Seachtain na Gaeilge 15ú – 19ú Márta 2021

Irish Week CWETNS 15th – 19th March 2021)

Fáilte roimh Seachtain na Gaeilge Canal Way ETNS 2021. Is seachtain an-tábhachtach í an tseachtain seo don scoil. Nílimíd in ann gach rud a dhéanamh a dhéanaimid de ghnáth, cosúil leis an céilí mór, ach tá seachtain lán le spraoi pleanáilte again.  Le bhúr dtoil, déanaigí iarracht speisialta an Ghaeilge a labhairt timpeall na scoile agus sa bhaile.

(Welcome to Irish Week CWETNS 2021. This is a very important week for the school. We’re not able to do everything we normally do, like the Céilí Mór, but we have a fun-filled week planned. Please make a special effort to speak Irish around the school and at home.)

Tús le Comórtas Póstaeir

In school each child will design a poster on a seanfhocal (Irish proverb). The 2 winning posters from each class will win a prize at the end of Seachtain na Gaeilge and be published on the school website. We have put a table at the end of this post showing what seanfhocal each class has. Please practise your child’s seanfhocal with them if possible. It would be great if they knew their seanfhocal for Monday morning! We have tried to type a phonetic version underneath each one to help anyone who has no experience of Irish.

Paráid fhíorúil

We’re asking everyone to get involved in a VIRTUAL PARADE for St. Patrick’s Day by sending in a very short video of your child walking past the camera, dressed up like they are in the St. Patrick’s Day parade. We are going to try to edit together all the entries we receive so try to have a white/blank background if possible like in the example video HERE. When you have it done please send to (or share with) virtualp@canalwayetns.org

Guidelines:

-Dress up if possible

-Record in LANDSCAPE

-Child walks/skips/dances/wriggles from LEFT to RIGHT, move as creatively as you want!

-IF they want to say something it can be a quick message IN IRISH but NO pressure to say anything

-Please keep videos as short as possible (2/3 seconds per child). See example video HERE. We won’t be able to use anything that’s too long. We will try to post the full Virtual Parade on our website on Thursday 18th.
