5th/6th Year French Notes Master Class Series
2023-08-26 09:30 - 12:30 | online event
Our Masterclasses are designed for those who like to do a 3-hour class during one or each of the school holiday breaks.
For 5th/6th years, the emphasis of the Master Class series will be
divided into the four linguistic skills of…
Reading
Writing
Speaking
Listening
Students are invited to participate as much as possible during the
classes, as this has been shown to be the best way of maximizing
grade potential in language learning. The reading comprehensions
are taken from various sources, and amended to suit the language
requirements of the Leaving Cert French Exam. The listening
section uses audio clips from our website and have been designed
to specifically meet the curricular requirements of the Leaving Cert
French Syllabus. The oral section will give students sample
questions and answers and students will practice these during the
classes. Our teacher, Liz, is a former state examiner and author of a
Leaving Cert Textbook, and so the material covered will be very
much pertinent to what you need to know.
The written section will focus on…
Translation
Opinion questions
Diary Entries
Narrative writing
For 5th/6th years, our Master Classes will bring students through
the four linguistic skills of…
Reading
Writing
Speaking*
Listening
There will also be…
Grammar
Vocabulary
*As the Oral Component of the exam is usually completed in or around Easter, the April and June Master classes will not cover oral work, and will concentrate on Exam technique instead.

Her Sport is a digital media platform giving young girls and women a voice in sport. We aim to empower women in sport at all levels by increasing visibility and highlighting the disparity in sport. We are committed to levelling the playing field for girls and women in sport, by increasing opportunity, support and coverage.

The Programme

With plans and programmes turned upside down, Her Sport wants to give Transition Year students the opportunity to get involved in making a difference, to become part of a legacy and to make real change for women in sport.

Her Sport have designed an exciting national Transition Year initiative for Transition Year students to participate in a campaign to get real commitment and create change for women in sport, as well as developing valuable life skills. The programme gives students the opportunity to get involved in the following:

Journalism & Video:
While females are currently under-represented in sports journalism, there are growing opportunities for more women to be involved. Get creative and develop your journalistic and/or videography skills by showcasing a female sports star or displaying what sport means to you. The top submissions will feature on the Her Sport platforms! Find out more and how you can enter in the information pack below!
Health & Nutrition for Sport

The Commitment Challenge
Become part of the legacy, as we create real commitment across Ireland. Each ‘commitment’ you secure is step forward for women’s sport as we increase the visibility and create a cultural shift. Find out more and how you can enter in the information pack below!
