Seachtain na Gaeilge ☘️
We celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge in Carysfort from 9th-13th March 2026. The children enjoyed a range of activities including:
- Irish dancing: Ms. Joanne McDonnell taught the Junior Classes, while the Senior Classes had the opportunity to take part in a Céilí.
- Tráth na gCeist: Many classes took part throughout the week.
- Our amazing Banna Ceoil performed some lovely traditional Irish music and taught us about their instruments. Thank you to Ms. Mulcahy, Ms. Connolly and Ms. Sheil for their work on this.
- Comórtas Gaeilge: All children were encouraged to use as much Gaeilge as possible throughout the week. Each class was given an apple to colour in, with sections completed as Gaeilge was used throughout the day. A full apple gave the class a raffle ticket and a chance to win a prize.
- Many classes were learning songs as Gaeilge and listening to stories trí Ghaeilge throughout the week.
- Door Decorating: All classes decorated their doors for our door decorating competition.
- Friday 13th March was our annual ‘Lá Glas’. The children were encouraged to wear green, white and orange clothing.
It was a fabulous week for all members of the school community. We will continue to encourage children to use their ‘cúpla focal’ as much as possible. Thank you to Ms. Cooper for all her work in organising the event.
