(ENGLISH BELOW)
Tá sé doiligh a chreidiúint go bhfuil muid ar ais anseo arís agus go fóill tá srianta Covid i bhfeidhm.
Bíonn an Fheis mar bhuaicphointe ár bhféilire ag comóradh ár dteanga agus aischur na Gaeilge i gCo. Dhoire. Ach ar ndóigh, cé go bhfuil muid ag teacht amach as dianghlasáil eile, ní féidir linn go fóill an oiread sin daoine a thabhairt le chéile. D’éirigh go maith leis an Fheis –ar líne anuraidh, mar sin ghlac muid an cinneadh le Feis Charn Tóchair a cheiliúradh ar líne tríd na meáin sóisialta arís i mbliana.
Bíonn sí mar aidhm na Feise ná an Ghaeilge a cheiliúradh tríd aithrisfilíochta, ceol, amhránaíocht, scríbhneoireacht agus ealaín. Is lá iontach speisialta é Feis Charn Tóchair, ina mbíonn na céadta páistí agus daoine óga as na Naíscoileanna, Gaelscoileanna, Bunscoileanna Béarla agus meánscoileanna sa mhór cheantar ag glacadh páirt sna comórtais agus bíonn deis ag tuismitheoirí á bpáistí a fheiceáil agus a chloisteáil Gaeilge a labhairt.
Cailleadh mór nach mbeidh an t-imeacht seo ar siúl arís i mbliana, áfach ar mhaithe leis an Fheis a cheiliúradh agus dearfacht a chur chun cinn, ba mhaith linn deis a thabhairt do pháistí agus do dhaoine óga, pictiúir nó físeáin d'iontráil s'acu a sheoladh chugainn sa dóigh is gur féidir linn á bpóstáil ar na meáin cumarsáide ón 25 Bealtaine go dtí 8 Meitheamh .
Seol chuig 07752 707744 trí Whats App nó r-phost chuig leonne.niloinsigh@ancarn.org Le hAinm, Rang agus Scoil /Scoil Ceoilan iontrálaí.
(Nb – má sheolann tú físeán nó íomhá chugainn as do pháiste tugann tú cead dúinn na híomhánna agus físeáin a chur in airde ar na meáin sóisialta. )
Bronnfar bonn ar gach iontráil. Ar chríoch na feise tabharfar na boinn ar gach scoil agus / nó beidh siad ar fáil le bailiú ó Shiopa An Carn.

It is hard to believe that we are back here again and Covid restrictions are still in place.
The Feis is a highlight in our calendar celebrating our language and the re-instatement of the Irish language in Co. Derry. But obviously, even though we are coming out of the lockdown we still cannot bring such large numbers together. The Feis went well online last year, so we have decided to celebrate Feis Charn Tóchair through social media again this year.
The aim of the Feis is to celebrate the Irish language and culture through poetry recitation, music, singing, writing and art. The day of the Feis is particularly special with hundreds of children and young people from all the Naíscoil, Gaelscoil, English medium primary schools and Secondary schools in the wider area taking part in the competitions and parents have the opportunity to see and hear their children speaking in Irish.
It will be a huge loss that this event will not go ahead, but as a measure to celebrate the Feis and promote some positivity during this time, we invite children and young people to send us pictures /video clips of their entries so that we can post them everyday on social media from 25th May to 8thJune
Send entries via WhatsApp on 07752 707744 or email to leonne.niloinsigh@ancarn.org with the Name, Class and School / Music School of the entrant.
(Nb – If you send a video or image of your child you are granting permission for the image or video to be uploaded on social media. )
Each entry will be awarded a medal. At the end of Feis medals will be sent to your child’s school and/or will be available to collect from Siopa An Carn.
A full list of poems is available from leonne.niloinsigh@ancarn.org.
From Friday 7th May recordings of the poems will be available to download from our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcLztzG2va2c_QCBcrO5wng
with a range of poems for each age group to help you and your child with the pronunciation of the poems.
Please send via whats app to 07918146063 or email: leonne.niloinsigh@ancarn.org with the name & class/year of the entrant.
