its Armada Bar was inspired by the captain’s quarters in a Spanish Armada galleon with 17th-century oak balks, gas-style lanterns, and reclaimed wood from shipwrecks.

While its cozy lounge is wrapped in magnolia with a cream marble fireplace, antique dark oak armchairs, a long case clock, a baby grand piano, grand tapestries, and a crystal beaded candelabra.

Amble up cantilevered stone stairs to your burgundy Manor Room dressed with an antique canopied four-poster bed, El Greco oil paintings, gold gilded mirrors, a bronze chandelier, thick burgundy curtains, and brushed-gold upholstered armchairs gazing out of bay windows overlooking the Estate’s 1,000 acres of woodlands.
