We are celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge this week in St. Ultans.
Here is a list of some of the activities the children will be taking part in during the week:
Siopa Gaeilge: All children are encouraged to use as much Gaeilge as possible throughout the week. Staff members will give airgead (money) to children they see making an extra effort. The children can use their ‘airgead’ to buy small prizes from the Siopa Gaeilge each day.
On Wednesday different classes will be taking part in a table quiz ‘Tráth na gCeist’
On Thursday we will be having a ‘Taispeaintais’ in the halla for all classes to perform as Gaeilge for each other
All classes will be learning songs as Gaeilge and listening to stories trí Ghaeilge throughout the week.
Friday 15th March will be ‘Lá Glas’ and the children may all dress up coming to school. We will all be taking part in the Cherry Orchard Community St. Patricks Parade at 10am.
Please join us in encouraging your child to use their ‘cúpla focal’ this week. There is a picture below with some commonly used words and phrases translated into Irish and written out phonetically to help parents to get involved.
Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste i rith Seachtain na Gaeilge!
Finally, the school will be closed on Monday 18th March as it is a public holiday.
Wishing you all a very enjoyable Seachtain na Gaeilge.
Le gach dea mhéin.
