ST. PATRICK’S DAY AT NAOMH NAILLE!

We had a very active day at school today to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! All the children have been learning Irish and Céilí Dancing for the past week or two and all the new skills learned were put into practice as the children took part in their céilí. We also held our annual parade on the school yard, accompanied by our brilliant musicians. Lots of art and crafts went home, as well as certificates for Seachtain na Gaeilge Well done everyone! All in all a great fun day at school today. Click below for photographs and videos.

Well done to all the boys and girls who took part, and thank you to Donegal Town Business Focus Group for the treats for the children after they had finished singing – much appreciated!
