Lámh Sign of the Week

Sign of the Week: Chocolate 🍫 

This week, we’re celebrating one of our favorite treats – Chocolate! Whether you’re indulging in Easter chocolates, planning a sweet dessert or just craving your go-to chocolate bar, this sign is perfect for adding a little extra fun to your conversations. Here’s how to sign “chocolate” using Lámh:

Directions:

  1. Handshape: Start with both hands in a ‘C’ handshape (think of holding a small cup).
  2. Position: Place your palms facing up and position your hands in front of your chest.
  3. Movement: Move both hands toward each other in the center and then back out again. It’s like giving chocolate a little “hug” before sharing the sweet treat!

It’s that easy! Practice this sign next time you’re talking about your favorite chocolate or enjoying those Easter treats.

Happy signing and wishing you a wonderful Easter filled with joy, chocolates and sweet moments! 🐰✨

Lámh Sign of the Week: “Thank You”

🌟 This week’s Lámh sign is a simple but powerful one: “Thank You.” 🌟

Expressing gratitude is a universal gesture, and in Lámh, the sign for “thank you” is just as meaningful. Whether you’re saying it to a friend, a teacher, or a family member, it’s a lovely way to show appreciation. 🙏

How to Sign “Thank You” in Lámh:

  1. Use your right hand in an ‘L’ handshape, with the palm facing yourself.
  2. Touch your fingertips to your chin.
  3. Move your hand outward from your chin, keeping the handshape intact.

That’s it! You’ve just signed “thank you” in Lámh. 😊

✨ Keep practicing and incorporate it into your daily conversations. Saying “thank you” is always a kind and meaningful gesture, whether it’s with spoken words or Lámh signs.

Let’s spread kindness, one sign at a time! 💬🤗

March Fun in 5th Class

March was a busy month in St. Gabriel’s NS but one of the highlights was definitely Seachtain na Gaeilge. 5th Class had a fantastic time learning the Brush Dance and the Walls of Limerick céilí dance, listening to traditional Irish music as well as story reading as Gaeilge.
