RÍ NA LEON/ THE LION KING

Léirigh daltaí na scoile an ceoldráma “Rí na Leon/ The Lion King” i Halla na Scoile ar an Luan 12ú agus an Mháirt13ú Nollaig.    Tar éis an cleachtadh agus an obair ar fad, bhí sceitimíní an domhain ar gach duine. Ar an oíche bhailigh slua mór sa scoil don ócáid mhór agus leis na feistis, an smidiú agus an fuaim iontach bhíomar ullamh don seó.

A leithéid de óiche a bhí ann! Bhí gach rang agus gach páiste sa scoil páirteach. Chuir na caraictéirí ar fad daoine ag gáire agus bhí ciúnas in áiteanna eile – ach níos mó ná aon rud eile , bhí a lán bualadh bos ón lucht féachana a bhí buíoch agus faoi dhraíocht ag na haisteoirí óga ar fad.  Oíche d’ár saoil gan dabht!

Finally, all the rehearsals and learning and organising of costumes was at an end and the big night had arrived.  On Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th December, the pupils of Gaelscoil Uí Riada presented “Rí na Leon/The Lion King” to packed audiences in the Halla.   There was huge excitement, anticipation and some nerves as the crowd gathered for the show- and with full costumes, makeup, sound and lighting it created a magical atmosphere as the curtain finally went up.

What an occasion it was! Each class and every pupil in the school participated and the various characters and classes had the audience laughing, silent and applauding as they acted, sang and danced their way through more than two hours of fantastic entertainment. 

Thanks to all involved in such a production – to all the pupils, their parents, to the fantastic school staff and also to Shirley McCarthy- our Speech and Drama teacher who brought it all together and produced an unforgettable show.
