Bhí Céilí Mór againn ar scoil ar an Aoine, 13ú Márta. Bhíomar ag damhsa. Rinneamar Skip to my Lou,Ballai Luimní,Port on Fhomhair,Ionsaí na hÍnse agus an Rince Mór. Bhí an-spórt againn agus bhí gach duine go hiontach. Bhaineamar alán taitneamh as an lá.

We had the Céilí Mór on Friday in the school hall. We danced skip to my lou the siege of ennis,harvest time jig and the rince mór. We had great fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

Bhí ranganna 1 go 4 I nGallaimh inné le haghaidh an féile drámaíocht. Táimid fíor bhuíoch don coiste an lá a athrú dúinn tar éis an droch aimsir.

Táimid fíor bhródúil as an dream uilig a ghlac páirt ar stáitse. Cómhgairdeas do na múinteoirí scoile go léir ach go mór mhór do Mrs. Reilly agus Mr. Rushe.

Fuair na drámaí árd mholadh ón móltóir agus thug sé mholadh speisíalta don chaideán ghaeilge atá ag na daltaí. Bhí said thar barr ar an stáitse agus ba chóir go mbéadh muid bródúil astu.

Go raibh maith agaibh freisin do na tuismitheoirí a bhogadh suas chun tacaíocht a thabhairt dúinn.

Well done to our latest students of the week. The teachers, when announcing their individual class winners spoke so highly of each of the pupils.

Some of the students chosen this week could get the award every week such is the standard of their work and application!

Other’s have made a huge improvement, displayed great maturity while continuing to work hard on area’s that they find difficult. One student was chosen in particular for their kindness towards another student who was upset and for a great improvement in their classwork and application.

Well done to all ,it really is lovely to see the ‘happy faces’ when the students names are called and positive way to end another busy week !

Another very busy week lies ahead, please take note of some important dates for your diary below.
