Dear Parents,
We will use this page to make ideas available for the children while they are at home. There will be a variety of ideas which will apply to all classes and some which are specifically for different age groups.
Many publishers have extended their resources to parents and students as they work from home. The books used in Nicker NS are mostly from CJ Fallon and Folens. There are online resources which are interactive which accompany some of these books.
The following are some of the direct links to these sites:
CJ Fallon
To help you and your pupils during this difficult time, CJ Fallon would like to make you aware of a number of free online resources. All our digital resources are now located on the Quick Links page. You can reach it from our CJ Fallon homepage (top right hand corner).
You and your pupils can enjoy FREE access to the Rainbow Oral Language Programme from 3rd to 6th Class. You will find the online lessons, the fortnightly notes and the Teacher’s Resource Book to guide you through the new curriculum here. You will find more information on the programme here.
The new Sounds Like Phonics programme (for Junior Infants to 2nd Class) also has a range of accompanying interactives that you can use FREE with your pupils here. You will find more information on the programme here.
