Our school was filled with a sea of green today as we celebrated Lá Glas in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. The children arrived dressed in every shade of green with festive hats, scarves, and accessories.
As part of our Lá Glas celebrations, we gathered for a ceolchoirm where each class had the opportunity to share what they had been working on. From lively Irish songs and poetry to dances and music, it was wonderful to see the talent and enthusiasm of our students on display. We were also treated to some ceol agus craic with our very own banna ceoil, who had everyone clapping, singing, and dancing along.
We had our St. Patrick’s Day Parade, where each class marched around the school grounds, waving Irish flags and handmade banners.
In the lead-up to Lá Glas, students learned about the history and traditions of St. Patrick’s Day and even tried their hand at some traditional Irish dancing. Our older students prepared stories as Gaeilge for our younger students, who thoroughly enjoyed listening to them.
