Bhaineamar an-taitneamh as an tseachtain seo! 

We had a great week of craic agus sparoi sa scoil as each of the classes made a huge effort for Seachtain na Gaeilge. Throughout the week the girls made an extra effort to speak as Gaeilge in their classes, in the corridors and in the school yard. 

There were lots of activities in the school to celebrate SnaG. A pupil from each class was chosen as a winner in our St.Patrick's Day Art competition. A 'Cainteoir na Seactaine' was selected in each of the classes. On Thursday, we had a trad group visit the school to give workshops to the classes. On Friday we had 'Lá Glas' with the children and teachers wearing éadaí glasa! The classes also came together in the hall to perform some very popular Irish songs with actions chun chríoch a chur ar SnaG.

'Míle Buíochas' to Ms.McDOnald for coordinating the week and to all the teachers and pupils for making it an enjoyable week!

A great day was had at the Spar 5-a-side tournament in Abbotstown. Each team had four matches to play. There were lots of excellent performances and results on the day. Team 1, managed by Brian, were knocked out by the group who won their group overall. Team 2, managed by GAry, topped their group and have now qualified for the Dublin regional finals on April 25th. Well done to all involved including Ms.Farrell and Noel!

Well done to our school choir who were performed so well in this weeks Feis Ceoil in St.Bartholomew's Church. The girls won 1st place in the Sacred competition and came 2nd in Feis. The girls, along with Ms.Wickham, Ms.Flynn and Ms.Howard have dedicated so much time to preparing for this big event and their hard work paid off! Maith sibh a chailíní!

Ms. Farrell's 5th class have begun the Sow & grow initiative for 2018. The girls planted cress, spinach and peas. They studied the process of photosynthesis and now know that plants are autotrophs and use sunlight to make their own food. the girls are looking to caring for their plants and watching them grow. They are also looking forward to harvesting the crop in a few weeks time and tasting them!
