Irish language cooking for children.
A cookery course through Irish for children has just finished in Naíscoil Charn Tóchair in Tirkane, near Maghera.
This was a great opportunity for the children, who are all attending local Irish medium primary schools, to use their own language outside of school.
This was not the only advantage of the course, however, for they learned new cookery skills as well. During the course they made pizza, pancakes, scones, buns and fruit salad. Every one of them thoroughly enjoyed the course.
The advantages Irish medium education gives to children, and the self confidence they have thanks to being bilingual, are widely recognized. After this course, however, in addition to the Irish they already have, being good enough to eat, the young people of Carn Tóchair can also whip up your favourite tasty snack as well!
