Health and fitness announcement from the North Pole – Fógra sláinte ón bPol Thuaidh

toonvectors-12039

As part of a new health and fitness programme for the reindeers, Santa has requested that, this year, children would leave out special reindeer food for the reindeers on Christmas Eve. This food is, of course, highly magical but, in this instance, it is also very healthy. It forms part of the new special healthy diet for reindeers in the North Pole who, unfortunately, have not been eating so healthily in recent months. So, management in the North Pole suggest very strongly that everyone should leave out at least one sachet of this special reindeer food to help the reindeer have enough energy for their arduous journey around the whole world.

SN an Inbhir, has been specially chosen as one of the few schools in the country who can supply this food, because of its track record with keeping fit and healthy eating. Because we are currently working so enthusiastically towards our third Active Schools flag, we have been deemed worthy of this great honour!

If you would like to join our campaign to keep the reindeers fit and healthy for their big night, please buy at least one packet. They are for sale in local shops, through the school at only €3 each. Mail orders can be placed by cheque, credit card or chimney post (+P&P) to SN an Inbhir, Barr na Trá, Béal an Athá, Co. Mhaigheo, Ireland or by phone to +353 (0)97 84532.

Ag ullmhú don Nollaig – Preparing for Christmas

Tá muid ag ullmhú don Nollaig i SN an Inbhir faoi lathair. Tá muid ag foghlaim faoin gcéad Nollaig agus ag reitiú don Nollaig.  Tá muid ag féachaint ar gach duine sa seomra ranga ag déanamh random acts of kindness don Aidbhint agus ag leanúint an feilire Aidbhinte ó (Cumann na bPáistí Miseantach) WMI. Tá muid ag lasadh coinnle sa bhfleasc Aidbhinte gach seachtain agus  ag rá paidreacha do dhaoine eile.  Tá máinséar againn sa seomra ranga agus tá an seomra maisithe againn.

Tá muid ag reitiú  don ceolchoirm sa seipéil ar an 19ú chomh maith. Beidh muid ag seinnt ceol agus ag déanamh ceoldrám faoi scéal na Nollag. Beidh gach páiste sa scoil ag glacadh páírt ann.

Seo pictiúr beag den obair atá ar siúil againn faoi lathair:

 

Getting ready for our school concert.

This week we’ve getting ready for our school concert. We’re practising like crazy. I’m so excited but nervous at the same time. We’ve started going down to the church. I know what my costume looks like because I wore it last year as well.

I’m a star again. I know all my lines off by heart, I know them so well I’ll forget them soon. I know everyone elses as well as my own. Everyone’s playing music at the start. There is melodicas, tinwhistle, beat box, bells, chime bars and acordian. I’m playing the acordian Amy’s playing playing the beat box. Caolan used to play the bass guitar but he didn’t like it that much.

Me, Grace, Sophie and Shauna are stars. I swapped with Rosaleen because I didn’t want to be an angel. I don’t really like the costumes, Lisa said they’re pure tight and itchy. The shepherds ones are nice to and so are the kings. I like Mary’s as well and Joseph’s too.

Well I hope it all goes well. And I don’t make any mistakes. And I hope that nobody is putting us off at the back of the church!

I can’t wait for Thursday.It will be amazing because our teachers are pushing us so hard, but we don’t mind as most of us need the practice.

Carols For Crumlin


About 2 weeks ago we did something called “Carols For Crumlin”. Our Ladys Secondary School called a lot of Primary schools togther to sing Christmas carols for a childrens hostpital in Dublin. It is called “Crumlin Childrens Hostpital”.

Andy Moran, the captain of the Mayo football team, was also there. Lots of people got Santa hats signed by him.

We did 3 songs, Jingle Bells, Come Oh Ye Faithful and O Holy Night. We raised €3,106.11!!! Lots of people showed up. I am very proud.

Our Lady’s Secondary school choir and all the national schools in Erris did Carols for Crumlin. We had two practices in the school and in the Broadhaven Bay Hotel.

In the first practice we sang the songs we sang ‘O-Holy Night’, ‘O-come all ye faithful’, and ‘Jingle bells’. In the second practice we got into our spots so we would know where we were on the night.

Then it was the day we did the choir. First we sang ‘Jingle Bells’ and went back into the Disco. We had Crisps, Sweets and a Drink and waited for out time to sing. We also got a picture with with Andy Moran, He is a football player for Mayo and we got santa hats and he signed them as well.

We waited for our turn and went onto the stage. We sang ‘O holy night’ and ‘Come all ye faithful’. They raised €3,106.11. I really had a good time doing it.
