One issue that has been raised with me relates to the opportunity for cross-curricular learning in different environments. More could be done by taking some of the curriculum outside by conducting physical education through Irish or other things. Children might have to come appropriately dressed for such activities, in tracksuits and not pinafores, as it were. Has there been any discussion about adapting the curriculum in order to deliver learning in a cross-curricular way that respects that we are now in a changed environment?
