Seomra Ranga has created some new resources for the website using a very simple free online piece of software called "Wordle" (http://www.wordle.net) Wordle allows you to create "word clouds" which displays text in an interesting and unusual fashion.

You can create your own Wordle resources on the Wordle website or you can view the ones created by Seomra Ranga HERE>>>>

Seomra Ranga is pleased to announce that it has received permission from Irish Water Safety (IWS) to include their powerpoint resources on this site for teachers to download freely. These resources should be of great benefit to primary school teachers to use in the classroom. These resources were created by IWS and remain the copyright © of IWS.

There are eight powerpoints in all, four in English and four as Gaeilge. They deal with water safety under four themes: boating, swimming, the home, on the farm. They are all suitable for use in the SPHE curriculum under the Myself Strand, Safety and Protection Strand Unit.

These resources can be downloaded HERE>>>>>

Seomra Ranga has produced a collection of A4 sized phonics posters in full colour. There are more than thirty posters in the collection at the moment. These will be added to on an ongoing basis.

To complement the phonics posters, there are also loop cards to accompany each poster.

The Seomra Ranga Tobernalt Holy Well web site is now up and running. The site is about Tobernalt Holy Well, Sligo, one of numerous holy wells around Ireland. This could be linked to Penal times in history, to history of the faith in Ireland, or it could be the basis for the study of a local holy well. Downloadable classroom resources are provided. Teachers are also welcome to upload their own holy well resources. The website address is:

The Seomra Ranga Blog is now set up and running. It's very much in its infancy as its a learning curve for me. However, it's hoped to develop it progressively over the coming months. Because Seomra Ranga is all about providing resources for teachers, you'll find links on the blog to sites that provide resources to download, free software and Interactive White Board resources. The blog address is:

It was suggested that teachers could send in photos of their locality to use as a history/geography resource for comparative study of another town/city. I thought it was a great idea and a new photo section has been added.
