Junior Entrepreneur Programme RANG A 6 2018/2019

Tá rang a 6 ag glacadh páirt i JEP i mbliana. Bhí Dragon's Den againn ar scoil ar an Luan 17/12/'18. Cuireadh ana chuid smaointí iontacha ós cómhair na moltóirí le haghaidh gnóthaí agus tairgí nua. 

Tháinig Aidan Duke isteach agus labhair sé leo faoi fiontraíocht agus a ghnó DUKES. Táimid ana-bhuíoch as a chuid ama a thabhairt dúinn.

Rang a 6 are participating in Junior Entrepreneur Programme 2018/2019. We organised Dragon's Den in school last Monday 17/12/'18 where all groups had to present their ideas for mini businesses and products/services. They came up with some wonderful ideas and the Dragons were very impressed with them all! Aidan Duke also spoke to them about entrepreneurship and his business DUKES. We are very grateful to Aidan for helping us with our Junior Entrepreneur Programme.

Today we had our LOW ENERGY DAY 10/12/'18. We switched off all appliances and lights between 1.30-2.30pm. Some classes lit some candles and played boardgames. We spoke about renewable and non renewable sources of energy. We spoke about how we can reduce the amount the energy and electricity we consume.

🎄🎅🤶🎄🎅🤶🎄

A chairde, 
D'iarr SuperValu orainn teacht anuas arís i mbliana chun carúil na Nollag a chanadh tráthnóna Déardaoin seo chugainn 06/12/'18 ag 4.30. Ní leanfaidh sé ach 30 nóiméad nó mar sin de. Táim tar éis iarradih ar na páistí ó rang 3-6, gur mhian leo é a dhéanamh, teacht. Beimíd ag cleachtadh gach lá an tseachtain seo chugainn ag 1.45.  Níl aon brú faoin spéir ag baint leis an taispeántas seo. Níl ann ach píosa craic chun tús a cur le séasúr na Nollag ach táim chomh bródúil go bhfuil an méid páistí sásta teacht agus canadh leis an scoil. Is féidir na páistía fhágaint ann ag 4.15 le tosnú ag 4.30. Gan amhras tá lán fáilte romhaibh fanacht chun féachaint orthu agus canadh! ;-) Ba chóir dóibh an éide scoile agus aon geansaí/ hata/ aon rud Nollagach atá acu! Beidh siad ag críochnú do 5 a chlog.

Dear parents, 
SuperValu has invited us down to the shop on Thursday 06/12/'18 at 4.30 to sing some Christmas carols again this year. It will last about 30 minutes. Children from 3-6th class who want to participate are welcome to do so. I have their names and we will practice every afternoon next week at 1.45. There's no pressure attached to this, it's just a fun way to kick off the festive season in Supervalu. Participants may be dropped at Supervalu from 4.15. We'll be kicking off at 4.30. Of course you're all welcome to come to watch or sing along with us ;-) Children should wear their uniforms with any Christmas jumpers/hats/festive bits & pieces they have. The carols will finish up around 5pm.

Ag ordú / Ordering Christmas Annuals

Ba mhaith liom fáilt amach cé mhéad annuals is gá dom a ordú anois mar ní féidir liom annuals breise a sheoladh thar nais go Folens an bhliain seo. Mar sin tá an uimhir cruinn le hordú ag teastáil uaim. Tá nóta beag seolta abhaile agam i mála scoile an duine is sinne sa chlann ag lorg cé mhéad annuals atá ag teastáil fós. Líon isteach an méad le bhur dtoil agus seol thar nais é ROIMH AN AOINE seo 29/11/2018. Ansin cuirfidh mé an ordú isteach ar an Aoine agus cuirfidh mé an tairgead atá le híoc agaibh ar an mbille scoile.
I would like to find out how many more Christmas Annuals I should order as Folens are not accepting returns this year. Therefor I need an exact number to order. I have sent home a small note in the schoolbag of the eldest in each family requesting the type and number of annuals that you would like to order. (If you have already bought annuals, please just ignore this). Please fill in the amount and send back the slip BEFORE THIS FRIDAY 29/11/2018. Then I will make the order for Folens on Friday and I will put the money you need to pay on your school bill.

Scéal na Nollag / The Nativity

Mar is eol daoibh déanann naíonáin bheaga scéal na Nollag ag an seirbhís carúil sa séipéal. Táim i mbun é a eagrú faoi láithir. Is dócha go bhfuil roinnt éadaí agaibh sa bhaile a bheadh oiriúnach dó atá ró bheag do do pháiste anois. Tá roinnt cinn againn ach cabhróidh sé go mór linn do éadaí a úsáid. Má tá sibh sásta iad a thabhairt dúinn is féidir libh iad a sheoladh isteach chugam roimh an Mháirt seo chugainn an 27ú Samhain 2018. Is iad na páirteanna a bheidh ann ná:

Muire, Íosaef, Aoirí, 3 Ríthe,  Aingeal, Asal, Caora, Bó, daoine sa lóistín, lucharachán, réinfhia, crann nollag, Daidí na Nollag.

As you are aware junior infants do the nativity as part of the carol service in the church. I am currently organizing it. You may have suitable costumes at home that are now too small for your child. We do have some of the costumes but I would be very grateful if you could send in any that you no longer need. You can send them into me before next Tuesday the 27th November 2018. The parts that we have are:

Mary, Joseph, Shepherds, 3 Kings, Angels, Donkey, Sheep, Cow, Innkeepers, elves, reindeer, Christmas tree, Santa.

Míle buíochas,

Mairéad
