Seachtain na Gaeilge took place from Tuesday, 16th until Friday, 19th March this year in Queen of Angels. There were lots of activities going on throughout the week. Ar an Mháirt we had our annual Lá Glas where everyone came dressed in the colours of our National flag( Brat na hÉireann).Some even dyed their hair green! To kick start this lá speisialta, the junior classes gathered in the junior yard outside for our very own Paráid Naomh Pádraig, while still adhering to social distancing. The children played the bodhráns; flew flags and banners; shook shamrocks, maracas and tambourines and banged drums as we marched around the grounds of the school. The senior classes had their parade later on in the morning in a similar vein. Every class was busy creating wonderful art pieces with an Irish theme as part of our Comórtas Éalaíne (Art Competition).Events such as An Tóraíocht Taisce ( Treasure Hunt) and An Tráth na gCeist ( Table Quiz) provided great entertainment for all the pupils. The children got to sample some traditional Irish cooking courtesy of Áine, our SNA, who made a big pot of Irish stew in the Nurture room for the children to enjoy. Also, each class was given some brown bread, Irish butter and jam to sample. The children gave these a big thumbs up! Bhí seachtain thar bharr ar fad againn!
