Welcome to our class page!

Our second P5 topic is ‘The Celts’. Throughout this topic we will be focusing on life during Celtic times. We will be exploring Celtic myths and legends, investigating how the Celts lived, learning some Irish dancing, making comparisons between then and now, and creating Celtic designs!

Here are some activities that you may wish to try at home to support your child’s learning at school.

• Go to the library and look for books about the Celts and Celtic legends.
• Talk to your child about your memories of Ireland when you were growing up or any old stories about Ireland.
• Talk about early Ireland and how the country has changed over time.
• Find a map of Ireland and identify the counties of Ireland with your child.
• Talk to your child about places you have been to in Ireland.
• Go for a nature walk to find plants or animals that are unique to this part of the world.
• Ask your child to show you his/her Irish dancing.
• Research and share some Irish songs/stories with your child.
• Ask your child to share their knowledge with you on the Celts.
• Provide your child with scrap materials to create art work relating to this topic e.g. a Celtic round house.

Don’t forget to have lots of fun!
