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….
Please have a browse through the new site and support our work in developing new resources by becoming a Member. Individual and School Memberships are available.

W. B. Yeats Powerpoint
A new resource on W. B. Yeats has been added to the Seomra Ranga website. Yeats is, arguably, Ireland’s greatest ever poet, although he was also a dramatist and author. His life story is fascinating, coupled as it is with a changing period in Irish history. This resource, in Powerpoint format, is suitable for senior classes in primary schools, perhaps even classes in post-primary schools. It could be used in conjunction with English poetry as well as Irish history. I hope that teachers may find this resource of benefit to them and their pupils in the classroom.
Off We Go Books
“Going to the Supermarket” is one of a series of books written by Avril Webster. The books were originally written with her own son, Stephen who has special needs, in mind. They are aimed at special needs children, especially those on the autistic spectrum, as well as young children. The intention of the books is to introduce special needs children to everyday social situations, thereby enabling them to cope with a new situation and change in their routine.
“Going to the Supermarket” is a 12 page illustrated book which shows a young girl and her mother on a trip to the supermarket. Each page in the book has a large, clear, colourful illustration with text underneath. It clearly outlines to the reader what will happen on a trip to the supermarket, as well as introducing pertinent language eg. trolley, checkout, shopping list etc. read more…
Buntús Filmstrips
Would anyone happen to have any old Buntús filmstrips and/or accompanying teacher manuals in their school that they don’t want. I’m interested in seeing if they could be digitised/recycled/changed into Powerpoints etc. and made available to teachers on the Seomra Ranga website. I’m willing to have a try at this to see if it will work. I know that some of the stuff will be seriously outdated but with so little Gaeilge resources out there, it’s worth seeing if we could get any benefit out of these old filmstrips. I’ve had a look for some of these filmstrips in e-bay and elsewhere on the ‘net to see if there are any but without any success. If anyone has any of these filmstrips/teacher manuals that they are willing to part with, I’m willing to pay for the cost of postage. You can let me know at info@seomraranga.com I recall that schools also had other nature filmstrips, so if anyone has any of those, I’m also interested in seeing if a resource can be created from those.
