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….

Autumn Grid
This seasonal Autumn resource is aimed at pupils in middle/senior classes working on co-ordinates from the Shape and Space Strand of the Maths curriculum. It is based on pupils’ ability to work out the co-ordinates of a particular Autumn image on the grid. Pupils should have knowledge of these aspects of maths before engaging in this exercise.
Matching Trees and Leaves
This resource is aimed at pupils in junior classes, SEN pupils or pupils who need some practice on visual discrimination and revision on colour. The resource, based on trees and leaves, aims to help pupils to use visual cues to match each leaf to its matching colour tree. There are twelve trees/leaves for pupils to match.
Visual Art Elements
This set of ten different Visual Arts display posters introduces pupils to vocabulary needed to discuss a piece of art that they have created or a piece created by someone else. Its aim is to create an awareness of these terms which are commonly used in the artistic community. The terms can be taught incidentally or explicitly when engaging with a piece of visual art.
Cluiche Boird
This resource consists of 40 colourful posters as Gaeilge on the theme of playing a board game in the classroom. Its aim is to provide pupils with the vocabulary necessary to play a board game through the medium of Gaeilge and to support natural conversation phrases for playing the game.
Tissue Paper Weaving
This Tissue paper Weaving lesson can be a little “fiddly”, so it may be better to do it with pupils in middle/senior classes. However, the finished product in this lesson creates some really nice effects when displayed. This lesson could be done as part of the Construction Strand of the Visual Arts curriculum.
