Gaeilge
Here in Holy Trinity National School, we try and foster a positive attitude towards the learning of Irish. We encourage children to use Irish as a language of communication both in the classroom and around the school. A large emphasis is placed on the teaching of Irish through oral language. This is done through singing songs, reciting poems and rhyme and playing oral language games and activities. Our main goal is to get the children communicating in Irish, to use their ‘cúpla focail’ and give it a go!
The children begin to learn to read and write in Irish from second class onwards. It is important to encourage your child to do their Irish reading as part of their homework, in order to develop their fluency in Irish. We encourage parents to use their ‘cúpla focail’ at home with their children. Below is the link to a fantastic booklet that is very useful for any parents that would like to improve their own Irish.
