Homework and learning fun for 3-7 year olds!

About

Hello, My name is Cathriona Mernagh. I have been teaching the under 6′s for the last eight years. I am passionate about teaching and am constantly learning.

I have a huge interest in Literacy and Literacy Difficulties. I recently graduated with a Masters in Education (Special Needs) and conducted a lot of research into promoting positive attitudes to reading and how to teach reading. As part of my research I tutored many children and have discovered some games and activities that can really make a positive impact on learning.

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Early Childhood Studies, a Graduate Diploma in Montessori Education and am a qualified Primary School Teacher.

I hope that my passion and knowledge will allow you to help your child succeed at learning.

We have signed up for your emails and look forward to receiving lots of new ideas and information. For the record, I love learning too, so we have something in common. Kind Regards & Thanks, Isabelle Bates.

      Hi Isabelle, I am really glad that you like my website!!! I think that sharing is very important and I use my website to share my games and tips with all my friends. Is there anything that you would like me to put on my website? What do you like best? Games you can print, games to play on websites, things to make…? I’d love some ideas.
      Thank you so much fir taking the time to leave a comment.

    Hi Miss Mernagh! I love your idea for the website and I am a parent of an almost 7 and almost 5 year old at the moment! I’m heavily involved in my primary school and learning for my kids and I think you are doing a great job sharing your ideas and passion here – looking forward to seeing how it all develops and maybe sharing (stealing!) a few ideas for my school website which is in development! Well done and congratulations! Liz M.

      Hi Liz,
      I am just delighted to hear that you like my work! I am so passionate about teaching and learning and spent a lot of time preparing games and worksheets. I have lots more that are awaiting ” approval” by my class!!! They are a super team of testers and are honest too ;)
      It would be great to be featured on your website when you get it up and running. Please let me know that the url is and I will check it out.
      I would love to hear your suggestions on what I could include or do to improve my website.
      Kind regards,
      Miss Mernagh :)

    I love your website as well-! I am having trouble getting to your information on using five and ten frames–I know they were older posts –they are in your tag cloud but when I pull the entry up to try and view/print–it won’t go any farther than your introduction. HELP

      Hi Terrie,
      So sorry to hear that you are having problems accessing my Maths Games. Click on “maths games” on my home page, under the categories section. When the Maths Page opens “Follow me on my 5 Frames Adventures in Mental Maths” is the first post that will appear. Click on the actual title of the post and it should open for you. I have just double checked that it is not a broken link.
      If you are still having difficulties please email me at info@missmernagh.com and I would be delighted to email you a copy of the post along with all of the printables.

      Miss Mernagh :)
