Sábháilteacht ar an mBóthar / Road Safety

A Thuismitheoirí, a chairde,

Fé mar is eol daoibh tá se fíor dhainséarach lasmuigh do gheataí na scoile. Táimid mar scoil / Bord Bainistíochta / Coiste na dTuismitheoirí  ag oibriú go dian ar réiteach a fháil agus an áit a dhéanamh sábháilte. Tá dul chun cinn á dhéanamh maidir leis an pleanáil le haghaidh 'Drop-Off Zone' nua agus an bóthar a leathnú ach is próiséas fada atá i gceist. Beidh mé ag scaipeadh update cruinn chughiabh roimh briseadh na Nollag. Idir an dá linn tá orainn na páistí a stiúrú chun a bheith aireach is iad ag teacht is ag imeacht ón scoil. Ba chóir do gach pháiste agus tuismitheoir siúl ar thaobh na lámha deise don mbóthar. Ón Luan 01/12/2014 ar aghaidh beidh mé ag cur iachall ar na páistí é seo a dhéanamh. Mo bhuíochas libh as bhur foighne is tacaíocht leanúnach ina leith.

Dear parents,

As you know it is extremely dangerous outside the school gates. We are as a school / Board of Management are working hard to come to a solution in making the area safer. Progress is being made in regards to the development of a new Drop - Off Zone and with widening the road but it is a long process. I will be sending an exact update to you before the Christmas break. In the meantime we must encourage the children to be careful as they approach and leave the school by foot. Every child / parent / guardian should walk on the right hand side of the road. From Monday 01/12/2014 on I will be advising the children to do this. Thank you for your continues patience and support with this.

Íocaíochtaí scoile ar líne / Online school payments

A thuismitheoirí, a chairde,

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Our school is delighted to announce that we are rolling out the Aladdin ePayment system to parents/guardians of children in our school.  

Our school uses the Aladdin software service for administrative purposes and the ePayment system will give you access from an internet browser on your computer, phone or tablet to make secure payments to the school using your credit or debit card.  The purpose of the ePayment system is to facilitate the easier payment of school money collections for parent/guardians and to reduce the amount of cash and cheques being sent into our school in line with recent central bank directives.  

Aladdin uses state of the art security to safeguard information entered by you and the school and data is stored and processed in strict compliance with Irish data protection laws.

Going forward, when money is due for any school activity that is relevant to your children, you will receive an email message containing your payment access link.  This will bring you to a parent payment page which will contain all payments requested for all siblings in a family.  There is only one link per family ensuring you have the option to pay all amounts due for all your children in one transaction. Once you have completed your payment, you will be issued with a reference number. You will also receive an email receipt which will contain details of the transaction and reference number. Please quote this reference number in any queries you may have as regards this payment with the school.

We hope that you will find the Aladdin ePayments facility useful and that it is a very successful system for all. The secretary or myself will welcome any feedback or questions you may have.

Beidh ceangailt ar suíomh idirlín na scoile chomh maith chun do bhille a fheiscint agus a íoc.

There will be a link on the school website, also, where you can find and pay your bill.

Is mise le meas,

Michelle Ní Riagáin

Meabhrúcháin Rang 2 - An Chéad Chomaoineach / 2nd Class - First Holy Communion

Meabhrúcháin faoi seo (oíche amárach) / Reminder about this (tomorrow evening Saturday 22nd November 2014 )

Dear Fellow Parents,

The next 'Do this in Memory' Mass is on Saturday 22nd November 2014 at 6.30pm in the Parish Church.

The children should bring a fallen leaf to Mass with them, in memory of someone who has died.

If parents would like someone in the community to pray for their child until their Holy Communion, have your child make and decorate a name badge and it will be placed in a basket at the back of the church.

Read the Gospel reading (Matthew 25:31-46) in the last Grapevine Newsletter, it is the one that will be read at the Mass.

Encourage your child to colour page 43 in their Thumb Book.

Again, encourage your child to learn the responses at Mass.

·Pray and do the actions of the Sign of the Cross.
·Priest: The Lord be with you.  Response: And with your Spirit.
·At the end of the Readings the response is: Thanks be to God.
·At the end of the Gospel, response: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ (Page 32 of Thumb Book)

It would be good to arrive 10 minutes before Mass starts and to sit up near the front of the Church. The children need to bring the Thumb Book.
 
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Parents Group.

A Thuismitheoirí , a chairde,

Tuismitheoirí/ All parents

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your child's/children's school has decided to participate in the Food Dudes Healthy Eating

Programme, a programme available nationally to primary schools in Ireland.

