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.

The new Seomra Ranga Christmas
website is now online at:
http://www.christmas.seomraranga.com
There are lots of new resources on the site
including signs, posters, flashcards, word walls, loop
cards, visual arts and lots more. If anyone has Christmas
resources that they would like to share with others, e-mail
them to me and I'll put them on the site.

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

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.
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

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.
