Turas Rothaíochta Rang 4 / Fourth Class Cycling Trip (29/5/2014)

Buíochas le Dia bhí lá álainn grianmhar inné ag rang a ceathair don turas rothaíochta chuig an Dock. Bhí an-suim acu sa tóraíocht taisce timpeall gnáthóg an trá is d'aimsigh siad a lán feamainn, sliogáin, bláthanna fiána is portáin. Rinneamar ealaín gainimh freisin. Buíochas mór le Carol agus Ger don tacaíocht agus na 'cístí' deasa. Féachaigí ar ár ngriangrafanna.

Thankfully the sun shone on Thursday (29/5/2014) for the fourth class cycling trip to the Dock. The children were very enthusiastic about their seashore habitat treasure hunt. They found lots of seaweeds, shells, wild flowers and crabs. They also did some very creative beach art. A big thank you to Carol and Ger for their much appreciated support and not forgetting the delicious baking! Look at some of our photos (click here).

Tuismitheoirí ar fad. Céad Comaoineach, Rang 4 & 5

A thuismitheoirí, a chairde,

Bhí an-lá againn an Sathairn seo chaite, an 24ú Bealtaine 2014 ag Céad Comaoineach Rang 2, 2014. Chomhghairdeas mór leis na páistí. Bhí crut na hoibre ar an searmanais ar fad. Léigh, chan agus ghuigh na páistí chomh maith. Bhí an iompar go hiontach mar is gnách agus tá sé thar a bheith éasca a bheith an-bhródúil astu. Bhí siad ullmhaithe go maith ag a múinteoirí Siobhán Ní Núnáin agus Máiréad.

Go raibh maith agat mór leis na páistí sa chór. Is dóigh liom go raibh an amhránaíocht agus an canadh do-chreidte. Chuireadh alán obair agus cleachtadh isteach le Múinteoir Alma agus Róisín Ní Shúilleabháin.

Ar deireadh go raibh míle míle maith ag coiste na dtuistí agus na tuismitheoirí ó rang 1 agus ranganna eile a chuir féasta ar fáil sa scoil i ndiadh an tsearmanais. Bhí an chomhoibriú go láidir le feiscint agus bhain gach éinne idir páistí, tuistí, seanthuistí, aintíní, uncail, col ceathracha agus gan amhras múinteoirí an -taitneamh as. Bíonn alán  obair le déanamh chun féasta mar sin a cur ar fáil agus gabhaim mo mhórbuíchas le gach éinne a bhí pairteach ann. Sos anois go dtí an chéad ocáid eile...!

Agus uaidh sin tá sé chomh maith a rá go bhfuil cinneadh déanta go mbeidh Rang 5 AGUS Rang 6 ag dul faoi láimh an Easpaig le chéile an bhliain seo chugainn 2015. D'ofráileadh an socrú sin dúinn agus phléamar ag an gcruinniú Boird Bainistíochta is déanaí é. Is dóigh liom go mbeidh sé go hiontach an dá rang a ullmhú le chéile agus sos bliana a bheith againn ansan. Ciallaíonn sé chomh maith go mbeimíd inár n-aonair don searmanais agus go mbeidh sé trí mhean na Gaeilge. Tá an t-ádh dearg linn go bhfuil sagairt chomh oscailte againn leis an tAthair de Siúin agus go bhfuil Gaeilge ar a chumas aige.

Dear parents,

We all had a wonderful day last Saturday the 24th May 2014 as we celebrated the First Holy Communion of 2nd class 2014. A big congratulations to the children. Their hard work was very evident throughout the ceremony. They read, sang and prayed very well. As usual our children's behaviour was excellent making it very easy to be very proud of them. They were very well prepared by their teachers Máiréad and Siobhán Ní Núnáin.

A very big thank you to the children who sang in the choir (and their parents for bringing them) I thought the singing was incredibly beautiful. They worked very hard with Múinteoir Alma and Róisín Ní Shúilleabháin.

And lastly a huge thank you to the PA and the parents from Rang 1 and other classes who hosted the party in the school after the ceremony. It takes alot of coordination and cooperation to host such an event and everybody -children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and teachers really enjoyed it. Thanks to all involved! You can take a well earned rest... until the next occasion!

