 Top Marks
Provides a huge number of engaging resources for varying levels. Mapped to the UK curriculum but relevant to Irish schools too. Resources are mainly intended for use with interactive whiteboards and overhead projectors. Organised by subject, age group and category so easy to find.

Leprechauns

 Scoilnet was recently contacted by the National Leprechaun Museum which has opened in Dublin (Jervis Street). It is a centre dedicated to exploring Irish folklore (and leprechauns) and is very welcoming to school tours. They sent us a PDF worksheet to get us thinking about the little people.
