Bhí an lá sofheicthe lonrach ar siúil inniu.
Bhí an mór chuid de na daltaí gléasta go sofheicthe lonrach.
Maith sibh uilig! Bhí sibh ar fheabhas!
Today was high visibility day.
Most of the pupils (and teachers!) were dressed in high-visibility gear.
Well done to all of you! You were amazing!
Skerries author of GRINGER the WHINGER, Jane Landy visited Scoil Réalt na Mara today.
Jane spent time in both Junior Infant classes to conduct bookwriting workshops and also dropped into Rang 2.
The classes had an amazing time and Jane explained where the ideas in the book came from and engaged in a bookwriting session with the pupils. The pupils had an amazing time learning all about Gringer.
The book was brought to life in a most magical way by Jane!
The picture Book Gringer the Whinger is about a legendary Skerries Dragon and has been fully published and printed in Ireland.
Links below to an Independent news piece about the book and a link to the book website with lots of further information.
D’úsáid Jane a lán gaeilge leis na páistí agus múinteoirí inniu. Maith thú Jane agus go raibh maith agat!

A Chairde,
We are having a High Visibility Day on Friday, December 6th.
We invite everyone in the school community to come to school wearing whatever bits of high viz gear they have.
The children will be able to wear their gear to Tionól and at am sosa and am lóin.
The dark days are upon us and these High Visibility Days are useful to show the effectiveness of such clothing.
Don’t forget to initial any items!
Whatever about these current dark days, Friday 6th is guaranteed to be a bright day in Réalt na Mara!
Ní Neart Go Cur Le Chéile.
Following an application process, were delighted to receive official letter on Thursday from the Minister of Education and Skills, Mr. Joe Mc Hugh, informing us that Scoil Réalt na Mara has been selected as 1 of 6 primary schools nationwide to participate in the pilot phase of the CLIL project.
The pilot phase of the project will focus on a total of 19 educational settings which include secondary, primary and early years settings.
CLIL is a 3 year pilot project to promote the use of Irish as a teaching medium within different subjects and contexts in the school setting and it is an approach that is very much in keeping with the ethos and approach already adopted in Scoil Réalt na Mara by parents, pupils and the school staff.
Year 1 will be a development phase focusing on the Professional Development needs of participating teachers, the development of resources and assessment tools.
We are really delighted to share this news with you and we thank you as parents and pupils for your continued support for the school ethos. We view this as a positive affirmation of all of our efforts to date to promote the natural and incidental use of Irish throughout the school, at home and beyond.
