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….

ICT in the Classroom eBulletin – Issue 3
This is the third 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,

Seomra Ranga’s 5th Birthday

Time to celebrate! Seomra Ranga is five years old today. I can’t really believe that! I still remember that summer of 2007 when I was putting the original site together, really using it as a way of organising for myself the resources I had put together and seeing if it had the bones of a website. I honestly never thought that I’d still be working on it five years later! However, it has been such a huge success that it’s hard to imagine what I did with all this time before I began working on Seomra Ranga! read more…
Help My Kid Learn

I just happened across the Help My Kid Learn website during the week and wondered how it came about. It seems that as part of the national literacy and numeracy strategy, the Department of Education and Skills (DES) asked the National Adult Literacy Agency to highlight the role that parents and communities can play in improving children’s literacy and numeracy, read more…

Show Me App

There are a number of whiteboard apps in the App Store but the one I’m getting great use out of at the moment is called Show Me. I think that part of the reason why I like it so much is its simplicity. It’s fairly basic, without the bells ‘n whistles, but that is what I and many teachers want. You have a choice of seven different pen colours to draw with (it is best to invest in a rubber-tipped stylus to use with this app). There is an eraser to manually erase some of your work. read more…