Which brings me swiftly onto the next point. It has been decided that Rang 5 AND Rang 6 will go for Confirmation together next year in 2015. This was offered to us to accommodate our Irish language ceremony and to cut down on Bishop Buckley's list of engagements. We discussed it at the last BOM meeting and we decided to go with it. I think it's great to prepare the 2 classes together and have the occasion every second year. This arrangement means we will be able to have our Confirmation ceremony on our own and it will be through Irish. We are very lucky to have an accommodating and open priest such as Fr Young who is so competent as Gaeilge too.

Le gach dea-ghuí,

Sinéad Ní Mhurchú, príomhoide

Sinéad

Dear parents,

Just a very quick note about afew small things.

• The 2nd class '14 First Holy Communion will take place on Saturday 24th May at 11.00 am. The 2nd class children will need to be at the church for 10.30 at the latest to rehearse and go through the various elements.
• As you all know the boys will wear their uniforms for the ceremony with the addition of a blazer with the school crest. 4orm in Carrigaline can embroider this crest on for €5. It takes afew days/up to a week to do this. If any of you have difficulty collecting the blazer a parent who works close to 4orm has kindly offered to collect the blazers for people. A big thank you to her! Phone Hilda and she will put you in contact with the parent if you need to.
• As with other years you will all need to buy the booklets for the First Communion mass. They will cost around €4 for one, €7 for two. There is a charge as we have to have the printed professionally. A note confirming the price will go home this week and you can put in the amount you would like to order. I just wanted to give you prior notice.

We're all looking forward to another great occasion!

Tuismitheoirí Rang 1!

A chairde!

Fé mar is eol daoibh tá an Chéad Comaoineach le bheith ar siúl Dé Sathairn an 24ú Bealtaine '14. Tá go leoir leoir le déanamh ag na páistí, múinteoirí, Coiste na dTuistí agus tuismitheoirí deonacha chun lá an-speisialta a chruthú dos na páistí. Tá sé de nós againn sa scoil go dtagann tuismitheoirí Rang 1 le chéile chun gach rud a eagrú agus a stúiriú mar gur bhur bpáistí a bheidh ag lorg seo an bhliain seo chugainn (Bealtaine '15). Lorg Coiste ne dTuistí roinnt deontraithe chun cabhrú ach níor tháinig mórán/ go leoir ainmneacha isteach go fóill pé scéal é mar sin táim ag impí ar dhaoine teacht chun cabhrú chun lá an -speisialta a dhéanamh den ócáid álainn seo! Tá an liosa in oifig Hilda mar sin téir chuichi nó scríobh ríomhphoist chuichi agus déanfaidh sí d'ainm a cur ar an liosta.

Dear parents!

As you are all aware 2nd class' First Holy Communion is set to take place on Saturday the 24th May '14. Lots and lots of effort and work culminates in this very special occasion, by the children and teachers but also by the PA and volunteer parents. It is customary for the 1st class parents to organise and host the party that's up in the school after the ceremony. The favour will be returned next year when your children will make their First Communion in May '15 and so on. The PA sent a request for volunteers last week but unfortunately at the moment there aren't enough names on the list to host the party. So I am appealing for more volunteers to help on the day to make this the special occasion the children deserve - be it baking beforehand, setting up on the morning, serving teas etc on the day and the clean up after. We really need as much help as possible. It's a fab day but it relies on goodwill so please come forward. The more the merrier and no help is too small! The list is in Hilda's office so you can pop into her or else drop her a line and she'll add your name to the list.

Le mórbhuíochas agus gach dea-ghuí,

Sinéad

We are putting together a May Altar to celebratethe the month of Our Lady. The children are welcome to bring in flowers to add to it.

Tuismitheoirí Rang 2 / 2nd Class Parents

Bhíos ag caint le 4ORM inniú 07.05.2014 agus níl aon fhadhb leis an suathantas a cur ar bléasar ar €5. Ní thógann sé rófhada ach an oiread.

Beidh gach páiste sa rang ag fáilt cárta ó gach phaiste eile sa rang mar sin níl aon gá le cártaí aonair a sheoladh isteach in aon chorr. Má roghnaíonn sibh cártaí breise a sheoladh isteach ní scaipfear iad ach amhain má tá ceann ann do gach phaiste atá ag glacadh leis an gCéad Comaoineach. Táim cinnte go dtuigeann sibh go léir na cúiseanna leis an gcinne seo.

