The Kevin and Kate Food Adventures Book Series: Teaching and Learning Opportunities for the Early Years (6.30 - 8p.m.)

Local Kilkenny Author, Olivia Goodwillie will introduce course participants to her beautifully illustrated books which aim to show young children where food comes from, as well as promoting a love of reading. Through hands on activity, Olivia and Sandra O’ Neill, lecturer in Early Childhood Education in DCU, will lead participants in exploring the potential of the books to teach aspects of the themes of Aistear, the Primary Curriculum and early mathematical work, in particular. Course participants will receive copies of the books to bring back to their settings.

This course is suitable for Early Childhood practitioners and Primary Teachers from Infants to Second Class.
