Seachtain na Gaeilge As part of our Seachtain na Gaeilge celebrations, at least two pupils from each class level were invited to say a ‘cúpla focal as Gaeilge’ to the whole school over the intercom. The children made a terrific effort while promoting the language, speaking about themselves & their clothes, giving weather reports, talking about their families & interests and discussing the all the various events currently happening in school!

First up were the 3rd and 4th class girls. With over 120 girls running, the start was chaotic with everyone battling to be first to take the turn. With a … Read More >>
