There was great excitement around the school last week as we celebrated our annual Seachtain Na Gaeilge.
Each class took part in various events and projects which culminated in a special Gaeilge performance for assembly.
Junior Infants treated us to a little show of the story of An Buachaillín Sinséir (The Gingerbread Man)
Senior Infants told us a poem all about Teidí Beag Álainn.
1st class learned the Haca as Gaeilge and not only performed it for us but taught the whole school how to do it too!
2nd ad 3rd, who is never afraid of a challenge. learned and performed the song ‘Tar Liom Go hÁrainn‘ from start to finish!
4th and 5th class showed us their musical skills by performing Faolán Faolán with chime bars.
5th and 6th class treated us to a spectacular performance of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs through Irish!
All of the classes put in so much effort to each of their performances and should be incredibly proud of themselves!
We finished the week with a very exciting leprechaun hunt in the garden! The infant classes hand to hunt out six leprechauns and match them to their numbers but it was a little more difficult for the bigger boys and girls who had to find 12 hidden pictures in the garden and use the information found on each to crack the secret code! Great team spirit was in the air and the children were all good sports!
