Seachtain na Leabhar
Bhí seachtain thar barr againn ag céiliúradh Seachtain na Leabhar i mbliana. I measc na n-imeachtaí bhí na ranganna ag éisteacht le agus ag roinnt scéalta. B’fhéidir gur mhaith leat féin spléachadh a thabhairt ar an suíomh www.storylineonline.net agus sult a bhaint as cuid de na scéalta ansin! Dé Luain bhí tráth na gceist in achan rang, agus dearbhán leabhar bainte ag na buaiteoirí. Dé Máirt bhí na ranganna uilig gnóthach ag obair ar théama an leabhar Stickman- idir obair ealaíne agus scríbhneoireacht cruthaitheach bunaithe ar an leabhar. Chomh maith le seo, bhí an scoil ar fad ina n-údair nuair a d’oibrigh achan rang ar scéal scoile. Cuir ceist ar do pháiste scéal an dragúin, Duilleog, a insint duit.
Dé Céadaoin, bhí na hardranganna ag déanamh céardlanna scríbhneoireachta leis an údar cailiúil, Frank Galligan. Bhí suipéar agus scéalaíocht ag na Naíonáin an oíche sin, a tháinig chun na scoile ina bpitseamaí galánta agus lena dteidithe.
Lá Domhanda na Leabhar ann a bhí ann Déardaoin agus ghléas muid uilig suas mar na carachtair is fearr linn. Bhí cuid de na carachtair ó leabhair Roald Dahl le feiceáil, chomh maith le Mary Poppins agus a lán carachtair eile! Billy Teare, an scéalaí as Co. Aontoma a thug pléisiúr mhór dúinn le scéalta greannmhara agus rímeanna.
Dé hAoine, ba é Frank McCarron an scéalaí ó Co.Mhuineachain a tháinig ar cuairt chugainn.
Bhí Seachtain iontach againn agus tá muid lán de scéalta agus spreagtha faoi leabhar!
Another important week over when celebrated Book Week. As part of the celebrations, each class had a great time sharing and listening to stories. Maybe you’d like to visit the website www.storylineonline.net to hear some of their stories!
On Monday each class had their class quiz, with the lucky group winning book vouchers. On Tuesday we were all very busy working on the story, ‘Stickman’ which was our theme of the week.. From artwork to creative writing, and everything in between, we can’t wait to see all our work displayed next week! Make sure you come and have a look. We also wrote a school story, ask your child to tell you the story of Duilleog the Dragon, or have a look at it here on the website.
On Wednesday, senior classes had creative writing workshops with author and presenter Frank Galligan. The Storysacks came out on Wednesday night in preparation ‘Supper and Storytime’ for na Naíonáin, who came along in their pyjamas with their teddies. Why do juice and cookies taste so much nicer at school?!
Thursday was World Book Day and we all dressed up as our favourite book characters, there were lots of Roald Dahl characters and even a few Mary Poppins! Billy Teare came from Co.Antrim with a head full of funny stories and rhymes to entertain us.
Seachtain na Leabhar ended on Friday with scéalaíocht from Frank McCarron who travelled from Monaghan to be with us. The children were delighted that Frank was returning - he has been a big favourite in the past.
Sadly the week is over but we hope it’s leagacy will continue. We all had a really lovely experience, celebrating books and sharing stories! We have budding authors, illustrators and storytellers in our midst, all they need is lots more encouragement. Now for Seachtain na Gaeilge…….
