Our annual Sponsored Walk  which took place in May was a great success.  A sincere thanks to parents, families and friends of St. Brigid’s B.N.S. for your generous and continued support.

Here are the winners of the Bikes along with the Spot Prize winners

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Is féile idirnáisiúnta Ghaeilge í Seachtain na Gaeilge, atá ar an gceiliúradh is mó dár dteanga agus dár gcultúr dúchais a bhíonn ar siúl in Éirinn agus i go leor tíortha eile gach bliain.

Cinnte bhí a lán spraoi agus Gaeilge le cloistéail i Scoil Naomh Bhríde i mbliana. De bharr Covid-19 bhí rúdaí saghas difriúl ach níor chuir sé sin stop le himeachtaí Gaelacha i rith na seachtaine.

Is iomaí na himeachtaí Gaelacha a bhí á reáchtáil againn sa scoil. Gach rud ó gComórtas Ealaíne go Tráth na gCeist, ó Siúlóid Dúlra go Lá Glas. Rinne na daltaí sár iarracht Gaeilge a labhairt agus táimid go léir an-bhródúil astu.

Ní bheadh na himeachtaí seo indéanta gan bhur n-obair dhílis mhúinteoireachta ar fud na scoile. Táimid an-bhuíoch daoibh go léir.

Tá súil agam gur bhain na daltaí an-taitneamh as Seachtain na Gaeilge. Bain trial as píosa beag Ghaeilge a labhairt sa bhaile. Mar a deirtear “Is fearr Gaeilge briste ná Béarla cliste”.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Seachtain na Gaeilge is an international event in which we celebrate our Irish language and culture, both in Ireand and across the world.

Certainly there was a lot of fun and Irish to be heard in St. Brigid’s this year. Of course, with Covid-19 restrictions, things were a little different this year, but that didn’t stop a lot of brilliant Irish activities taking place during the week.

There were all types of activities organised in each class. We had everything from art competitions to table quizzes, from songs to performances, from nature walks to our very own Green Day. The boys made an amazing effort to speak in Irish and we are extremely proud of them all.

These events and activities would not be possible but for the support and help of all the staff of St. Brigid’s. We are very grateful to everyone for all the help and enthusiasm during the week.

I hope all the boys enjoyed the fun and excitement that Seachtain na Gaeilge brings. Give a go speaking a little Irish at home. Don’t worry if you make mistakes because as the seanfhocal says, “Broken Irish is better than clever English”.

We in St. Brigid’s B.N.S. are delighted to hear from Ms. Sheeran who is working in a special school in Uganda. We wish her every success in her fantastic volunteer work. Maith thú Ms. Sheeran!
