Our school ceolchoirm March 2017

AN CEOLCHoIRM 2017

Before the ceolchoirm started ,all of the classes came to the hall and got our seats for the concert. After we got our seats our parents ,grandparents and other relations came into the hall. Then Cormac and Mark welcomed everyone and the choir sang Bi Iosa im chroíse and Tá na báid . When the choir sang 1^st class said an irish poem and 2^nd class were singing and dancing to the irish version of Uptown funk.The choir then sang Gur thanig tú and Pegin leitr mór. After that the 5^th and 6^th Drama club preformed a very funny play followed by a selection of irish tunes by our amazing trad group with Ms Ní Lochlainn and Mrs O Harte. Mark and Cormac talked for a while and then Keelin, Katie, Erin, Rachel C, Maria, Hollie, Rachel H, and I all did irish dancing . Then the junior infants did the Hacka . At the end everyone sang the national anthem . Some children got to home early. It was a great day.

An Ceolchuirim 2017

Yesterday we celebrated St . Patrick’s day two days before it happened.

We had a couple of weeks preparation. Nearly every day we had choir and grúpa ceoil.

Fourth class were doing some lovely Irish artwork based on the words” Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine “ and in English that means “we work better together”. The choir had many songs to sing and everybody done something on the stage . The grúpa ceoil had seven songs running into each other , Mo Ghile Mar , Maggie in the woods ,One thing , Spancil hill , Rachel Cooper’s Solo, Eye Level and the Clare Polka. Loads of parents came and many others watched the stream online . 5^th and 6^th class preformed a play in Irish called na trí muca or in English the three little pigs. At the end we all sang the national anthem.

AN CEOLCHUIRM 2017

Yesterday we had a ceolchoirm in the hall and our parents came. There was lovely artwork on the walls of the hall from St. Patrick’s day art to Chinese dragons. So anyway first the choir sang two songs and then 5^th and 6^th sang a song and preformed a poem on the stage. Then Cormac and Marc introduced some of the other classes on to the stage to sing songs and to say poems. After that the choir and trad group sang songs and played music with the help of Miss Ni Lochlainn, Mrs O Heart , Miss Smith and Miss Lalor. A while after that some of 5^th and 6^th preformed a drama. Next some of the girls from our class did Irish dancing. (my dad )Rory Mc Mahon live streamed us and put it up on Clones notice board. Later on we sang Amhrán na bhfiann together. Some people were allowed to go home early after the ceolchoirm. It was great fun.
