Bhí lá spreagthach ann le scaifte mór daoine (80) ó na hearnálacha: luathbhlianta Gaeilge; tumoideachais agus luathbhlianta.

Labhair Áine Andrews faoi cháipéis nua - ábhar tacaíochta d'earnáil na luathbhlianta Gaeilge forbartha ag Altram maidir le CCEA Revised Curricular Guidance for Preschool Education 2017. Bhí an plé foscáilte bríomhar le cuid mhór ceisteanna agus moltaí.
Bhí taispeántas grianghrafadóireacht a thaispeán sa
ol sa naíscoileanna ann fosta - bhí rannpháirtaithe ábalta tumoideachas a fheiceáil ag feidhmiú trí na grianghraif.
Míle buíochas don mhaoinitheoir (Páirtíocht Chúram Leanaí), na cainteoirí agus na rannpháirtaithe.
Altram's conference - Irish-medium Early Years - the Benefits and Challenges - took place on 27.10.2017. It was an inspirational day with a large crowd of people (80) from the: Irish-medium early years; immersion education and early years sectors. Professor Antonella Sorace from the University of Edinburgh gave a fascinating insight into bilingualism and Gerry Conway's input was useful and relevant with a clear plan for the sector going forward.
Áine Andrews spoke about a new document - a support document for the Irish-medium early years developed by Altram relating to CCEA Revised Curricular Guidance for Preschool Education 2017. The open discussion was lively with a lot of questions and suggestions.
There was also a photography exhibition which showed life in the naíscoileanna – participants were able to see immersion education in action through the photographs.
Many thanks to the funder (Childcare Partnership), the speakers and participants.
