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. 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….


New Missal Mass Responses

Religion

Just last week, changes were introduced to the Catholic Mass texts, especially the congregational responses. The changes are designed to be more faithful to the original Latin texts on which the Missal is based. Some changes in wording are small, with different emphases in places. This resource is for teachers to help pupils learn the new responses and become aware of them.

He represents Donnybrook, Sandymount, Ranelagh, Rathmines, Rathgar, Milltown, Terenure, Harold’s Cross, the south east Inner City, Ringsend, Irishtown and Ballsbridge.

Guest Post – Class Dojo

Class Dojo

Nigel Lane teaches in St. Corban’s BNS, in Naas, Co. Kildare. He is very interested in technology and is a regular contributor on blogs and on Twitter. Earlier this year, he co-authored a book called “Diary of the Tweople“, a Twitter user’s diary for June 3rd 2011. He recently came across Class Dojo, a classroom management tool and readily agreed to do a review for Seomra Ranga.

I came across this classroom behaviour management tool thanks to one of the people I follow on Twitter, unfortunately I just can’t remember who. I was very impressed with how it looked and so I signed up straight away in order to see how it might work for me. read more…
