Táimid ana bhródúil as ár bhfoireann cailíní Sciath na Scol a bhuaigh an chraobh in aghaidh Baile na Daibhche. Bhí an-lá ag gach éinne a d'fhreastal ar an gcluiche.

Aonach na Leabhair Scholastic

A chairde! 
Ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas a gabhail libh uile as tacú lenár Aonach na Leabhair Scholastic a bhí ar siúl le déanaí. Dhíoladh €2305 leabhair agus dá bhrí sin tá €1403.04 ag an scoil le caitheamh ar leabhair! Coimeadann an Aonach leabhair sin ár leabharainn ranga suas chun dáta agus úr dos na páistí. Spreagann sé sin iad chun léamh agus nach é sin an bronntanas is mó gur féidir linn a thabhairt dóibh? Thar ceann gach páiste sa scoil gabhaim buíochas libh! 

Dear parents, 
As you're aware we held a Scholastic Bookfair in the school a few weeks ago. I'd like to thank you all for supporting it so generously. An amazing €2305 worth of books were sold that week which bought us €1403 in credit to spend on books from Scholastic! This annual event enables us to keep our class libraries fresh and up to date, which in turn motivates the children to read and develop a love of reading -maybe the best gift we can give children? On behalf of every child in the school, I'd like to say go raibh maith agaibh!

Coiméad na héadaí srl sa bhaile go dtí timpeall seachtain roimh dáta an bailiúchán. Ansin piocfaimid áit sa scoil chun na málaí a choimeád don seachtain deirneach. Féach thíos cad tá ceadaithe agus nach bhfuil ceadaithe don bailiúchán.

Ba bhreá linn ar a laghad mála mór amháin an clann. Iarr ar bhur gcomharsana béal dorais/gcairde/ngaolta go léir chun cur leis an bailiúchán scoile seo le bhur dtoil!

Siúlóid Naíonáin Bheaga / Junior Infants Walk

Fuair naíonáin bheaga bronntanas do veisteanna ard-infheictheachta ón RSA inniu. Chuamar ar siúlóid tapaidh leo.

A chairde,
Meabhrúcháin daoibh go mbeidh cead ag páistí teacht ar scoil gléasta suas ar an Aoine seo chugainn (26/10/2018) do oíche shamhna ar son carthanacht Temple Street. Má tá siad gléasta, ba cheart dóibh €2 a bhreith leo do Temple Street. Níl iachaill ar éinne gléasadh gan amhras. Ba dheas rud mór a dhéanamh áfach agus tá alán smaointe deasa ar an nasc seo Trick or treat for Temple Street Tá sé de nós féasta ranga a bheith ag na páistí pé scéal é mar sin táim lán-cinnte go mbainfidh siad taitneamh as. Mar i gcónaí áfach, bí cinnte gan bianna le cnóite a sheoladh isteach má tá cosc orthu i rang do pháiste.
Toisc nach deireadh téarma atá i gceist NÍ BHEIDH leath lá. Beidh na páistí ag críochnú ag an gnáth am.
Dear parents,
A reminder that the children have permission to dress up coming to school this Friday (26/10/2018) for Halloween for a fundraising (hair raising! Muwahahahahaha!😈) party! If they are dressed up, they should bring €2 with them for Temple Street. There is no obligation on anyone to dress up, of course but it would be nice to make it a fun occasion and there are plenty of ideas on the link above. 
We usually have class parties the day of Halloween break anyway so I'm certain the children will enjoy themselves. As always however, please ensure you do not send in products that contain nuts if there is a child with nut allergies in the class your child is in.
As it is not an end of term, there will NOT be a half day. The children will be finishing up at the normal time.

A chairde, 

Beidh oíche eolais do thuismitheoirí ann tráthnóna an 3ú Deireadh Fomhair ag a 7.00in sa scoil, ar bhulaíocht ar líne. Tá comhlacht eagraithe againn chun teacht anuas chun labhairt libh faoi a bheith sábháilte ar-líne. Déanfaidh na páistí roinnt oibre ar seo ar scoil ach is dóigh liom go bhfuil sé an-fiúntach do thuismitheoirí a bheith feasach faoi cad ba chóir a dhéanamh chun a bpáistí a chosaint nuair atá siad ar-líne. Tuigim go bhfuil sé deacair do dhaoine freastal ar rudaí um thráthnóna agus chun cabhrú libh táim sásta DVD a cur sr siúl i seomra eile do aon pháiste go bhfuil gá le breith libh. Ní leanfaidh an taispeántas níos mó ná uair an chloig. Fáilte roimh cách!

Dear parents, 

We have organised an information evening for parents on cyber-safety here in the Gaelscoil tomorrow evening the 3rd October '18 at 7.00pm. We have arranged for an external company to come to give the talk to the parents. 3rd-5th classes have completed online surveys (or should do, tonight at the latest) in preparation of the work we'll be doing as part of our anti-bullying week next week. It's vital for parents to be up to date on how to keep their children safe online. I know it can be difficult to arrange child minders etc so, in order to facilitate you coming to the talk, if you can't arrange any other cover you may bring your children to the school to watch a dvd while you attend the talk. The information evening won't/shouldn't go on for more than an hour. All parents welcome. 

Ranganna Gaeilge do thuismitheoirí
