Crann Cineáltais/ Kindness Tree

Rinne páistí Rang a 6 crann cineáltais do scoil. Coinneoidh na páistí taifead ar na gníomhartha cineálta a dhéanann na scoláirí i rith na seachtaine agus cuirfidh siad leis an gcrann iad ag deireadh na seachtaine.

The students in 6th class made a kindness tree for the whole school. All classes are going to record kind deeds carried out by students throughout the week and add them to the tree at the end of the week.

Chess/ Fichelle i nGaelscoil Donncha Rua

To celebrate Ireland hosting the European Schools Chess Championship for the first time, Fichelle wanted to set the record for the most children playing chess at the same time in Irish Primary schools. Our school took part on Friday the 3oth of May from 10am-11am.

Chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar Éirinn a bheith ina hóstach ar Chraobhchomórtas Fichille na Scoileanna Eorpacha den chéad uair, bhí Fichelle ag iarraidh an taifead a shocrú don líon is mó leanaí a bhíonn ag imirt fichille ag an am céanna i mBunscoileanna na hÉireann. Ghlac ár scoil páirt ar an Aoine an 3ú Bealtaine ó 10rn-11r.n.

Ceardlann Drumaí/ Drumming Workshop

D’éirigh le hiarratas na scoile ar an gclár Cónaitheachta Ealaíon san Oideachas i mbliana agus mar thoradh air sin bhíomar in ann bloc ceardlann drumaí a thosnú an
tseachtain seo caite le Brian Fleming
(www.brianfleming.ie). Thug Brian drumaí as áiteanna éagsúla ar fud an domhain leis an Aoine seo caite. Beidh na páistí ag foghlaim faoi na drumaí éagsúla, ag foghlaim roinnt rithimí traidisiúnta agus ag súil le léiriú gairid do
thuismitheoirí ag deiridh na gceardlann.


Drumming Workshops
Our school’s application to The Arts in Education Residency programme was successful this year and as a result we have been able to fund a block of drumming workshops which began last week with Brian Fleming (www.brianfleming.ie). Brian brought 30 drums from different parts of the worldwith him to GDR. Over the next few weeks, the children will learn all about the different drums, learn some traditional rhythms and hopefully put on a short performance for parents on the final week of the workshops.
