Seachtain na Gaeilge

St Patricks Day

Would you hire any of these Leprechauns? What do you think of our Shamrock characters? Its lovely to have colourful art to brighten up the halls and classrooms again.

Seachtain na Gaeilge and other activities - Senior Room

Recently we celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge. This year we revised Amhran na bhFiann, learned some Seanfhocals, completed a booklet revising the main themes in Gaeilge, and created some fun artwork for Lá Féile Pádraig. We’re also learning Glaoch na hÉireann (Ireland’s Call) which we will perform next week (video evidence to follow!)

We have also cover the topic of water safety in SPHE using the PAWS programme and learned the ABC of Water Safety. Having completed the genre of Report Writing, we wrote reports on our favourite animals and finally, we revised the meaning of and reason for, the season of Lent, in the run up to Easter, writing about some of the ways we can be our “Best Self” during this time.