17 gcoladh eile!

I was talking to 4ORM today, 07.05.2014 and there is no problem with putting the crest on the blazer for €5. It doesn't take too long either. 

Every child in the class will be getting a card from every other child in the class so there is no need to send individual cards at all. If you choose other cards to send in they won't be handed out unless there is one for every child that is getting First Holy Communion. I am sure you all understand the reasons for this decision.

17 more sleeps!

Tuismitheoirí R3, 4, 5 / 3rd, 4th and 5th Class parents

Fé mar is eol daoibh tá an Chéad Comaoineach ag druidim chugainn ar luas lasrach! Lá an-speisialta atá i gceist ann agus baineann gach éinne an-taitneamh as idir phaistí, tuismitheoirí agus múinteoirí. Táimid an-bhuíoch as Coiste na dTuismitheoirí agus na tuistí uile ata ag cabhrú.

Táimid ag lorg cabhar ón gcóir scoile leis an amhránaíocht. Tuigim gur Sathairn atá i gceist agus go mbíonn daoine gnóthach ach bheimís fíor-bhuíoch dá bhféadfadh éinne sa chór gur féidir leo, a bheith ann.

Tá nóta beag i málaí scoile na bpáistí sa chór le rá an mbeidh siad in ann freastal air. Seol é sin isteach roimh an Aoine le bhur dtola.

As you know the First Holy Communion is fast approaching! It is a very special day and everybody enjoys it - children, parents and teachers. It's a team effort and we really appreciate all the work and help of the P.A. and parents

We are looking for help from the school choir with the singing. I understand that it's a Saturday and people are busy but we would be really grateful if everyone in the choir would come if they can.

There is a small note in the schoolbags of the choir members today to say if they can attend. Please can you complete and return it before Friday 10.05.'14

Note from Neilie:

There will be examples of both "Mounted and Framed" photographs on display on the day ! For anybody who would like to have their photo's taken before Mass, I can setup in the school beforehand if people have early dinner appointments, I just need to know who's coming and the time ! Also, if a timetable with a list of names could be made out it would save confusion. each family will be 10-15 minutes !

A minimum deposit of €20 is required.

Important – First Holy Communion Parents Rang 2

Some things for the First Holy Communion

• As you know the boys in the class will wear their uniforms for their First Holy Communion. They should wear a Navy Blazer instead of their jumper. The school crest for the Blazer is available from 4orm (€4 or €5) and should we worn on the left hand side of the blazer. The boys should also wear their communion rosette on the left hand side
• In keeping with tradition, this year's Rang 1 parents will host a party in the school for all of the First Holy Communion children and their families as well as the school choir. Everyone is welcome to come back to the school straight after the mass for a cup of tea/coffee, sandwich, cake. Family, relations and friends are more than welcome, however we do kindly ask you to be mindful of the amount of people you bring back to the school e.g. 6/7 adults extra per family is fine.. 10/12 might be a bit excessive.. the more the merrier on the kids. Huge thanks to Trish and Caroline for organising.
• The last "Do this in Memory of me mass" will be held after the Communion on Sunday 22nd June 2014 on the Feast of Corpus Christi at the 12 noon mass. All of the Holy Communion children of the Parish will be invited to walk together in the procession after the mass.

If you have any questions at all please give us a call.

Looking forward to the 24^th

Blitz iománaíochta Rang 3 + Rang 4

Tuismitheoirí Rang a 3 agus Rang a 4:

Bhí an dáta mícheart agam don bhlitz iománaíochta atá ag teacht suas. Beidh sé ar siúl ar an Máirt, an 13/05/14, ní an 6/05/14 mar a cheap mé. Mar sin ní chaitheadh na páistí atá ar an bhfoireann a bheith réidh don bhlitz ar an Máirt. Beidh níos mó ama againn anois chun smaoineamh ar an bhfoireann chomh maith. 

I had the incorrect date for the hurling blitz, its actually on the 13/05/14, not the 6/5/14 as I told the hurling team. Therefore there is no need for those pupils to bring in their gear on Tuesday. Also, the extra week will allow us to reflect further upon the selection of the players for the team, as unfortunately, places are limited. More information will be made available next week.
