Litir tábhachtach!!! Important letter in school bags today
28.02.'12
A thuismitheoirí,
Cosúil le gach scoil sa tír (ar domhain, is dócha!) ó am go chéile bíonn cásanna míoltóga gruaige i ranganna éagsúla. Tá sé an-deacair fáilt réidh leo muna bhféachann gach clann ar gruaig a bpáistí féin. Tá míolta gruaige i dhá rang ach go háirithe nachmór ó thosach na mbliaina. Tá sé an-deacair leanúint ar aghaidh ag cur leigheas orthu agus fáilt réidh leo agus ansin iad a fheiscint arís cúpla seachtain níos déanaí.
Táim ag iarraidh anois ar gach uile theaghlach gruaig na bpáistí a scrúdú le haghaidh míoltóige gruaige, leigheas a cur orthu más gá agus an foirm seo a sheoladh ar ais ina dhiaidh ionas go bhfuilimid cinnte go bhfuil sé déanta ag gach teaglach sa scoil. Táim ag ceapadh oíche amárach, Dé Céadaoin an 29ú Feabhra chun é seo a dhéanamh. Ní bheidh aon obair bhaile scríofa ag na páistí chun am ceart a thabhairt daoibh é seo a dhéanamh. Nuair atá sé déanta sínigh an fhoirm agus seol ar ais é le bhut dtola. Beimíd ag lorg gach uile ceann ar ais mar sin seol ar ais ar an Déardaoin.
Táim ag impí oraibh seo a dhéanamh chun deireadh ceart a cur leo ar deireadh thiar thall.
Muna gcríochnaíonn é seo an fhadhb beidh orainn gruaig na bpáistí a scrúdú ar scoil agus deileáil leis sa tslí sin. Rud nach bhfuil ag teastáil ó éinne táim cinnte.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
Dear parents,
Like every school in the country (in the world, I suppose!) there are sometimes cases of head lice in different classes. It is very difficult to get rid of them if each family doesn't look at their own children's hair. There are head lice, in two classes especially, almost continuously since the start of the year. It is very hard to continue treating them and getting rid of them and then to see them again a couple of weeks later.
I'm now asking each household to check their children's hair for head lice, do the treatment if necessary and send back this form afterwards so that we can be sure that every household in the school has done it. I am planning it for tomorrow evening, Wednesday the 29th February. The children won't have any written homework to give you time to do this. When it is done, sign the form and send it back please. We will be looking for each one to come back on Thursday.
I am imploring you to do this to finally put a definite end to them.
If this does not end the problem we will have to examine the children's hair at school and deal with it in that way. Something nobody wants, I'm sure.
Thank you.
Scrúdaigh mé gruaig mo pháistí go léir le haghaidh míoltóga gruaige agus chuir mé an leigheas orthu.
I examined all my children's hair for head lice and have treated them for same if necessary.

Spórt na Chathrach / Rince Gaelach
Fáilte romhaibh go léir thar nais! Tá súil agam go raibh briseadh deas ag gach éinne.
Tá ticéidí Spórt na Chathrach á cur abhaile le rang Sinéad inniú ar deireadh thiar thall. Brón orm faoin moill!
Meabhrúcháin leis na teaghlaigh eile na stubs a cur thar nais chomh luath agus is féidir leis an €2.
Thosaigh na páistí Rince Gaelach inniú leis an Múinteoir Miah ar feadh 10 seachtaine. Bhaineadar go léir an-taitneamh as.
Welcome back everyone! I hope everyone had a nice break.
The City Sports tickets for Sinéad's class will be sent home today at long last. I'm sorry about the delay!
A reminder to the other households to send back the stubs as soon as possible with the €2.
The children started Irish dancing today with Múinteoir Miah. It will continue for 10 weeks. They all enjoyed it very much.

A chairde,
Tá miontráchtas á dhéanamh agam don bhliain dheireanach ollscoile agus ba mhór dom bhur gcuid cabhrach leis an suirbhé seo a líonadh. Is ceistneoir é maidir leis na cláir Ghaeilge a bhíonn ar theilifís RTÉ (cláir i nGaeilge amháin agus cláir dhátheangach) agus ní thógfaidh sé ach 10 nóiméad chun é a líonadh. Dá mbeadh sibh in ann é a chríochnú roimh an gCéadaoin seo chugainn (22.02.12) bheinn thar a bheith buíoch agus ná bíodh drogall ar bith é a scaipeadh ar bhur gcairde féin. Is suirbhé saghas trialach atá ann, má tá aon mholtaí agaibh maidir leis, is é mo sheoladh ríomphoist ná u.mccarthy1@nuigalway.ie. Lean an nasc thíos chun é a líonadh.

Sos Torthaí & Spórt na Chathrach / Fruit Break & City Sports

Tá am Spórt na Chathrach ag druidim chugainn chomh maith. Má theastaíonn uainn a ghlacadh inti (agus teastaíonn!) caithfimid ticéidí a cheannach. Chuireadar ticéid do gach pháiste so scoil chugainn. Táimid á cur abhaile inniú. Cur an "stubb" thar nais (líonta) le €2 chomh tapaidh agus is féidir le bhur dtola. D'éirigh linn go leoir boinn srl a bhuachaint anuraidh. B'fhéidir go n-éireoidh linn i mbliana arís.
We are starting the "fruit break" again in accordance with the healthy lunch policy. It involves a 5 minute break at 10 o' clock to eat a fresh piece of fruit - a banana, an apple, an orange, grapes etc. so that the children will eat more fresh fruit every day. So please can you give your child an (extra) piece of fresh fruit to eat every day.
City Sports time is approaching us also. If we wish to take part in it (an we do!) we have to buy tickets. They sent us a ticket for every child in the school. We are sending them home today. Please send back the stubb (filled in) with €2 as fast as you can. We managed to win a lot of medals etc. last year. Maybe we will do well again this year.
€380 i gcóir 'Hands up for Haiti'

Leabhair Léitheoireacht Naí Shóis. Junior Infants Reading Books.
Fé mar is eol daoibh táimid tar éis tús a chur leis an léitheoireacht Ghaeilge le déanaí. Bíonn na leanaí ag léamh na leabhair seo ina ngrúpaí bheaga ar scoil. Níl ach 14 chóip dos na leabhar idir an dá rang naíonáin shóisearacha. Tá na leabhair seo ana chostasach agus ní féidir ach iad a cheannach ina pacaí meascaithe. Mar sin tá sé ana thabhachtach aire mhaith a thabhairt dóibh. Bímid ag obair ar na leabhair seo gach lá mar sin seol ar scoil iad gach lá. Beidh do leanbh in ann na leabhair a choimeád ar feadh dhá oíche ag tosnú amach.
Tá bileog le liosta dos na leabhair a bheidh á léamh againn i filteán do linbh anocht. Sínigh an bhileog seo fé mar atáimid ag críochnú na leabhair.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh.
As you know we have recently started Irish reading.The children read these books in small groups at school. There are only 14 copies of the books between the two junior infant classes. These books are very expensive and they can only be bought in complete packets. No single book can be ordered. If one is lost 21 must be bought to replace it. Therefor it is very important to look after them. We work with these books every day so send them to school each day. Your child will be able to keep them for two nights initially.
There is a sheet with a list of the books we will be reading in your child's folder tonight. Sign this sheet as your child finishes the book. It is important to look after this sheet and leave it in the folder at all times.
Thanks very much.
