Nuacht scoile! Múinteoirí Rang 3 & 4

A thuismitheoirí, a chairde,
Fé mar is eol daoibh bhíomar ag feidhmiú mar gan beirt mhúinteoir ag tosach na bliana seo. Tá seo go huile is go hiomlán as ár láimhe. Níl comhacht ar bith againn ar seo toisc go mbíonn an scoil gafa leis an bpainéal gach bliain. Sin an cúis go raibh ár múinteoirí oideachais speisialta (Múinteoir Áine Ní Fhíobhra, múinteoir tacaíocht foghlaime i Rang 4 agus Múinteoir Alma múinteoir achmhainne i Rang 3) ag múineadh na ranganna seo go dtí an briseadh mean téarma. Fuaireamar múinteoirí sealadacha chun na ranganna seo a mhúineadh go dtí gur deineadh na hagallaimh ceapacháin. Bhí na hagallaimh san ar siúl sa scoil ar an gCéadaoin an 20ú Samhain 2013. Fuaireamar alán iarratais chun na postanna san a líonadh. 
An dea-scéal ata agam ná go bhfuil na múinteoirí roghnaithe anois a bheidh sa scoil don bhliain: Siobhán Ní Bhruacháin a fhanfaidh i Rang 4 agus múinteoir nua, Múinteoir Gráinne Ní Éalaí, a thógfaidh Rang 3 go deireadh na scoilbhliana (Meitheamh 2014). Tosnóidh an múinteoir álainn nua seo ar an Luan an 2a Nollag 2013.
Is oth liom a rá mar sin go mbeidh Múinteoir Aodán ag fágaint slán linn. Gúimíd gach rath air sa todhchaí agus tá súil againn go bhfeicfimíd go luath arís é amach anseo.
Tá súil agam go mbeidh deireadh seachtaine deas agaibh ar fad!

Dear parents, 
As most of you are aware we were functioning without two teachers at the start of this year. This is a situation that was/is completely beyond our control as we cannot appoint our teachers until the panel of  teachers for redeployment is cleared. That is why our Special Education staff (Múinteoir Áine -learning support- in Rang 4 and Múinteoir Alma -resource teacher- in Rang 3) were teaching classes until the mid term break. After mid-term we took on teachers in a temporary capacity until our vacancies were filled following the interview process. These interviews were conducted in the school last Wednesday 20th Nov 2013.
The good news is that we have appointed our teachers! They are Siobhán Ní Bhruacháin who will stay in Rang 4 and a new teacher, Gráinne Ní Éalaí, who will take Rang 3 until the end of this schoolyear (June 2014). She will start here on Monday the 2nd of December 2013.
I'm sorry to say that this means that Múinteoir Aodán will be leaving us. We wish him every success and hope to see him again and again in the future. 
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Dear parents,
We are working on our Christmas play in class at present!! There are a lot of children in the class but don't worry, there will be a part for everyone.

Míoltóga Gruaige / Head Lice


Bhí cás eile míoltóga ghruaige i Rang Múinteoir Siobhán Ní Núnáin inné 14.11.2013. Ba cheart go scrúdófaí gruaig le bhur bpáistí le bhur dtola, páistí sa rang sin ach go háirithe. 

We have been informed of another case case of headlice-this time in Siobhán Ní Núnáin's classroom yesterday 15.11.2013.  Everyone should check their child's hair, especially children in that particular classroom.
Go raibh maith agaibh!

An Chéad Comaoineach / First Holy Communion

Dear Parents,

The next Do This in Memory Mass will take place on Saturday, 23rd November 2013 at the 6.30pm Mass in St. John the Baptist Church.  You might like to take the following suggestions into account to prepare for this Mass.

As November is a time when we notice the cycle of death in nature, the children are invited to bring a fallen leaf with them to Mass to remind them to pray for a loved one who has passed away.  Two parents will collect the leaves as you enter the church and they will present the leaves at the altar.  You might like to encourage your child to colour the leaf on page 43 in the Thumb Book.

You might like to read pages 10-15 of the Thumb Book with your child and you will find the Gospel for this Mass in the last Grapevine.  The Priest will invite the children to stand at the altar for the Gospel and to sit in a semi-circle at the altar after the Gospel.

