Naíscoil
Our teacher is called Múinteoir Deirdre and our classroom assistants are called Múinteoir Sinéad, Muinteoir Lorna, Muinteoir Clíona and Múinteoir Caoimhe. We love coming to school every day. Our favorite activities include: outdoor play, messy play, story-time and singing. We know loads of new Irish words and phrases already, we are learning to share through play, and we are so excited to learn how to ride bicycles! Our Naíscoil is a very special place filled with fun and learning, in a caring and safe environment.
Rang 1
Our teacher is called Múinteoir Nicole, she is so kind and gentle. We love learning to read and write in Rang 1. We still spend lots of time playing both indoors and outdoors, which is great fun. This year we will be learning how to play both Gaelic and football! We take part in music lessons every week, this allows us to explore various musical instruments which help us to develop a sense of rhythm, and an interest in music. We love it! Múinteoir Molly, Múinteoir Orlagh and Múinteoir Annie are our lovely classroom assistants and they take great care of us every day.
Rang 2
Múinteoir Saoirse is our new teacher and she loves having fun with us! This year we will be learning how to read, write, and spell new words in Irish. In Rang 2 we have a different theme each month, which allows us to explore and be inspired by the world around us. We will be trying out lots of different sports and art projects this year, which we will have great fun doing! Múinteoir Sarah K and Múinteoir Sarah B are our classroom assistants, we love playing games and learning with them! Our super teachers help us so much with our work and in learning about our emotions!

Múinteoir Mairéad is our teacher in Rang 3, she is full of fun and laughter, and we love her silly jokes! Múinteoir Rebecca, Múinteoir Toni and Muinteoir Dáire are our classroom assistants. They play with us at break and lunch time, pick us up when we fall, and they are always there to help us with anything we might find difficult. Múinteoir Dáire especially loves playing football with us! We love learning new things and we have so much fun in class, and on our many trips out to St. Columbs Park, the allotments, and other fun places. This year we are excited to learn more Irish words and read new books!

These allow us to develop new skills across the curriculum, whilst giving us new experiences and inspiring us to be our best!

We have a great year ahead as we continue to reach our full potential both inside school and at all the trips we will be on!
Rang 7
We have Múinteoir Alicia as our teacher this year and Múinteoir Erin is our classroom assistant. We have mixed emotions about being in Rang 7 as it is such an exciting year and we get to prepare for our move to secondary school but we will miss GÉM and all the friends we have made here. This year we will be very busy with lots of different trips and events, and we will even be taking part in an Irish language drama competition!
