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….

At the Beach Photo Pack
With the arrival of the sunny days of summer, teachers in junior classes especially will be discussing the theme of Summer with their pupils. This pack of 36 display photo posters is aimed at providing pupils with striking visual images, which are all labelled, which can be used for talk and discussion and written work in the classroom.

Book Review – The Pain in my Chest
The Pain in my Chest by Áine Murray, illustrated by Bronagh Lee. I was immediately drawn to this book by its title and the eye-catching front cover (yes I judged a book by its cover). I read this book initially to myself, my son (12), then to a junior class (infants to second) and finally to a senior class (third to sixth). I teach in a multi-grade setting.
Summer Clothes Image Mat
With the theme of Summer well under way in many classrooms throughout the country, these seasonal image mats might be a welcome addition to talk, discussion and writing on the theme of Summer Clothes, especially in junior classes. This resource also includes “Listen and Colour” and “Listen and Label” activities based on the image mat.
