How it maps to the curriculum
- 5-6
- OSIE: Stair
Strand: Staidéir áitiúla
Strand unit: Féastaí agus féilte
Content objective: Ba chóir go ligfeadh acmhainn seo do pháiste:
- éirí eolach ar bhunús raon féilte in Éirinn agus i dtíortha eile agus ar na traidisiúin a bhaineann leo
- roinnt de na searmanais, scéalta, finscéalta, filíocht, ceol, damhsaí agus cluichí a bhaineann leis na féilte sin a iniúchadh, a phlé, agus a thaifeadadh
Suggestions for use: Good site for background information for teacher. Probably not interesting enough for display in the Primary classroom.
