Seachtain na Gaeilge i Scoil Gharbháin

April 2, 2012

Céilí Mór

Cancel your tickets for ‘Riverdance’ we had ‘Riverdance’ here in the yard on Thursday last to celebrate ‘Seachtain na Gaeilge’. We had at least a hundred Michael Flatleys. The children thoroughly enjoyed the fun and dancing which brought Seachtain na Gaoluinne to an enjoyable close. This has now become an annual event thanks to Múinteoir Muireann. Muireann organised the event and she also practiced the ‘Céilí dances with the classes and she created a wonderful atmosphere amongst us as usual. A big thank you to Máire Ní Chadhla our sound technician. Competition was at a all time high as the statue dance began and congratulations to our winners.

Table Quiz

We would like to thank all our local schools and their parents who supported us with this event for the first time. We were overjoyed to see the attendance on the night. Thanks to you it was a resounding success. Praise is well deserved by all the pupils from the Local Schools who attended this Quiz. The standard was very high and the children were very competitive. Míle buíochas to all the staff here in Scoil Gharbháin and to rang 5 and rang 6 for all their efforts in organising the event and to Coiste na dTuismitheoirí for organising our spot prizes.
We are extremely grateful to ‘Gaelscoileanna’ who generously sponsored this event. We have decided to make this an annual event and we’re going to include Rang 3 and Rang 4 next year and that’s a definite date for the diary.

Congratulations to our winners.

Celtic Week in Bank of Ireland

We would like to thank Bank of Ireland for the invitation they extended to us to be part of Celtic Week and for the warm welcome we received in the bank on Friday morning last. Múinteoir Máire and Múinteoir Muireann spent the week practicing and preparing the children for the occasion. We had a most enjoyable morning in the bank playing music on accordions, concertinas, violins, banjos, bodhráin and tin whistles it was fabulous to hear. The children sang accompanied by Múinteoir Máire and gave the customers a display of ceili dancing the ‘Bridge of Athlone’ under the guidance of Múinteoir Muireann. We were very proud of them. A big thank you to our parents who came to support us, it was much appreciated.
