Nath na Seachtaine

This year we have placed an emphasis on pupils using nathanna cainte. These are expressions and phrases we learn as a whole school to ensure the use of Gaeilge Neamhfhoirmuil (informal Irish) in our school.
Check back each week to see which one we are using. Give it a try at home!
