Our Junior and Senior infants classes had so much fun today taking part in an egg hunt. The girls even brought in their own bunnies from home to join the hunt! The girls had to find their teddies and then look for lots of chocolate eggs hidden around the school grounds. Afterwards the girls danced and sang some songs in the yard!

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!
