Since that time, the site has gradually built up a strong following amongst educators as a repository of quality teacher-created resources. The resources on the site, which support all areas of the curriculum, are arranged in accordance with the curricular provisions of the Irish primary school….

Your Song as Gaeilge
Seo na focail agus an fís-scannán don amhrán “Seo É D’Amhrán” (Your Song). B’fhéidir go bhfuil an fonn ar eolas ag na daltaí sna hardranganna. (beidh sé ar eolas ag an múinteoir, cinnte!) Mar sin, b’fhéidir go dtaitneoidh sé leis na daltaí agus beidh suim acu chun é a fhoghlaim. Bheadh sé an-oiriúnach do Sheachtain na Gaeilge freisin. Is féidir na focail a híoslódáil thíos.

Tráth na gCeist 2013
Ocht babhta le sé cheist i ngach babhta, babhta réitigh chomh maith le freagraí go léir ar 127 sleamhnán Powerpoint. Tá an tráth na gceist seo an-oiriúnach don CBI (IWB) sa seomra ranga nó i halla na scoile. Tá sé oiriúnach do pháistí sna meán ranganna agus sna hardranganna. I mo scoil fhéin eagraítear é go bhfuil dalta amháin ó rang 3,4,5 agus 6 ar gach foireann. Rinne mé iarracht go mbeadh ceisteanna éasca agus deacair i ngach babhta. (Tá súil agam nach bhfuil botúin ag baint leis na freagraí, ach má tá botúin ann, bígí cúramach agus tá brón orm!)
