Ar an Mháirt 16ú Samhain bhí Ócáid Bhronnta i nGaeláras Mhic Ardghail do pháistí R7, Bunscoil an Iúir agus do chuid iardhaltaí na scoile chomh maith. Ghlac na páistí seo, agus cuid mhór páistí eile, pairteach i gcomórtas scríbhneoireachta anuraidh a d’eagraigh Louise Smith, Comhairle an Iúir, agus ba é an sprioc a bhí ag na páistí na script a scríobh, leis na scripteanna is fearr roghnaithe le bheith léirithe mar bheochain sa deireadh! Ar an lá bhí tuismitheoir na bpáistí, baill Chomhairle an Iúir agus na páistí iad féin i láthair. Bhí aoi – speisialta, Cathaoirleach Cathy Mason i láthar chomh maith agus labhair sí faoin obair iontach a bhí déanta ag na páistí. Shíl achan duine go raibh caighdeán an scríbhneoireachta go hard agus bhain muid uilig sult as na samplaí a chuala muid léite amach. Ár mbuíochas do Louise Smith ó Chomhaile an Iúir agus lucht an Ghaelárais as an fháilte a fuair muid agus comhgairdeas ó chroí leis na páistí a bhain!
On Tuesday 16th November R7 children, as well as past pupils of the Bunscoil an Iúir attended a Prize Giving event in Gaeláras Mhic Ardghail. These children, along with many others had taken part in a writing competition last year, with the task being that they had to write a script. The best scripts were then chosen and these will now be made in to animations and available for all to see! In attendance at the event were parents, representatives from Newry and Mourne Council and Chairperson Cathy Mason, who spoke about how impressed she was with the work that the children had done. Indeed, we were all very impressed with the examples we heard read out and now look forward to seeing the finished animations in the near future. Thanks again to Louise Smith who organised the whole project and to Gaeláras Mhic Ardghail for the welcome on the day and a massive congratulations to the winners!
