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….

Filmstrips Project

Jun 17, 2010 | ,

Just to update everyone on what has happened with this project to date. Many thanks to all who contacted me since I last posted  requesting old Buntús filmstrips as well as history/geography/nature/science filmstrips. I received a great response. To date I’ve received more than 300 filmstrips! I’ve got almost a full set of Buntús filmstrips, except for the odd one here and there and I received none for junior infants (Imir agus Abair) – perhaps there may not have been any for that class? I have the full set of teacher manuals for the Buntús also.

What was surprising was the other filmstrips that were unearthed – lots of really interesting geography, nature and local history. Unfortunately, what is missing for these are the teacher notes, without which I feel the resource may not be as good. So if anyone has any notes to accompany any of these filmstrips could you please let me know. Now the filmstrips just have to be digitised and converted into Powerpoint resources! Hopefully, over the summer they will begin to appear on the Seomra Ranga website. Again many thanks to all for your interest and support.

It’s Called Dyslexia

Jun 17, 2010 | ,

“It’s Called Dyslexia” is a new book recently published by Irish publisher O’ Brien Press. It’s written by Jennifer Moore-Mallinos, and was originally published in Barcelona, Spain. The colourful book is told from the point of view of the central character, Sarah. She tells of her life at school and how Dyslexia affects her ability to learn at school. She recalls her excitement about how she was looking forward to reading books all about dinosaurs, only to discover that she had difficulty reading the books. She talks about her emotions and frustrations as she grapples with learning to read and write. She says things like, “It’s very confusing”; “I feel sad”; “Why can’t I read and write well?” She then explains how there is hope for the future. She says, “I have dyslexia, but I’ll improve”. She explains how she gets some extra help from her teachers and her parents and how she learns new skills and strategies to help her cope with dyslexia. She recalls how she discovers a special talent that she has for writing poetry and gains such confidence that she reads her poetry to the entire class. read more…
