Useful Websites: Primary

The best place to start any search for websites suited to the Irish curriculum is, of course, Scoilnet http://www.scoilnet.ie

Meanwhile, below are some of the websites used by teachers in the CBI Project.

• http://home.freeuk.net/elloughton13 - Snaith Primary School's "Thinking Things" - the sections on History are particularly good
• There is a wonderful collection of freeware activities (some online, some downloadable) at http://www.senteacher.org/main/files.php I particularly liked 'Touch Chimes' (for Music). Maths, ICT, Art, English and Science are also covered
• For Literacy, Maths and Science Activities, visit http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/interactive/ (thank you, Peter!). They even have interactive jokes and games!
• Starfall (http://www.starfall.com/) is an excellent resource (good for Literacy and Auditory Discrimination) for young readers.
• Equally good is Scholastic's "Clifford the Big Red Dog: Interactive Storybooks" at http://teacher.scholastic.com/clifford1/flash/phonics/index.htm
• The Blobz Guide to Electric Circuits is online at http://www.andythelwell.com/blobz/ (this site uses Flash). There is also a very good guide (a research dissertation?) to the pedagogical theory behind the Blobz site at http://www.andythelwell.com/blobz/documents/BlobzGuide_Report.pdf
