Welcome to Seomra Ranga, the Hub for Primary School Resources. For the overseas visitors “Seomra Ranga” means “classroom” in the Irish language.

Seomra Ranga has been successfully providing tried and tested resources for primary school classrooms since 2007.

A member of staff in my school recently organised an eye-catching and colourful display board in the entrance foyer to our school. It was called “Our School Community”.

Getting pupils to work in groups is a great methodology to take advantage of in the classroom. However, in order for it to be most effective, it is helpful to allocate pupils a role to play in the group discussion, otherwise the usual confident pupils may take over, and the pupils you want to encourage to take a more active part may stay in the background.

Leabhair Labhartha

A nice new addition to the bank of resources on the Scoilnet website is a collection of short books “as Gaeilge”. They are aimed at younger pupils in the primary school, perhaps for pupils as far as Rang III. In terms of content and presentation, the books are basic enough, however they will be fine to assist pupils in practising their léitheoireacht Ghaeilge. The language used in the readers is also quite basic but that is suitable for many younger pupils. read more…
