I NGRA DE 2 – SENIOR INFANTS

Is é I nGrá Dé an tsraith Oideachas Reiligiúnach nua do bhunscoileanna in Éirinn. Chun cuidiú le curaclaim nua, ceadaithe ó Chomhdháil Easpag na hÉireann a thabhairt isteach, cuirfear I nGrá Dé ar fáil in ionad Beo go Deo, sraith a tugadh isteach don chead uair i 1997. Leanfaidh an t-athsholáthar seo ar feadh ceithre bliana amach anseo.
Tá gach clár sa tsraith I nGrá Dé roinnte i dtéamaí, a thugann deis do mhúinteoirí déileáil leis na téamaí éagsúla agus baint a thógáil as pleanáil agus comhtháthú traschuraclaim i múineadh an Oideachais Reiligiúnaigh. Tá na téamaí éagsúla deartha le go leanfaidís idir dhá agus ceithre seachtaine. Chomh maith le Nótaí an Mhúinteora agus na bileoga oibre i Lámhleabhar an Mhúinteora (ar féidir fótachóip a dhéanamh dóibh), cuirfear sraith chuimsitheach d’acmhainní ar líne ar fáil saor in aisce freisin, lena n-áirítear léaráidí a théann le gach scéal, gearrthóga físe agus naisc ghréasáin le haghaidh tuilleadh staidéir.
Gach seachtain, iarrfar ar thuismitheoirí agus ar bhaill teaghlaigh cabhrú lena gcuid páistí rud éigin a bhaineann leis an chlár a dhéanamh sa bhaile. Ar an gcúis sin, cuirfidh leabhar an pháiste, I nGrá Dé, léaráidí, scéalta, dánta agus gníomhaíochtaí do theaghlaigh ar fáil, le déanamh le chéile sa bhaile. Tabharfar cuireadh do thuismitheoirí agus do leanaí freisin, labhairt agus guí a dhéanamh faoin méid a bhfuil á fhoghlaim acu ar scoil. **************
Grow in Love is the new Religious Education series for primary schools in Ireland. Introducing a new approved curriculum from the Irish Episcopal Conference, over the next four years Grow in Love will replace the Alive-O series, which was first introduced to primary schools in 1996.
Each Grow in Love programme is divided into a number of themes, which will allow teachers to take a thematic, cross-curricular approach to the teaching of Religious Education. Each theme is designed to last between two and four weeks. As well as the Teacher’s Notes and photocopiable worksheets featured in the Teacher’s Manual, a comprehensive set of free online resources will also be available, including illustrations to accompany every story, video clips and weblinks for further study.
Each week, parents and families will be asked to help their children to do something related to the programme at home. For this reason, the Grow in Love Children’s Book will feature illustrations, stories, poems and activities for families to do together. Parents and children will also be invited to talk and pray about what is being learned in school.
