An tAthair Michael ag ceiliúradh le curaithe an Chontae
Cuireadh fíor chaoin fáilte roimh an tAthair Michael nuair a tháinig sé le soláistí a bhronnadh ar phainéal na gcailíní a bhuaigh Craobh an Chontae le déánaí. Ba mhaith leis an gcailíní buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil leis as an tacaíocht agus as a bheith fial flaithiúil leo.
Fr. Michael Enright received a warm welcome when he visited the school recently to present the panel of girls, our County Champions with delicious refreshments. The girls would like to thank Fr. Michael for his continuous support and for his generosity.
Teanga Tí: Imeacht na Nollag sa ‘Leanbh Sásta’
Thaitin imeachtaí na maidine go mór leis an slua i láthair, idir an ceardlann ealaíne, bréagáin de gach sort, soláistí, scéalaíocht fad is a bhí scíth á ligean agus buaicphointe na maidine, an cuairt ó Dhaidí na Nollag a chuir gliondar croí ar na páistí.
Ár mbuíochas ó chroí le Gillian Uí Dhubhagáin a d’eagraigh agus a reáchtáil an imeacht ina mol spraoi ‘An Leanbh Sásta’, leis an clainn ar fad a bhí i láthair, le Daidí na Nollag a tháinig ón Mhol Thuaidh chun lúcháir na Nollag a roinnt le cách agus le Bróna Ní Cholmáin, an tOifigeach Pleanála Teanga as a cuid tacaíochta. Bhí an-mhaidin go deo againn go léir.
This was an event thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance. We had a choice of activities between Arts and Crafts, an assortment of toys to play with, storytelling while relaxing and the highlight of the morning was a visit from Santa himself which enthralled the children.
A big thank you to Gillian Uí Dhubhagáin for organising and running this event in her own play hub ‘An Leanbh Sásta’, to all our families who came to participate, to Santa who travelled from the North Pole to share the joy of Christmas with all and to Brona Ní Cholmáin for her support with the event. We had a fantastic morning.
Draíodóir ar cuairt in Scoil Gharbháin:
Cuireadh fáilte is fiche roimh Draíodóir a thug cuairt ar an scoil le déanaí. Bhí na daltaí, an lucht féachana faoi gheasa aige. Thaitin an cur i láthair go mór leo agus cuirfear fáilte roimhe arís gan aon dabht. Míle buíochas le Bróna Ní Cholmáin, an tOifigeach Pleanála Teanga, le Dún Garbhán le Gaeilge agus le Glór na nGael as an imeacht seo a eagrú do dhaltaí na scoile.
A visiting Magician
Our visiting magician received a warm welcome recently in Scoil Gharbháin. He certainly held a captive audience. The children were enthralled by the show and he will certainly be very welcome in the future.
A big thank you to Brona Ní Cholmáin, Dún Garbháin le Gaeilge’s Language Development Officer and to Glór na nGael for their support in organising this event.
Falla Dreapadóireachta
Tá na daltaí ag dreapadh na fallaí le déanaí! Ceannaíodh cúrsa cothrománach dreapadh fallaí agus tá sé in airde anois ar fhalla an halla. Bíonn deis ag na daltaí forbairt a dhéanamh ar na scileanna mínluaile agus oll-luaile agus iad i mbun súgartha. Táimid fíorbhuíoch as Coiste Folláine na nDaltaí agus Coiste Folláine na mBall Foirne a d’eagriagh an Siopa Oíche Shamhna chun airgead a bhailiú don togra seo. Ár míle buíochas chomh maith le Coiste na dTuismitheoirí a thug maoiniú breise dúinn chun an fearas a cheannach. Agus, go raibh míle maith agat Múinteoir Jeaic as é a chrochadh in airde Thar an deireadh seachtaine!
Climbing Wall
The pupils are literally climbing the walls this week! A horizontal climbing wall was purchased and it is now mounted on the wall of our halla. Pupils have the opportunity to develop their fine motor skills and gross motor skills while they play. We are very grateful to our Pupil Wellbeing Committee and our Staff Wellbeing Committee for organising the Halloween Shop to raise funds to purchase the equipment. A big thank you as well to our Parents’ Committee who gave us further financial assistance to help meet our target. Go raibh agat as well to Múinteoir Jeaic who put the structure in place our the weekend. Ní neart go cur le chéile!
