12: Sláinte na nÓg - Seachtain na Sláinte Flashcards
Last Monday, straight after assembly the students heard the principle’s voice on the tanoy system
Dé Luain seo caite díreach tar éis on tionóil chuala daltaí na scoile glór an príomhoide ar an gcallaire
announcing that health week was starting that day and wanting them to give up sweets, chips, burgers and fizzy drinks for a week
ag fógairt go raibh seachtain na sláinte ag tosnú an lá sin ag iarraidh orthu go léir chun éirí as milseáin, sceallóga, burgairí agus deochanna súilíonacha ar feadh na seachtaine
They were told also that there was a good amount of events organised for that week to promote their health and improve it
Dúradh leo freisin go raibh roinnt mhaith imeachtaí socruithe don tseachtain sin chun a gcuid sláinte a chur chun cinn agus a fheabhsú
There was a football game going on later that day between the leaving cert students and the teachers
Bhí cluiche peile ar siúl níos déanaí an lá sin idir daltaí na h-Ardtesite is na múinteoirí
and believe it or not the teachers won
agus creid é nó ná chreid bhí an lámh in uachtar ag na múinteoirí
there were faster, more athletic and more skilled than the teenagers as they didn’t smoke.
Bhí siad níos tapúla níos aclaí agus níos oilte ná na déagóirí toisc nár chaith siad tobac
There was PE on as well in the hall during morning break
Bhí corp oideachas ar siúl freisin as hall i rith sos maidine
When the students went into the restaurant there was a very different menu available
nuair a chuaigh na daltaí isteach sa bhialann bhí biachlár an-éagsúil ar fáil
There was emphasis put on:
- fresh fruit instead of ice cream
- homemade brown bread instead of buns
- they banned fast food
Cuireadh an bhéim ar:
- thorthaí úra in ionad uachtar reoite
- arán donn lámhdhéanta in ionad bonnóga
- agus bhí cosc ar bia gasta
On Saturday there was a walk organised out in the countryside
Ar an Satharn bhí siúlóid socruithe amuigh faoin tuath
and the sponsorship that they all got was great. They collected more than 500 euro to buy new sports equipment.
agus b’iontach an urraíocht a fuair gach duine. Bhailigh siad breis is 500 euro chun trealamh nua spóirt a cheannach
The were lucky as the weather was amazing that day
bhí an t-ádh orthu toisc go raibh an aimsir go h-iontach an lá sin
The next Monday the teachers met with the leaving cert students and they gave them great praise
An Luan dár gcionn bhuail an múinteoir le daltaí na hAirtesite agus is iontach an moladh a thug sí dóibh
Even though they had made a great improvement on their eating habits, there were extra problems to overcome still
Cé go raibh feabhas mór tagtha ar a gcuid nósanna ite bhí fadhbanna sa bhreis le sarú fós
She asked them to talk to their own friends in other schools to encourage them to do the same thing as the health problem in Ireland was very controversial all over the country
D’iarr sí orthu labahirt lena gcairde féin i scoileanna eile chun iad a spreagadh chun an rud céanna a dhéanamh toisc go raibh fadhb na sláinte ina cnámh spairne ar fud na tíre
