That’ll Teach You: Informational Text


Have you been listening to That’ll Teach You? It’s a fantastic education podcast created by two Irish primary teachers, Jane Costigan and Hugh O’Connor… two of the most delightfully effervescent podcast hosts!
There are 54 superb episodes in their library already with a wealth of phenomenal guests. I’m so delighted to have participated in episode 55.

(Fun fact, Jane is a former MIE student of mine!)
