St Patrick’s Day &
Seachtain na Gaeilge
The junior room were very busy around St Patrick’s Day. We
learned all about St. Patrick and how he became our patron saint. We worked
very hard to speak Gaeilge as much as possible around Seachtain na Gaeilge. We
learned how to dance some irish dancing and we performed 3 songs “as Gaeilge”
for the rest of the school.
Mother’s Day
The children made beautiful pictures for their Mums on
Mother’s day and some lovely biscuits. We hope the hardworking Mums enjoyed
their treats on Mother’s Day.
