Seachtain na Gaeilge 2021

Fáilte libh uile chuig Seachtain na Gaeilge 2021.

Leis na fabhanna atá ann le Covid, agus na páistí sinsireacha ag filleadh don chéad uair ón Nollaig ar an Luain, tá sé níos deachra Seachtain na Gaeilge a cheiliúradh i mbliana. Ach sin ráite, beidh na ranganna ag ceiliúradh thar an idirlíne agus sna ranganna. Chun cabhrú leis na tuismitheoirí, tá achmhainn dheas againn chun cúpla focal a labhairt, sa bhaile nó sna siopaí nuair atá tú iontu. Tá dhá chárta ó 'Bí ag Caint' le nathanna deasa simplí le fáil ag na nascanna seo!

Bí ag Caint    Cárta 1    Cárta 2

With the difficulties around Covid and our senior classes only returning to the school building next Monday, for the first time since Christmas, it has made the celebration of Seachtain na Gaeilge more difficult this year. However, celebrate we will in whatever way or means we can, online and in the classrooms. As a help for parents we have a nice resource to help you use your 'cúpla focal' at home or in the shops. Why not check out the two cards from 'Bí ag Caint' at the links above!

Reading Challenge February 2021

Dear Children and Parents,

As we spoke about at our Assembly last week, we are planning a Reading Challenge for next week. We are keeping the challenge nice and easy, what we really hope is that children will do plenty of reading next week. 

The children should receive two nice posters per family and a 'My Reading Record' sheet each (sample attached below) in the post on Monday or Tuesday. If you do not receive them, please let me know at 056 8831512 or at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The challenge is to read every day. You can read any book of your choice or use the RAZ+  to read. Read the paper, read a magazine, read a comic! We recommend that children try and read for 10-15 minutes a day. 

Every day, record your reading onto the 'My Reading Record' sheet and at the end of the week, take a photo of your record and send it to your class teacher by Aladdin Connect or by email. Everyone who completes the challenge will receive a special cert, and classes where 75% of the class complete the challenge will receive a class reward when we return to school!

To make it a little easier to find time to read, each teacher is going to reduce your written work by one item each day next week.

So... Ready... Set.... Read!!!

Dermot Dunphy, Principal
