This month we will be learning Irish with the Ducklings!
At the Rosary, we are so lucky to have such a diverse range of children and staff from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. This month, we will be learning Irish which is spoken by many of our Irish students and members of staff, including Miss Barry-Murphy! There are lots of different dialects and accents within Ireland. This video exemplifies the dialect of the Irish language spoken in the province of Munster.
Watch the video to find out more and make sure you teach these key phrases to your friends and family at home.
