Seachtain na Gaeilge
Scoil Mhuire enjoyed a very action packed Seachtain na Gaeilge in March this year. This was a great opportunity to celebrate our unique Irish heritage , our traditions ,our stories, songs, poetry, dances, music and of course our Irish language. We had a great Irish atmosphere throughout the school while children prepared for the concert on Wednesday and the Céilí on Thursday.
At our ceolchoirm on Wednesday we had a lovely mixture of some old and new Irish and English songs such as Johnny I Hardly Knew You, The Rising of the Moon, Buachaill ón Eirne, Brachan Lom, along with the more modern ones like Riptide. We also had some plays, poems and music and ended a very enjoyable afternoon with a sing song with everyone joining in to a rendition of Péigin Leitir Mhóir, Beidh Aonach Amárach, Ó Ró Sé Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile and Téir Abhaile.
On Thursday we had a very exciting afternoon with a Céilí sa halla. 3rd and 6th classes danced the Walls of Limerick, 4th danced The Siege of Ennis and 5th danced The Sweets of May . We finished with The Hakka as Gaeilge and the Dreoilín song. A great afternoon to say the least.
Children also had great fun during the week using ipads for a Tráth na gCeist Trail and later took part in an orienteering activity as Gaeilge. What fun as Gaeilge !
Seachtain na Gaeilge wouldn’t be complete without our Lá Glas and Tráth na gCeist on Friday. Again another great day.
Bhí seachtain iontach againn i rith Seachtain na Gaeilge i mbliana ag ceiliúradh ár dtraidisiún Gaelach, ag canadh ,ag damhsa ,ag insint scéalta. Bhí gach duine gnóthach ag ullmhú chuige agus bhí atmasféar fíor ghaelach tríd an scoil.Bhí na leanaí an bhródúil ag labhairt as gaeilge gach lá sa chlós, sa rang agus tríd an scoil go léir agus fiú in sna siopaí taréis scoile! Bhain na leanaí an sásamh as an tór chiste ag baint úsáid as Ipads agus níos déanaí ‘Orienteering’ as Gaeilge. Gan dabht chun críoch a chur le himeachtaí na seachtaine bhí Lá Glas againn ar an Aoine agus Tráth na gCeist Boird don scoil ar fad. Ceiliúradh Aifreann Lá le Pádraig ar an 17ú lá i gCill Mhuire agus ghlac leanaí Scoil Mhuire páirt sa chór. Bhain gach duine taitneamh agus sásamh as Seachtain na Gaeilge.
Bí ag caint bí ag spraoí. Is leatsa í an Ghaeilge. Maith sibh!
