Rang a 5 & Rang a 6 had a special treat for Seachtain na Gaeilge, heading to the IMC in Carlow as part of Glór Cheatharlach’s SnaG programme of events. Maeve tells us more.
On Thursday the 9th of March we headed off to the cinema to see an scannán Frank agus Róise. Bhí an scannán as Gaeilge agus bhí se go hiontach mar bhí an príomhcharachtair [Frank] spraíuil agus cairdiúil. Tá an brí an scéal mar níl aon thinteán mar do thinteán féin. The characters in the movie have a strong sense of friendship and it was a delight to see. It celebrated Irish culture and language. Then we hopped onto the bus and arrived back in school for some more Seachtain na Gaeilge activities. Overall, we had a brilliant time ar an turas go dtí an pictiúrlann.
