The Senior Room...

*At 9.00 the children start off the day with a news item which they tell to the class, this can be something which has happened at home, on the farm or something from a newspaper.
*For the maths the children are split into groups with each group working at its own level, extensive use of the Teacher Aide helps maintain a high standard of learning.
