    We do buddy reading, where 1st work with 5th and 4th with senior infants. We also do shared maths where 6th and 3rd work together. We do shared reading in senior infants and 1st, where the child reads at home with their parent and also shared maths in second class. We also take children with high ability and exceptional abilty for group work.

    Sorry to hear about your schooldays -- nightmare.
    Both schools mentioned above sound great. I tnink mixing ages like that is such a good idea, and for kids to help each other. It's far more 'natural'.
    Would love to hear more about the school that actually recognises and deals with kids of high ability. Most of the time they are not considered for any extra attention or help because 'they know it all'.

    Moonsun, sadly the DES don't make resources available to schools to support exceptionally able students, though it does recognise them as having an SEN too.Have a look at giftedkids.ie
