Seomra Ranga has been successfully providing tried and tested resources for primary school classrooms since 2007. Since that time, the site has gradually built up a strong following amongst educators as a repository of quality teacher-created resources.

Walker Éireann
Walker Éireann, an imprint of Walker Books, has recently teamed up with Foras na Gaeilge to bring readers four of their best picture books created by some of Ireland’s foremost book makers, in Irish. This development is a great addition to reading material in Irish for primary school aged children. To begin with, Walker Éireann chose books by four bright and brilliant Irish authors and illustrators – Martin Waddell, Sam McBratney, Chris Haughton and Niamh Sharkey – to be translated into Gaeilge. The purpose of the Walker Éireann imprint is to be both a way to celebrate these great authors’ work, and to build the perfect Irish language library for little ones. read more…

Seachtain na Gaeilge 2013
Tá Seachtain na Gaeilge 2013 beagnach linn agus tá súil agam go bhfuil múinteoirí bunscoile ag déanamh pleanáil chun imeachtaí Ghaeilge a eagrú sa seomra ranga i rith na seachtaine. (b’fhéidir go mbeadh sé níos fearr “Coicís na Gaeilge” a chur air mar tá sé ar siúl ar feadh an coicís Márta 4 – 17.) Má tá leideanna ag taisteáil uait chun an Ghaeilge a spreagadh sa seomra ranga, tá neart acmhainní ar an suíomh do Sheachtain na Gaeilge: read more…
