Target audience

Múinteoirí ar scoileanna Béarla atá ag iarraidh úsáid na Gaeilge a chur chun cinn taobh amuigh den rang Gaeilge. Fáilte roimh chách!

Teachers in English-medium primary schools from all classes who want to promote the use of the Irish language outside of Irish lesson time. All welcome!

Is bailiúchán de ghníomhaíochtaí gearra don seomra ranga bunscoile é Bizzy Breaks (Sosanna Spleodracha), a chlúdaíonn an ghníomhaíocht choirp agus an t-aireachas. Cuireadh an tionscadal seo i gcrích trí chomhpháirtíocht idir Gaelbhratach, scéim scoile de chuid Gael Linn, agus Foras Croí na hÉireann.

Bizzy Breaks (Sosanna Spleodracha) is a collection of short activities for primary school pupils designed to get children moving throughout the day – now made available as Gaeilge through partnership between Gaelbhratach and the Irish Heart Foundation.

Is féidir le páistí ar gach leibhéal cumais fhisiciúil a bheith páirteach i Sosanna Spleodracha, agus is féidir iad a chur in oiriúint do sheomra ranga ar bith.

Bizzy Breaks are achievable for children of all levels of physical ability and can be adapted for use in any classroom.

Pléifidh Christina ó Foras Croí na hÉireann na bealaí is fearr leis na gluaiseachtaí a chur faoi bhráid na ndaltaí. Roinnfidh sí samplaí agus smaointe maidir leis na gníomhaíochtaí éagsúla sa leabhrán agus an tsolúbthacht a bhaineann leo sa seomra ranga.

On the night, Christina from IHF will go through examples of how best to present and teach the movements giving lots of examples and ideas on how to differentiate and expand on the activities in the booklet.

Díreoidh Deirdre, oifigeach bunleibhéal Gaelbhratach, ar na bealaí is fearr leis an Ghaeilge agus na gluaiseachtaí a chomhtháthú le chéile – is cuma cén caighdeán Gaeilge atá agat féin. Roinnfí sí smaointe agus leideanna praiticiúla dóibh siúd atá ag iarraidh níos mó Gaeilge a úsáid sa rang, agus bealaí le tógáil ar an méid sin de réir a chéile.

Deirdre, the Primary Level coordinator of the Gaelbhratach programme, will focus on how to successfully integrate Irish into your movement breaks, no matter what your level may be. Practical ideas, supports and tips will be shared on how to start using more Irish and gradually build upon this over time.

“Is cúis áthais agus bróid dúinn, leagan Gaeilge den áis iontach anseo a sheoladh. Ón dtús, bhí dearfachas agus comhthuiscint idir Gaelbhratach (Gael Linn) agus Foras Croí na hÉireann tá go leor de na bunluachanna céanna ag an dá fhoireann agus is mór an pléisiúr dúinn torthaí an tsaothaoir seo a roinnt leis an bpobal. Cruthaíonn Bizzy Breaks/Sosanna Spleodracha an iliomad deiseanna chun páistí de gach chumas a spreagadh le bheith ag bogadh i rith an lae scoile. Nuair a dhéantar na gníomhaíochtaí seo trí Ghaeilge, is féidir le múinteoirí beocht a chur sa teanga trí thaithí rialta, dhearfach agus ghníomhach a chruthú do na daltaí.”
- Mairéad Ní Thiománaigh, Bainisteoir Gaelbhratach

“It is with great excitement and pride that we launch the Irish version of this wonderful resource. The shared values between Gaelbhratach (Gael Linn) and the IHF created a sense of positivity and cooperation from day one, and it is a pleasure to be able to share the fruits of this collaboration. Bizzy Breaks provides endless opportunities to get children of all abilities up and moving during the school day. By carrying out these activities through Irish, teachers can bring the language to life through creating regular, active and positive experiences for the students.”
- Mairéad Ní Thiománaigh, Bainisteoir Gaelbhratach
