Mr O’Leary’s class had a wonderful day at the Glucksman’s ‘Domain of the Dinosaurs’ Exhibition, where they enjoyed exploring the dinosaur displays and learning fascinating facts about prehistoric life. They even made their own fossils from clay, followed by a picnic and walking tour of UCC.

“Cé leis é seo?” 🤔🇮🇪
“Is liomsa é!” 😊
“Ní liomsa é!” 🙅♂️
📚✨
It means:
Cé leis é seo? – Whose is this?
Is liomsa é! – It’s mine!
Ní liomsa é! – It’s not mine!
These are great phrases to use in class or at home when talking about belongings.
