Dhein ochtar chailín ó rang a haon i Scoil Naomh Fhionnbarra dóirse sióga a phéinteáil.

Tá na doirse scaipithe ar fud Casadh na Spride.

Caifear dul ina thóir chun iad a aimsiú.

Is í Aileen Ní Laoire ag a raibh an smaoineamh agus is é Diarmuid a dhein na doirse

As part of Tidy Towns, the 8 girls of 1st class Scoil Fhionnbarra painted Fairy Doors that will be in Casa Na Spriode this weekend for everyone to enjoy. Look up,Look down,look all around and see can you find all 8 doors.

It was Aileen Ní Laoire that had the idea and Diarmuid that made the doors.

Frásaí na Seachtaine

Is iomaí scéal agus piseog a leanann an chuach in Éirinn/ There are many stories and superstitions that follow the cuckoo in Ireland. 

Sa lá tá inniu ann bíonn gach éinne ag súil lena guth a chloisint mar is comhartha an tSamhraidh í / Now everyone looks forward to hearing their call as it is a sign of summer.

Fadó, creideadh gur bhraith sé ar cioca cluas leat inar labhair an chuach don chéad uair, cioca an t-ádh nó an mí-ádh a bhí id’ chomhair i rith na bliana/ Long ago, it was believed that whichever ear in which the cuckoo spoke to you for the first time, either luck or misfortune was in store for you throughout the year.

Dá gcloisfeá an chuach le do chluas dheas, bheadh an t-ádh leat i rith na bliana. If you heard the cuckoo with your right ear, you would be in luck during the year 

Bhain an chluas chlé le mí-ádh/ The left ear was associated with misfortune 

Níor mhaith dhuit an chuach  a chloisint  agus do bholg folamh nó roimh do bhricfeasta. Ocras a leanfadh é / You don’t want to hear the cuckoo with an empty stomach or before your breakfast. Hunger will follow.

Seanfhocal: “Dá labharfadh an chuach ar chrann gan duilliúir díol do bhó agus ceannaigh arbhar/Proverb: “If the cuckoo speaks on a tree without leaves sell your cow and buy corn.”

An chead choicís de Bhealtaine: ‘Scairbhín na gcuach’ – tréimhse de droch aimsir a bhíonn ann /The first fortnight of May: “Scaraveen” is an anglicised  version of the Irish phrase “garbh shion na gcuach”/scairbhín na gcuach – which means “the rough weather of the cuckoo”
