A Thuismitheoirí,

Níl rud ar bith a ardaíonn mo chroí chomh mór le ceol gutha & uirlise a

chloisteáil thart timpeall na scoile. Ón gcéad lá riamh I nGaelscoil Liatroma bhí

ceol binn na bpáistí le cloisteáil i rith an lae agus ag ócáidí speisialta i rith na

scoilbhliana.

Agus muid ag ceiliúradh an fhoigneamh nua scoile á thógáil cheapamar go mba

dheas an rud é dhlúthdhiosca ceoil a thaifeadadh a léireodh an dúil agus an grá

atá againn i nGaelscoil Liatroma don cheol.

Tá sé beartuithe againn taifeadadh a dhéanamh de dhlataí na scoile ag canadh

amhráin, ag aithris rannta agus ag seinm ceoil. Ag deireadh na tógála agus muid

ag bogadh isteach san fhoirgneamh nua tá sé beartuithe againn dlúthdhiosca a

sheoladh. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibhse an oiread taitnimh as a bheith ag

éisteacht leis an dlúthdhiosca seo agus a bhainfidh muidne as a bheith á chur le

chéile. Mar a deir an seanfhocal ‘Nuair a stopann an ceol, stopann an rince’ ach

beimid ag rince feasta le cúnamh Dé. Idir seo agus sin iarraimid ar gach éinne

cuidiú linn trí chinntiú go mbíonn an fheadóg stáin istigh ag daltaí Ranganna 1-6

gach lá.

There is nothing that raises my spirits more than hearing the sound of music

around the school. From the very first day the school opened its’ doors in 2005

the children could be heard singing throughout the day and at special occasions

throughout the school year

Music is an integral part of education in Gaelscoil Liatroma. As part of our

celebrations re the new school building we have decided to record a music CD

that will showcase some of the musical talents of our pupils and teachers. We

hope to record the students singing songs, reciting poems and playing musical

instruments. We plan to launch a CD to coincide with our moving into the new

school building. There is a phrase as Gaeilge that goes ‘Nuair a stopann an ceol,

stopann an rince’ -when the music stops ,so does the dancing but we hope to

continue dancing our way through the next 10 years!

Is mise le meas

Príomhoide

An Aoine seo caite d’eagraigh an Múinteoir

Máire , an Múinteoir Irene agus an Múinteoir

Gerry turas oideachasúil i bPáirc Foraoise Loch

Cé

.

Bhí Múinteoir Gerry i bhfeighil ar an

Rianóireacht. Bhí daltaí ag foghlaim conas

léarscáil a léamh, cúrsa a leanúint agus comharthaí

rianóireachta a aimsiú i lár na Foraoise. Beidh

cúpla seisiún mar seo á dhéanamh ag na daltaí seo

rith na bliana. An uair seo bhí an Múinteoir Gerry

ag tionlacan na daltaí mar ghrúpa ranga chun a

chinntiú nach rachadh duine ar bith ar strae agus

chun cuidiú leis an daltaí an léarscáil a aistriú ó

phár go Foraois beo ina dtimpeall. An chéad uair

eile beidh grúpa daltaí á dhéanamh seo go

neamhspleách ar an Mhúinteoir.

Bhí an Múinteoir Irene i bhfeighil ar an Eolaíocht

Bhí an grúpa daltaí faoina cúram ag foghlaim faoi

conas comharthaí an Fhómhair a aithint, na Crainn

Dhuillshilteacha a ainmniú, tábhacht an Slabhra

Bia a thuiscint agus mar a bhímid ar fad ag

maireachtáil faoi scáth a chéile.

Last Friday an Múinteoir Máire, an Múinteoir

Irene and an Múinteoir Gerry organised an

educational trip in Lough Key Forest Park.

An Múinteoir Gerry was in charge of

Orienteering. The students were learning how to

read maps, how to follow a course and try to find

as many controls as possible in a given amount of

time. The group led by an Múinteoir Gerry

followed a particular route and found a number of

checkpoints along the way. The students will be

partaking in this sport a few times this year as part

of the P.E. Curriculum. The next time they do the

Orienteering they will be working in small

groups, independently of the teacher.

An Múinteoir Irene was in charge of Science on

the day. The group were learning how to read

/observe the signs of Autumn, finding and

classifying the different species of deciduous

trees, understanding the importance of Food

chains and how we all exist in harmony with each

other.

Bhí an Múinteoir Máire i bhfeighil ar an Stair an

lá sin. Bhí na daltaí ag foghlaim conas bheith ag

obair mar staraí, conas comharthaí staire a léamh

agus a aithint thart timpeall orthu agus an

timpeallacht gar dóibh a scrúdú mar staraí.
