WHEREEVER YOU GO
There will be new beginnings
as you move off the old, familiar, well-trodden path.
There will be difficulties
you never dreamed of, moments of doubt,
moments of fear – but there will be amazements too.
A turn in the path - and the world will be at your feet,
another and you will be passing through a wooden ravine.
All along your way there will be new things
To see and taste and smell and touch.
This will be the way you choose.
This will be your happiness, your life.
My thoughts go with you.

Bhí coisir ag na paistí as an
rang
Naíonaire “ Caint le Chéile” an seachtain seo.
Bhí grúpa álainn againn ó
Mí Eanair ar feadh sé mhí,
ag foghlaim trí meán na Gaeilge – ag canadh amhráin,
ag foghlaim ranntaí beaga, ag imirt cluichí beaga
agus ag baint taitneamh as
foghlaim trí Gaeilge.
Bhí an spraoi againn go léir
