GAMES IN FULL SWING
The week before last the boys travelled to play Clooney in a sevens
hurling challenge which they won by a few goals. On Wednesday last in
Crusheen they had another useful workout, this time against Ruan/Toonagh.
They were well beaten in this one.
The girls meanwhile had an easy win over Ruan/Toonagh in a camogie challenge,
also on Wednesday. They will play in the sevens football in Roslevan
on Friday next at 12.30p.m.
SEACHTAIN NA GAEILGE
Bhí an-spraoi ag páistí
agus múinteoirí leis an réimse leathan imeachtaí
a bhí ar suíl le haghaidh Seachtain na Gaeilge. Sa chlár,
bhí spórt, ceol, amhránaíocht, comhrá,
tráth na gceist, cluichí teangan, léiríu
ar sheanfhocail, ealaíon and ceardaíocht agus go leor
eile. B'é buachphointe na seachtaine an chuairt a thug Tim Collins
agus Enda Mulkere ar an scoil dé hAoine. Sheinn siad leis agus
do na páistí agus bhí an-craic go deo ag cuile
dhuine.
The visit of Enda Mulkere, together with local music teacher, Tim Collins
brought a fitting and most pleasant conclusion to the various events
organised for Seachtain na Gaeilge. Tim and Enda had a lively session
of music and story with pupils of all classes in the school. Interestingly
both men are currently involved in a research project involving schools,
Clare musicians and the internet.
