New Christmas Website
A sneak preview of the site!
I’m in the final stages of the development of the new Christmas website whcih will be ready soon. It’s called Nollaig Shona and will be where all of the Christmas classroom resources will be located. This is simply a plea to everyone to start a search through your own PC/Laptop to find any Christmas-themed resources that you may have created over the years – worksheets, posters, Powerpoints. I’m always looking for new material and would be delighted if teachers would share their Christmas resources on Nollaig Shona. If you have material that you are willing to share with others, please email it to me at info@nollaigshona.ie so that I can get it up on the new site before launch.
