Gaelbhratach
Tá an Scoil Arailt an brodúil as an dhá Gaelbhratach atá againn. Is scéim scoile í seo dirithe ar scoileanna ina múintear trí mheán an Bhéarla chun labhairt na Gaeilge a chur chun cinn. Tharla a lán gníomhaíochtaí i mbliana agus táimid faoi gheall sa scoil seo ár gcuid comhrá Gaeilge a spreagadh agus a fheabhsú. Cuirfimid fáilte roimh aon dhuine a bhfuil suim aige i labhairt na Gaeilge teangmháil a dhéanamh linn.
Our Targets
An Tionól i rith Seachtain naGaeilge
1. Rannta, Amhráin, cluichí Bos is Lámh, Cluichí Fáinneacha, Rannta Scipéala
There is a strong emphasis on poems, songs, games and skipping rhymes using spoken Irish. In the months of October and November all classes take part in mixed class yard games. These include some games played through Irish. We also encourage the use of our wall games through Irish, with prompt cards available to expand the vocabulary.
4. Amhrán na Bhfiann
All assemblies begin or end with the National Anthem. Children up 2nd class are encouraged to sing the chorus only while the older children sing the verse and chorus.

2. Tionól Scoile
Every month the children attend an assembly where one class shares what they have learned with the rest of the children. This always includes some Gaeilge such as songs, poems or stories.
5. An Ghaeilge agus ábhair eile
Throughout the year all classes participate in at least one non Gaeilge lesson which is taught through Irish. This could include P.E, Art, Science or even Maths.
3. Scéim na gComrádaithe
Every year the children from the senior classes (3 rd to 6 th ) have the opportunity to work with the Junior classes on an Irish language project such as Write a story, Play a maths game, Complete an art activity. This is very successful in allowing the children to use their vocabulary in an enjoyable, informal setting.
6. Cluichí Teanga/Leitheoireachta
Language games, poems, songs and stories through Irish are integrated throughout the curriculum.
7. Greamain nó duais
Each month at Assembly a child from every class is awarded a Gaeilge sticker for making great efforts at using their Gaeilge. The children are proud to show off these awards.