Please bring the following with you to mass:

A leaf
Thumb book

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start of mass and take your place towards the front of the Church.

We would like to remind you to please ensure that your child collects their copy of the Grapevine at the altar after Mass.
 

The Parent Representatives Group
Fr. Robert

Aonach na Leabhair / Book Fair

A thuismitheoirí, a chairde,
Fé mar is eol daoibh bhí Aonach Leabhair againn sa scoil a chríochnaigh ar an Mháirt. Dhíoladh thart ar €1,700 leabhair ag an Aonach agus uaidh sin bhí cead ag an scoil thart ar €1,000 a chaitheamh ar leabhair don leabharlann scoile. Táimid ag obair ar cúinne leitheoireachta a chruthú sa scoil mar sin cabhróidh seo go mór linn.
Ba mhaith liom ár mórbhuíochas a gabháil libh go léir as uch bhur dtacaíochta. D'oibrigh Coiste na dTuismitheoirí go dian chun é seo a cur ar fáil sa scoil. Buíochas mór leis na tuismitheoirí a d'oibrigh ann gach lá chomh maith leis na páistí éagsúla a chabhraigh leo. Ar deireadh go raibh maith agat libhse na daoine a cheannaigh na leabhair éagsúla. Is iontach an rud é suim sa léitheoireacht a spreagadh sna páistí trí leabhair tairingeacha a cheannach dóibh ach tuigim nach bhfuil cúrsaí airgeadais chomh maith is a bhídís cheanna ag daoine. Táimid fíor-bhuíoch díobh.
Dear Parents,
As you know we had the Book Fair at school which finished last Tuesday. Over €1,700 books were sold at the fair and from that the school had permission to spend over €1,000 on books for the school library. We are working on creating a reading corner at school so this will help us a lot.
We would like to thank you all very much for all your help. The Parent's Association worked very hard to run this at school. Also,a big thanks to the parents who worked there every day as well as the children who helped them. Finally, thanks to you, the people who bought the various books. It is wonderful to encourage the children's interest in reading in buying them attractive books but I understand that the financial situation is not as good as it was before for everyone. I am very grateful to you.

Tuistí Naíonáin Bheaga / Parents of Junior Infants

Táimid ag díriú isteach ar conas breith ar pheann luaidhí i gceart ar scoil faoi láthair. Déanann na páistí an módh 'pinch and swoosh' a úsaid chun a chinntiú go bhfuil siad ag breith ar na pinn i gceart. Tá físeán beag ar you tube a mhíníonn go héasca é. Déan google a dhéanamh ar 'pencil grip 'pinch and swoosh' agus bí ag cleachtadh sa bhaile.
In school at the moment we are concentrating on how to grip a pencil properly. The children use the 'pinch and swoosh' method to make sure that they are holding the pencil properly. There is a little clip on You tube that explains it simply. Google 'pencil grip Pinch and swoosh' and practise at home.
Míle,
Michelle

Pairceáil lasmuigh


A chairde! 
Aithním na fadhbanna pairceála lasmiuigh ach iarraim oraibh a bheith níos coinsiasaí le bhur n-usaid an carrchlós lasmuigh.  Bhíos fhéin greamaithe lasmuigh ar maidin. Thárla sé seo ag 08.55, am atá déanach do theacht ar scoil na bpáistí pé scéal é. Ní bhím timpeall an charrchlós ag an am san riamh agus bhí sé suimiúl an rí-rá a fheiscint. Iarraim oraibh uile 
1. A bheith in am gach maidin. Ba cheart go mbeadh na páistí ar scoil roimh 08.50 ar a dhéanaí. Bíonn cead acu teacht tar éis 08.30. 
2. Gan pairceáil ag an bhfalla clocha riamh. Cuireann sé sin bac le teacht agus imeacht na ngluaisteáin uile eile.
3. Má tá do ghluaisteáin pairceáilte in aice na driseacha, brostaigh thar nais chuige agus saoraigh an spás do dhuine eile -bhí gluaisteáin fágtha ann go dtí i bhfad i ndiadh a 9 a chlog ar maidin.
4. Slán a fhágaint le do pháiste ag an geata -fiú sna Naí-ranganna. Déanann an neamh-spleáchas maitheas dóibh.
5. Gan bailiú timpeall ar an scoil ag na hamannta gnóthacha san. Bíonn Hilda ar fail chun cabhrú libh go dtí 1.30 gach lá mar sin dhéanfadh se níos mó chéile teacht thar nais níos déanaí nuair nach bhfuil brú ó thaobh pairceála de.

