Welcome to Seomra Ranga, the Hub for Primary School Resources. For the overseas visitors “Seomra Ranga” means “classroom” in the Irish language.

There are 50 answer cards in this pack for pupils to create the questions, four per A4 page.

Mamaigh na hÉireann
This new resource, published to coincide with Science Week 2023, is aimed at making pupils aware of the variety of mammals that can be found in Ireland. The pack consists of 20 different photo posters of Irish mammals as Gaeilge using high quality photos which would make a great display in the classroom or school corridor.
Irish Mammals Trail
The purpose of this resource is to create a fun and active lesson for Science Week, where pupils get out of their desks to complete the task. Suitable for junior/middle classes, the cards on the trail ask the question: “Is this mammal found in the wild in Ireland?” Pupils simply have to answer yes or no to each question. There are 26 picture cards on the trail.
Working Scientifically
This updated resource explains what it means to work scientifically and it outlines the key skills involved in working scientifically in the classroom. The resource has a header poster, three explainer posters followed by 24 flashcards with vocabulary for the key skills involved.
