Bhí spórt agus spraoi ag gach duine sa scoil don Seachtain na Gaeilge!
Everyone in the school had great fun for Seactain na Gaeilge 2023 or should we say Coicís na Gaeilge as it really goes on for two weeks now. We have all been so busy and the children, as always made a huge effort to speak as Gaeilge throughout the school days. We had a huge raifil on the last day. Children earned as many ticéid as they could by speaking Gaeilge each day and the tickets all went into a big box for the raifil.
Each class took part in a Ceilí and once again were paired up with another class. The younger and older children mixed so well together.
But apart from all of these organised events, each teacher and class did lots of their own activities to embrace our Irish culture, be it amhráin, rainn, dánta nó damhsaí.
Have a look at some of the things that have been going on below.
To top it all off, we had a Lá Glas last Thursday 16ú Márta and a whoe school assembly where children performed Irish dancing, tin whistle, songs and even The Haca Gaelach!
Prizes were awarded from the raifil and one child in each class was given an award for Gaeilgeoir na Seachtaine. It was a great day and some children even commented it was their favourite day of the year in St Fergal’s and many of the teachers would agree!
We have so many great events in St Fergal’s throughout the year but this is the day that we really get to celebrate our rich culture and heritage and everyone in the school really embraces it each year.
We are already looking forward to Seachtain na Gaeilge 2024!
