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.

Seomra Ranga Wins Edublog Award
Seomra Ranga has won the prestigious Best Individual Blog at the 9th annual international Edublog Awards held online last night. It was a truly unexpected win as I had presumed that the might of the larger US and UK blogs would prevail. There were originally 139 nominations from all over the world. This was whittled down to a shortlist of 44 blogs which were then put to a public vote. Again I thought that the greater education communities in the UK and US would easily surpass the votes I could muster from supporters in Ireland. read more…
ICT in the Classroom eBulletin – Issue 7
This is the seventh of David Ganly’s ICT in the Classroom eBulletins. David teaches in Donabate Community College and he says that the eBulletin started off as an idea he had to engage and encourage teachers in his school to use ICT in the classroom. After putting the first edition together he soon realised that it would be more beneficial if he made it open for any teacher to use, so he then decided to circulate it through his email contacts, the CESI list and Edmodo.

Book Review: And the Blood Flowed Green
We really enjoyed this futuristic and funny book.
It’s probably more suitable for boys than girls and those with an interest in space and science-fiction.
The action is fast-paced and the illustrations really add to this.
The plot is forever twisting but there’s lots of humour in them too.
We loved all the different creatures and planets. read more…
Bill’s New Frock
This resource provides a chapter by chapter list of questions for the Anne Fine novel “Bill’s New Frock”. The novel tells the story of Bill Simpson who wakes up one morning to find that he’s a girl, and worse still, his mother makes him wear a frilly pink dress to school. How on earth is he going to survive a whole day like this? These questions could be done orally, they could be used as comprehension questions or they could be used as a quiz at the end of reading the novel. A wordsearch based on the novel is also included. The novel is probably suitable for Rang I – III. read more…
