Seachtain na Gaeilge 2015

Bhí Seachtain na Gaeilge 2015 ar siúl ón 1ú-17ú Márta agus bhíomar an-ghnóthach leis i rang 2 agus 3. Bhí bosca ar ghach bord le haghaidh cártaí glasa, agus bhuaigh na páistí ceann de na cártaí seo gach uair a chuala an múinteoir iad ag caint as Gaeilge. Comhghairdeas don ghrúpa glas a bhuaigh an duais, mar bhí 33 cártaí ina mbosca ag deireadh na tréimhse.

An tseachtain seo chaite, bhí tráth na gceist ar siúl againn sa rang. Bhí réimse fairsing ceisteanna le freagairt agus d’éirigh go maith leis na páistí go léir. Bhí an bua ag an bhfoireann “Tine” le scór iontach-29 pointí as triocha! Comhghairdeas do Louie, Matthew, Abagail agus  Gráinne a bhí ar an bhfoireann.

D’fhoghlaim na páistí amhrán nua darb ainm “Tóg Amach Mé” i rith Seachtain na Gaeilge freisin. Is leagan Gaeilge é seo den amhrán “Wagon Wheel” agus thaitin sé go mór le gach duine.

Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil ar na páistí go léir as an iarracht a rinne siad leis an teanga do Sheachtain na Gaeilge.

“Is fearr Gaeilge briste ná Béarla cliste”

Seachtain na Gaeilge took place from the 1st-17th of March and we were very busy in second and third class. Each group had a box for “green cards” and children could win a green card each time teacher heard them speak as Gaeilge. The Grúpa Glas won this competition, with 33 cards in their box at the end of Seachtain na Gaeilge.

Last week, we had an Irish table quiz in class. There was a wide range of questions and all the children did very well at the quiz. The team “Tine” won, with a fantastic score of 29/30. Congratulations to Louie, Matthew, Gráinne and Abagail who were on the team.

The children also learned a new song as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge called “Tóg Amach Mé.” This is an Irish language version of the classic song “Wagon Wheel”. Everybody really enjoyed this. 

Thanks to all the children for the great effort they made with their Irish over Seachtain na Gaeilge and remember, it’s better to use the cúpla focail you have than to speak English all the time!
