Nuachtlitir Deireadh na Bliana

A Thuismitheoirí,

Beatha agus sláinte chugaibh ar maidin.

Táimid tagtha go deireadh na bliana seo, agus is mian liomsa aird a thabhairt ar na rudaí dochreidte atá bainte amach againn mar phobal scoile i mbliana.

We have finally come to the end of a long, but hugely successful school year and I couldn’t let the year finish up without recognising the amazing achievements of our school community this school year 2022-2023

Buaicphointí na bliana GSER 2022-2023

Agus, don chéad uair riamh, d’osclaíomar suas na clósanna ar fad don tseachtain deireanach agus, le cabhair Rang 6, bhí stáisiúin ghníomhach spraíúil do na páistí uile. Bhí sé go hálainn na siblíní uilig a fheiceáil ag spraoi le chéile agus thaitin an spraoi eisceachtúil seo go mór le cách. A last week of fun, frolics and friendship! The children were very lucky during this last week to be given free-reign of all the yard spaces in our school for an extended period and “big-lunch”, where Rang 6 had special areas set up with different activities. The children got to mix with siblings and other classes, and they had an absolute ball. We had a fantastic day yesterday, with every child in the school getting an ice-cream and having fun in the yard with bubbles and chalk.

The Cumann na mBunscol games started in April and plenty of games were played. The junior hurling team played 4 games and they did very well. They won two games and lost out narrowly in the other two. Many of these boys were playing hurling for the school for the first time and this experience will stand to them going forward. Maith sibh!

The camogie team were placed in the Corn Uí Mhaoláin in the Cumann na mBunscol competition. They played very well but, unfortunately, just missed out on making the semi-final. They had two great wins over Scoil Áine Naofa and Holy Family NS and they lost out in their two other games to strong opposition. Maith sibh, a chailíní!

The senior hurling team had a great year and they won their group games, qualifying for the semi-final. They came through a difficult game, winning against Scoil Mológa to make the final in Croke Park.

Bhí oíche fhíor speisialta ar siúl aréir i halla na scoile le hOíche Ghradaim Rang 6. Cuireadh fáilte roimh dhaltaí Rang Chiara agus Rang Lorcán agus a dtuismitheoirí don cheiliúradh álainn seo. Bhí ceol álainn binn le cloisteáil agus bhí cur i láthair scileanna éagsúla ar taispeáint ag na daltaí, idir scileanna spóirt agus Rince Gaelach, mar aon le buanna eile. Chaitheamar súil thar na blianta le roinnt grianghraf ó Naíonáin Bheaga suas chomh fada le Rang a 6. Rinneadh cur síos ar an seanam, áit gur pléadh roinnt cuimhní agus na buaicphointí a bhí ag daltaí Rang Chiara agus Rang Lorcán thar na blianta. Níl aon dabht ach gur dá rang iontach cairdiúil, cumasach, dea-chroíoch agus fíor speisialta iad an dá Rang a 6 seo, agus táimid fíor bhródúil astu ar fad. Aireoimid uainn go mór na páistí agus guímid gach rath orthu sa chéad chéim eile dá saol. Maith sibh a pháistí agus comhghairdeas ó chroí libh!

A very special evening took place last night in GSER with our 6th class graduation. We welcomed the students from Rang Chiara and from Rang Lorcán along with their parents, to celebrate the end of their time with us in GSER. On the night we heard some lovely music from the students and the classes also gave a presentation where they showed off some of their many talents including soccer skills and Irish dancing, to name but a few. We looked back over the years with a slideshow which included an array of photos from Naíonáin Bheaga up to Rang a 6. The children reminisced about their time spent in GSER speaking fondly of their memories and highlighting some of the many happy experiences they shared during the 8 years spent at primary school. There is no doubt that we are saying goodbye to a very kind-hearted, caring, capable and special group of children as Rang a 6 fly the nest. We are so proud of them all and will miss having them with us. We wish them all the best as they start their next chapter in secondary school. Maith sibh a pháistí agus comhghairdeas ó chroí libh!
