There certainly is a lot of activity this week in Joeys!!!

Take a look at our slide show of some of the weeks top stories.

ALSO THE SEANFHOCAL OF THE DAY IS:

As part of our cultural and language celebrations we are very active this week! Tá muid ag baint sult as gach rud agus gach lá . . .

What is most impressive is the attitude of all our boys. We are giving everthing a shot using our Irish and we are enjoying every single minute. Is maith linn Gaeilge!!!

The puc fada was in full flight during the week and our Irish Dancers in the hall woud put Riverdance to shame! Maith sibh ar fad.

Meanwhile down in Room 10 the boys have been busy  rehearsing and recording their spoken Irish pieces. This work is truly fantastic and if you want to listen just click on the left hand side of these links. . . The boys have a brilliant attitude toward Irish and if you want to pop in tá céad míle romhat!

Our vey own Kevin Foley there. . . Now listen to Ryan Flood with a very helpful poem for those learning to count . . .

This is really top of the range stuff and it shows that the Joey’s boys can master a language as old as that of Ancient Egypt. . .Finally here are two edits of Fionn performing a poem written by Patrick Pearse entitled “Mise Éire”.  Tá sé ar fheabhas ar fad, maith thú Fionn.

That was the “Haunting Slow Air Edit” now éistigí leis an “Dubstep Remix”.

Dá fhada an lá tagann an tráthnóna

Seachtain na Gaeilge continues in Joeys. We’ve got some Irish dancers in the making! Check out these pictures  of the boys sa rang 2,  rang 4, seomra 9A, seomra 15 agus seomra 16 ag dámhsa. Mr McGuinness was the quiz master for the tráth na gCeist with rang 6 sa halla. Maithú to the winning team Toirneach agus Tintreach!

Every day, our class go outside to the yard for ten minutes and we run for the duration of that time. Our best score was 29 laps of the basketball court, both Evan and Michael achieved this record. Evan’s score was the most improved as he managed to bring his score up from 16 to 29 laps. Michael on the other hand has the highest total of laps in our Drop Everything And Run sessions. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.
