Doodle Den Scoil Chaoimhín.
We are delighted to be offering the Doodle Den programme to students in the junior end of the school again this year. Doodle Den is an after-school literacy initiative funded by the National College of Ireland that aims to engage and empower children by combining fun and child-centered activities such as art, interactive games as well as reading and writing. We are very grateful here at Scoil Chaoimhín to have been selected to run the programme as it can be transformational for children.
Although Doodle Den is primarily a literacy-based scheme it is also proven to be effective in improving school attendance, family library use, family reading and children’s social skills. Doodle Den aligns with the values here at Scoil Chaoimhín as it practices a holistic approach to integrated development of the child. It will be running throughout the year with the exception of some weeks surrounding the holidays. It is run after school on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday until 4.10pm. All parents of children in the junior end of the school are welcome and encouraged to enquire as to a place for their child in the programme. If you would like more information or would like to avail of one of the limited places please contact us at scoilchaoimhin@gmail.com.
An Dátheangachas/Bilingualism
An Dátheangachas
Tá súil againn go mbainfidh na páistí sochar as buntáistí an oideachais dátheangaigh taobh amuigh den bhunscoil. Cuimsítear i measc na mbuntáistí atá aitheanta sa taighde idirnáisiúnta: Buntáistí an Churaclaim (feabhas ar chumas acadúil, níos éasca an tríú agus an ceathrú teanga a shealbhú),Buntáistí Cumarsáide (an dátheangachas, litearthacht in dhá theanga (léamh agus scríobh in dhá theanga), cumarsáid níos forleithne (teaghlach, pobal, cairde, fostaíocht), Buntáistí Cultúrtha (ag foghlaim faoi agus ag glacadh le cultúir eile), Buntáistí Cognaíocha (buntáistí smaointeoireachta, cruthaitheacht, íogaireachta cumarsáide),Buntáistí Carachtair (féinmhuinín, tuiscint ar an bhféiniúlacht), Buntáistí Airgid (buntáistí eacnamaíochta agus fostaíochta).
The advantages of bilingualism
We hope that the children will benefit from their bilingual education after their time in primary school. The benefits identified in international research include Curricular Benefits (improved academic ability and easier acquisition of a third and fourth language), Communication Benefits (bilingual reading and writing, wider communication with family, community, friends, employment), Cultural Benefits (learning about and accepting other cultures),Cognitive Benefits (creativity, communication), Character Advantages (self-confidence, a sense of identity), Economic Benefits (economic and employment opportunities).
