 elcome
to the Seomra Ranga website. For the overseas visitors "Seomra Ranga"
means "classroom" in the Irish language. The aim of the website is to
share practical resources for the primary school classroom on the web.
The downloadable resources provided on the site are simply personal
resources that I have put together over the years. Most of them I have used in my teaching in the classroom.
I
have attempted to arrange the resources in accordance with the
curriculum provisions of the Irish primary school. Some sections of the
website have more resources than others so I'm looking for teachers to
upload and share their own resources to fill in the gaps.

Election time is fast approaching with the impending Local Elections, European Elections and the two Dublin By-Elections. This provides the teacher with a great opportunity to use the election atmosphere around us to teach about Ireland's democracy and the electoral process.
Seomra Ranga has produced some classroom resources to enable the teacher to effectively teach about the electoral process. They are contained in an "Election" special page, which also includes flashcards, posters, worksheets and links to political parties and to other election resources. View all these resources HERE >>>>

All of the Power Point resources on the web site have now been gathered into one easy-to-use collection.
The collection includes resources in the curricular areas of Gaeilge, Maths, History, Geography, Visual Arts, English, Religion and Science.

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:
www.holywell.seomraranga.com

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:
http://seomraranga.com/blog/

The links section of the
website contains a comprehensive list of websites suitable for
implementing the different aspects of the primary school curriculum. At
the moment there are links to over 600 education related websites across
all areas of the curriculum. The
websites are just suggestions and teachers/schools should make their own
judgements as to whether the sites are suitable for the children in
their own classroom/school. Please let me know if there are links you
think should be included on the site.

Resources that I couldn't
identify under a subject heading are contained in the miscellaneous
section of the website. This section contains a range of different
resources for the classroom including posters and signs for the
classroom, quizzes, newsletters and handouts. This section also includes
resources for the administration of standardised testing in the
classroom as well as resources relating to ICT.

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.
To view these photos click here:

If people have any photos of their locality that they're willing
to share, simply e-mail them to
me as attachments with an explanation of each photo and I'll
make them available.

Keep an eye out for the
bibliography in some sections of the website. This includes suggestions
of books that I have found helpful in the classroom - poetry books,
Christmas plays and resource books for teachers.

I have been involved in the
Write - A - Book Project for many years and have delivered courses in
connection with the project in Blackrock, West Dublin,
Carrick-on-Shannon and Sligo Education Centres. It has been one of the
most worthwhile projects that I have implemented in the classroom. I
have gathered many resources in connection with the implementation of
the project in the classroom and these are available for download on
this website. Even if you do not participate in the project in your
local Education Centre, the resources are appropriate for use in the
teaching of creative writing in the classroom.
