We were also delighted to receive a grant of several thousand euro from Ciste Dhún Laoi recently as a result of our efforts to promote the Irish language. This money will further fund ICT development in the school. We will expand and enhance our computer room facilities and purchase an Interactive Whiteboard for our new classroom with this grant.

We are one of only three schools in Ireland to receive such an award.

Ghlac an scoil páirt in imeacht Springclean An Taisce ata ar siúl i rith mí Aibreáin. Déanann an feachtas seo iarracht gach duine a chuir amach ag glanadh a bpobal áitiúil. Fuair an scoil pacáiste mór uathu le bibeanna, lamhainní, málaí plaisteacha agus leabhar eolais laistigh. Ar an 19ú Aibreáin thug ranganna na scoile a n-aghaidh ar bhaile an Bhlárna agus ghlanadar timpeall na háite. Dhéanadar sár-jab agus tháineadar thar nais chuig na scoile lena málaí lán.
We carried out a registered clean-up event as part of the An Taisce 'National Springclean' initiative during the month of April. This campaign encourages people to actively participate and take responsibility for litter by conducting clean-ups in their own local environment. On the 19th April, classes in the school were given bibs, gloves and bags and they set out to clean Blarney up! Our bags were full on our return and Blarney was a much cleaner town as a result of our efforts.

Bronnadh Airgid
Bhí an t-ádh leis an nGaelscoil roimh na Nollag nuair a chuireadh in iúl dúinn go raibh an teach tabháirne áitiúil 'The Muskerry Arms' ag tabhairt deontas de luach €500 don scoil. Táimíd fíor-bhuíoch as an dtacaíocht áitiúil seo. Táimíd chun an t-airgead seo a úsáid chun ríomhairí glúine nua a cheannach don scoil.
We were most fortunate in the run up to Christmas to be informed that our school would receive a donation of €500 from 'The Muskerry Arms' in Blarney. We are very grateful for this show of local support and intend to put the money towards the purchase of new laptops for the school. Go raibh míle maith agaibh 'Muskerry Arms'!

Seó na Nollag

Bhí seó na Nollag ag Gaelscoil Mhuscraí le déanaí. Bhí idir amhránaíocht, drámaíocht, damhsa agus ceol ar siúl ar an stáitse. Bhain cách árd-sult as an oíche agus bhí atmaisféar an-taitneamhach ann. Dhéan na múinteoirí an-chuid cleachtadh agus bhí luach a saothar le feiscint i rith an seó. Bailíodh an-chuid airgid ar son na scoile. Féach ar an nGailearaí ar dheis le haghaidh na pictiúirí.
Gaelscoil Mhuscraí held their Christmas show on December 9th. There was plenty of singing, dancing, music and drama on stage and much enjoyment was had by parents and friends alike.
