Seachtain na Gaeilge

15th Mar 2025

Is breá linn an Ghaeilge a labhairt ar scoil agus i rith Sheachtain na Gaeilge bhí deis iontach againn ár dteanga agus ár gcultúr a cheiliúradh le chéile!

Bhí an-spraoi againn le himeachtaí iontacha ar siúl i rith na seachtaine, ina measc:

  • Tráth na gCeist sa halla (Rang 3 – Rang 6)
  • Ceardlann amhránaíochta le Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin (@kerrycowboy) ag foghlaim ‘Óró, Sé do Bheatha Bhaile’ (Rang 3 – Rang 6)
  • Frásaí an Lae - frása nua gach lá do gach rang.
  • An damhsa ‘An Dreoilín’ sa chlós, le gach duine ag baint taitnimh as!
  • Amhránaíocht, ceol, filíocht agus scéalta sna ranganna éagsúla
  • Lá Glas Dé hAoine - éadaí glasa don lá mór!

Rinne na páistí sár-iarracht an Ghaeilge a úsáid timpeall na scoile. Bhí seachtain spleodrach againn, lán d’imeachtaí taitneamhacha spreagúla.

We enjoy speaking Irish at school, and this week gave us a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our language and culture together during Seachtain na Gaeilge.

Throughout the week we enjoyed lots of fun activities, including: 

  • A quiz through Irish in the hall for 3rd to 6th class
  • A singing workshop with Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin (@kerrycowboy) for 3rd to 6th where we learned 'Óró, sé do Bheatha Bhaile'.
  • 'Frása an Lae' - a new Phrase of the Day in every class.
  • An Damhsa An Dreoilín – a fantastic dance in the yard for everyone.
  • Singing, music, poetry, and stories in different classes
  • Lá Glas - on Friday we dressed in green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

The children made a huge effort to use their Irish around the school.  We had an incredible week filled with fun, laughter and learning.
