Our Seachtain na Gaeilge celebrations are in full swing and to complement all the spoken Irish, we thought it would be a great time to host a traditional music concert. We were delighted to welcome back seasoned musicians, Mr Philip Clarke and Ms Olive Kilbane, to the school. They joined Ms Clarke, Ms Duffy, Ms Casey, Ms Kelly and some talented St Colman's students in entertaining us all with music and dance.
Throughout the day, they held not just 1 but 3 concerts for all classes. We had solo dancers and singers, group figure dancers and wonderful traditional tunes in abundance. From reels to jigs to polkas, everyone was clapping their hands and tapping their toes to the music. To close each concert, Darragh led the children in singing a song called Seachtain na Gaeilge, written by Ms Clarke. Huge thanks to everyone involved in this musical session. What a great way to lead us into the St Patrick's Day weekend!
