 <\/p>\n

After a successful first season, the educational and inspiring programme C\u00fala4 ar Scoil<\/strong> returns to TG4 next week, and will broadcast from Monday to Thursday on TG4, beginning on Monday August 31st at 10am. The series will cater for primary school children who attend Gaelscoileanna and Gaeltacht schools as they return to school. Orla N\u00ed Fhinneadha will present the show with help from teachers Miche\u00e1l \u00d3 Dubhghaill, Caitr\u00edona N\u00ed Chual\u00e1in, Joe \u00d3 hEachtairn, S\u00edle N\u00ed Chonghaile and Caitr\u00edona McAtee at different times in the new series.
\n 
\nThe second series will consist of a different theme each fortnight. The theme for the first fortnight of the new series is \u2018An Scoil\u2019 which will focus on returning to school and will help with the adjustment to some of the changes in classrooms and daily routines in the school environment. M\u00fainteoir Miche\u00e1l \u00d3 Dubhghaill will look at the change and continuity of schools in Ireland. He will read an extract from \u2018An M\u00fainteoir Nua\u2019 by \u00c1ine N\u00ed Ghlinn and will show us how to compose classroom rules. Children will be asked to write five goals for this schoolyear and Miche\u00e1l will demonstrate how old CDs can be used as a printing tool in an art activity. M\u00fainteoir Orla will teach words and phrases associated with \u2018An Scoil\u2019, such as items found in school bags and contents in the classroom. She will read a story entitled \u2018N\u00e1 Gabh ar Scoil\u2019 (Don’t go to school) and will investigate which school materials are magnetic.
\n <\/p>\n

The series will be funded by TG4, and advice on the educational content and curriculum will be provided by the Department of Education, Col\u00e1iste Mhuire gan Sm\u00e1l, An Comhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscola\u00edochta (COGG), The Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST), and Gaeloideachas. The advice and experience of Tuismitheoir\u00ed na Gaeltachta will also be included in the production. Meangadh F\u00edb\u00edn will produce the series for TG4. Ethel Burke and Darach \u00d3 Tuairisg are the producers, and recording will take place in Scoil na bhForbacha, in the Connemara Gaeltacht.
\n 
\nWelcoming the announcement by TG4 of its plans to continue the C\u00fala4 ar Scoil in the new school year, the Minster for Education Norma Foley TD said: \u201cI am very pleased to see the continuation of this excellent initiative by TG4. I welcome this provision of high quality language resources to support the learning of our primary school children through the Irish language. I am very pleased that my Department has been able to provide support and advice to the programme team on the programming content. During the period when schools were closed, TG4\u2019s C\u00fala4 ar Scoil became a firm favourite with children, parents and teachers alike. I have no doubt that many teachers will continue to use the many excellent resources to support teaching and learning in the new academic year. I would like to offer my congratulations and thanks to everyone involved.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
