Seachtain na Gaeilge

Every year in Our Lady of Mercy Convent School, we celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge. This gives us all an opportunity to enjoy our Irish culture and language. This year, Seachtain na Gaeilge will be celebrated from
Monday 11th March to Friday the 15th of March 2019
Beidh sult and spraoi againn i rith na seachtaine sin!

We had such a successful 'Seachtain na Gaeilge' thanks to all the hard work and commitment by Mrs McGovern, that we decided to make a music video (físeán) to go with our amhrán - 'Amhrán na gCupán'. Every class learned this song and we gathered videos from every class to make this lovely físeán. We also added all the lovely photos taken over the week.
We hope you enjoy our video!
Bainigí taitneamh as!

Seo físeán den amhrán sa halla.
This is a live version of the song in the hall!

Caifé as Gaeilge - Caifé Cairde

We will kick start Seachtain na Gaeilge with a "Caifé Cairde", a café where we communicate in irish. Thank you to all the girls in 6th who are organizing this sociable event this year." Your trip to the Caifé will only cost you a euro! What great value! You get to have a "deoch oraiste" and a "briosca" or a "deoch liomóid" and a "cáca beag" and also time to chat with your cairde.

Ceoltóirí ó Chraobh Phiarais Uí Ghréagáin agus Rinceoirí Ógra

We were entertained by a group of traditional musicians from Craobh Phiarais Uí Ghréagain - a branch of Comhaltas. They are all pupils in Coláiste Eoin/Íosagáin and they got permission to miss their afternoon classes to play music for us. They played beautifully and we found ourselves clapping the beat of the jigs and polkas. As well as introducing themselves to us they told us a little about their instruments.

Some of the girls in the school are pupils of Pauline Daly's School of Irish Dancing. They performed a mix of single and group dances. It was lovely to see girls dancing to a very high standard. They all looked so nice in their dancing dresses.
