Every child played an instrument at this years St. Patrick’s Day parade in Fanore. In our school band we had tin whistles, low whistles, fiddles, concertinas, banjos, accordions, triangles, drums and chimes! They worked very hard to prepare for this big performance and we are very proud of them!

Máirt Inide

March 6th, 2018

Rinne na páistí pancóga as gaeilge. Lean siad oideas agus bhí orthu labhairt as gaeilge on t-am ar fad. Bhí sé deacair ach bhain siad taitneamh as!

For Pancake Tuesday the children made pancakes through Irish. They followed a recipe and had to speak Irish the whole time! It was hard but the children enjoyed it!
