The children from Primary 4/5 travelled to An Grianán Theatre in Letterkenny to perform their class production of The Wizard of Oz.

This was part of Gael Linn’s annual ‘Coirm’ drama competition for Gaelic medium primary schools from around the country. The class returned to school sporting two victory trophies to add to their collection.

“The children had a fantastic day meeting other children and seeing other Gaelic language plays,” said class teacher Katie Ui Mhanachain.

“They received high praise from the judges and were awarded two trophies which they proudly took back to school.

“We’re very proud of how well the class have performed and congratulate them on all their hard work.”

The children will be hoping to further their success when they travel to Belfast soon to compete in another drama competition for primary school children.
