Interactive educational content
At rte.ie/goose, there will be a huge range of educational resources (in Irish and English) for teachers, parents, and students, including lesson plans, activities, and science-based fact sheets. These resources are designed to complement the series and provide additional learning opportunities both in the classroom and at home from our friends at Green Schools Ireland.
Through this, children will deepen their connection to the natural world by solving puzzles, learning more and tracking the migration patterns of the geese. They will also be able to submit their own Brent Goose sighting which will be displayed for others to see.