The Food Dudes Programme aims to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables. Health

experts recommend that children (and adults) eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables

each day. However, many children (and adults) currently eat less than this.

The programme receives financial support from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the

Marine and the European Union through the School Fruit Scheme – under which the EU has made

funds available for the purchase and distribution of fruit and vegetables to schools.

The programme is managed in Ireland by Bord Bia. It is based on a very successful large-scale

study developed by the Food & Activity Research Unit at Bangor University, Wales. It was trialled

in schools in England, Wales and has reached more than 3,100 schools in Ireland with outstanding

and long-lasting results. The programme in Ireland received a "counteracting obesity" award from

the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2006.

There are two levels of participation in the programme within the school; for junior classes and

for senior classes. The programme involves two phases. During Phase 1, pupils in senior classes in

the school will be offered the opportunity to participate in four tasting days, where they will

taste a different fruit and vegetable on each occasion. They will be rewarded with small prizes

for eating these foods. Phase 2 then encourages children to bring in and eat fruit and vegetables

from home as part of their daily lunch diet. Please see overleaf for some suggestions and lunchbox

ideas.

The aim of the programme is to encourage children to try fruit and vegetables and come to enjoy

the taste of the foods. They also come to think of themselves as healthy eaters who enjoy fruit

and vegetables. The programme takes only a small amount of time in school but will hopefully

result in health benefits for all who participate. Your child will automatically be included in this

programme. However, if for any reason you do not want your child to take part (e.g. if they are

allergic to a certain type of fruit or vegetable), we would be grateful if you could inform the

school.

We hope you and your child have fun with the Food Dudes!

--Your regional Food Dudes Project Manager

TIPS & IDEAS

To help you make the most of the Food Dude lunchboxes that your child/children will be receiving,

we have enclosed some Tips and Ideas below – we hope you find them useful.

Children need lots of energy and nutrients from food, particularly when they are growing. Try to

encourage them to eat lots of fruit and veg (you should aim for at least 5 portions a day) to help

ensure they have the required amount of vitamins and minerals. Variety is one of the keys to a

healthy balanced diet and this applies just as much to the fruit and veg you eat. The more types

of fruit and veg included the better, because different fruit/veg contain different nutrients.

Including a range of colours, flavours and textures can help make food more interesting and

enjoyable. But it can sometimes be difficult to make packed lunches that are varied, interesting

and healthy. We hope you find the information given below helpful.

􀀀 Sandwiches are a popular choice for packed lunches and can be easily filled with a variety

of salads. A mixed salad could be put in the veg tub, to be eaten with the usual sandwiches.

􀀀 Use fruit and veg in different forms, whether cooked or raw.

􀀀 Some vegetables taste good grated (e.g., carrots) and some (e.g., carrots, celery, peppers)

can be cut into sticks, and perhaps eaten with a dip.

􀀀 Have a variety of fruit or veg in a pot and create a 'salad'. You might like to try a fruit

salad of banana, orange, pineapple slices with a sprinkling of raisins and a veg salad of

lettuce, sweetcorn, grated carrot, peas or tomato.

􀀀 Stir-fries can include fruit and/or vegetables. Save some from the previous evening meal

and put in one of the lunchbox tubs.

􀀀 Mix cheese (cubes or grated) with a portion of fruit and/or any of the above vegetable

items.

􀀀 Pack fruit juice in your child's lunchbox instead of cordial or fizzy drinks. Make sure it's

100% pure juice with no added sugar. Smoothies (made mostly of fruit) are also a healthy

fruit drink.

􀀀 Ideas of the kinds of fruit/veg that could be included in a lunch box include:

􀀀 Keep encouraging your child to try new foods - you never know, they might like it!

Cóineartú / Confirmation

A Thuismitheoirí,

Ba mhaith le Fr. Young Teastas Baiste ó gach páiste atá an Cóineartú á dhéanamh acu. Más rud é go raibh Baiste an páiste déanta i gCionn tSáile, beidh an teastas acu. Más rud é go raibh an Baiste i áit eile, beidh ort é a eagrú chomh luath agus is féidir, le bhur dtola.

Dear Parents,

Fr. Young needs a Baptismal Certificate for each child making their Confirmation this year. If your child was baptised in Kinsale, he will have one but if they were baptised somewhere else you will need to organise to get the certificate yourself.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

 

Tuismitheoirí Rang a 1

Múinteoir nua do Rang a 1

A thusimitheoirí,

Tá dea-scéal agam do thuismitheoirí rang a 1 atá ag Múinteoir Áine faoi láithir. Tá múinteoir álainn nua faighte againn daoibh. Múinteoir Áine Ní Liatháin is ainm di. Tá sí ag ionadaíocht linn faoi láthair agus bhí sí linn cúpla bliain ó shin leis. Táimíd an-tógtha léi. Tá afhios agam go noirfidh sí dár Ghaelscoi álainn!

