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….

CVC Word Matching 01
This resource is aimed at infant pupils or SEN pupils at the beginning of work on phonics. It is based on their knowledge of CVC words with medial A. The resource could be used as a teaching tool or alternatively, it could be used as a form of assessment. There are 12 CVC Word cards for pupils to match the word with the picture.
Hessian Pictures
Hessian is a sackcloth-like fabric that is generally used a backing for floor carpets. It is also great for using in the “Fabric and Fibre” strand of the Visual Arts curriculum. This series of five progressive lessons using hessian fabric can be done over a three/four week period with pupils. A video explainer is included.
Counting Hallowe’en Zombie Fingers
Focusing on the numbers 0-10, this seasonal numeracy resource can be used to help younger pupils to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of basic number. Pupils have to count the number of Zombie Fingers on each card and attach the correct number in the blank box.
Watercolour Prints
This Visual Arts resource combines using watercolours and poster paint as the media for the lesson. In a two-step process, pupils firstly create the background watercolour design in contrasting/complimentary colours and then use poster paints to create the repeated pattern on the grid.
Counting Hallowe’en Bats
Focusing on the numbers 0-10, this seasonal numeracy resource can be used to help younger pupils to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of basic number. Pupils have to count the number of hanging bats on each card and attach the correct number in the blank box.
Colour Blue Resource Pack
This Colour Blue Resource Pack is intended to support a topic of work on the colour Blue in junior classes. It contains 17 different files with over 200 pages of resource material. The pack contains resources for display in the classroom as well as lots of activities for pupils to complete to consolidate their concept of the colour blue.
Autumn Leaves Tracing Booklet
This resource contains a 25-page seasonal booklet aimed at the development of fine motor skills in younger pupils. Pupils have to trace the Autumn leaves and then colour them. It gives pupils lots of opportunities to practise fine motor and colouring skills.
Glitter Art
It’s funny how sometimes the easiest Visual Arts lesson turns out to be the most effective! Each time I did this lesson with whatever age group I was teaching, it was invariably one of the most popular lessons. It’s also interesting to get the pupils to give their finished picture a name and to explain to the class why they gave it that name. It’s always amazing what the pupils can interpret from their own picture.