Táimíd ag déanamh amach na huimhreacha don bhliain seo chugainn. Má tá páiste sa bhaile go bhfuil se ar intinn agat tosnú i Mean Fomhair 2014 bí cinnte go bhfuil siad cláraithe! Faigh foirm clárúcháin ar an suíomh agus seol isteach é don Luan le bhur dtola mar ta na litreacha curtha amach againn dos na tuistí nua. Nó má tá aithne agaibh ar daoine go bhfuil suim acu a bpáistí a sheoladh anseo abair leo iad a chlárú láithreach. 

Dear parents!
I do acknowledge the parking issues outside but I am asking you all to be more conscientious in your use of the carpark/drop off area outside. I saw the issues first hand this morning when I was stuck in the buildup! This happened at 08.55 -a time that is too late for the children to be coming to school anyway. I am not normally in the carpark at that late time therefore it was interesting to see what is happening. I have some requests that I feel will help the situation.
1. Please ensure the children are in school in good time every morning. The children should be in school before 08.50 and 08.50 at the very latest. The children may come to school from 08.30.
2. There is no parking permitted at the stone wall ever. This interferes with the coming and going of all the other cars.
3. If you have parked by the ditch to walk your child to the gate, hurry back to the car and free up the space for the next parent who wishes to do the same - there were many cars parked there this morning well after 9 o clock.
4. Say your goodbyes at the gate -even to the Infant classes. They know their way to the classroom by now and it is good to give them some independence.
5. Please don't gather at the school in the morning. Hilda is available until 1.30 each day so it would make sense to come back at a less busy time when there's no pressure on parking.

We are organising the numbers for next year's in-take of Junior Infants. If there are any siblings who intend to start Sept 2014 please ensure they are registered! If not, download a form from the site and send it in to Hilda on Monday. We have sent out our letters to next year's parents already so please don't delay. Likewise, if you know of friends or family intending to start Sept 2014, and who aren't registered, remind them to do it asap.

Bíodh deireadh seachtaine deas agaibh! Have a great weekend!

Rang 1&2 M. Máiréad / 1st and 2nd Class - M. Máiréad

A thuismitheoirí,
Beidh na páistí i rang Máiréad ag déanamh obair ar m'amlíne féin an tseachtain seo chugainn (ag tosnú ar an Luan 11.11.2013). Beidh trí ghrianghraf ag teastáil ag na páistí chun an amlíne a dhéanamh. Cinn ó amanta difriúla mar shampla: báibín, 3 bliana d'aois agus ceann reatha.
Míle buíochas,
Máiréad
Parents,
Children in Máiréad's class will be working on my timeline next week (week starting 11.11.'13). They will need 3 photos in order to create their own timeline. Preferably 3 from different stages in their lives. For example a baby picture, 3 years old and a current photo.
Many thanks,
Máiréad.

Tuistí Ranganna 1-4 / Parents of children from 1st to 4th Class

Filteán SALF:
Beimid ag tógaint grianghraf des na páistí le rud atá speisialta dóibh dos na filteáin SALF. An féidir le gach leanbh rud amháin speisialta a thabhairt isteach ar an Aoine 08.11.2013. Mar shampla, d'fhéadfadh siad bróg peile a thabhairt isteach mar go thaitníonn spórt go mór leo, nó teidí beag mar go bhfuil sé an chéad bréagáin a bhí acu.

SALF Folder:
We will be taking a photograph of the children with an object that is special to them for the SALF folder. Can every child take in one special thing this Friday 08.11.2013. For example, they could take in a football boot if they love sport, or a small teddy if it was the first toy that they had.