Beidh sí ag tosnú an Luan bheag seo an 10ú D.F. 2104. Mo bhuíochas le hÁine Ní Fhíobhra atá mar mhúinteoir rang a haon ó tús na bliana. Beidh Áine Ní Fhíobhra mar mhúinteoir acmhainne anois don chuid eile don bhliain. 

Parents!

I have great news for the parents of children in Áine's class! We have appointed a lovely new teacher for you! Her name is Múinteoir Áine Ní Liatháin. She is currently in the school working as a sub and has been here several times down through the years and we're absolutely thrilled with her. I know she's going to fit in so well and suit our great Gaelscoil! Many thanks to Múinteoir Áine Ní Fhíobhra who has been with rang a 1 since the beginning of the year. She will now be back working as our Resource teacher for the remainder of the year.

Suirbhé / Survey

A Thuismitheoirí, a chairde,

Le tamall anuas táimid i mbun Féinmheastóireacht sa scoile. Bhíomar ag díriú isteach ar an nGaeilge labhartha i gclós na scoile. Déanadh breathnú/ éisteacht leis na bpáistí i mbun imirt sa chlós agus ansan thánaigh gach múinteoir suas ar sheifteanna chun feabhas a chur ar an teanga  a bhí in úsáid ag a bpáistí le linn an tam a chaitheann siad sa chlós. Chun cur lenár eolais tá suirbhé curtha le chéile againn do thuismitheoirí agus do pháistí na scoile( rang a hAon aníos). Cabhróidh an teolas seo linn go mór is sinn ag cur plean feabhais le chéile. Beidh na páistí ag líonadh isteach a suirbhé le linn am scoile agus beidh Suirbhé na dTuistí ar fáil ar líne ag an nasc thíos go dtí a 12pm ar an Domhnach bheag seo, 09/11/2014.  Líon isteach ceann do gach pháiste atá agat ag freastal ar an scoil. Míle buíochas libh as an tam a thógaint amach chun é seo a léamh agus an suirbhé a líonadh.

I mbliana beimíd ag leanúint ar aghaidh ag cur snas ar an nGaeilge i gclós na scoile agus leis tá sé mar phlean againn díriú isteach ar Mhata Meabhrach le linn ár Féin Mheastóireacht Uimhireacht i 2015. Beidh an teolas faoi seo á sheoladh amach againn chughaibh de réir is atáimid ag dul tríd.

Mo bhuíochas le múinteoirí na scoile atá ag obair go dian i gconaí ar son bhur bpáistí agus ar son feabhsú agus forbairt Ghaelscoil Chionn tSáile.

Dear parents,

We have been busy recently working on our School Self- Evaluation Plan. Last year a decision was taken to focus on the quality of spoken Irish in the school yard. The children were observed in the yard and a record was kept of the level of grammar / language each class had. As a group we analysed these findings and put  an improvement  plan in place for each class based on their particular difficulties. We now want your and your child's / children's input to help us on the next step of this improvement plan. We have put together a survey for parents and another for pupils (1st Class upwards). The children will be filling in their survey during school time and the parents survey is on the link below , it will be live until 12pm this Sunday 09/11/2014. Please complete a separate one  for each child that you have attending the school. Many thanks to you all for taking the time to read this and to complete the survey.

This year we will continue to improve upon the level of Irish spoken in the school yard. Following on from this, we are planning to focus on 'Mata Meabhrach' / Mental Maths as part of our School Self- Evaluation in 2015. 

A big thank you to the teachers of this school that work tirelessly for your children and towards the improvement and development of Gaelscoil Chionn tSáile.

Míoltóga Ghruaige / Head Lice

A thuistí, 

Cuireadh ar an eolas mé inniu (03.11.2014) go bhfuil cás míoltóga ghruaige sa scoil (Rang 1) . Scrúdaigh gruaig do pháiste anocht agus cuir an leigheas cuí air más gá. Tá sé an-dheacair fáilt réidh le míoltóga ghruaige muna bhféachann gach clann ar gruaig a bpáistí féin.Táim ag impí oraibh seo a dhéanamh chun cosc a chur ar an fhadhb go tapaidh.

Dear parents,

I have been informed today (13.11.2014) of  a case of head lice in the school today - 1 st Class . Please check your child's hair tonight and treat it if necessary. It is very hard to get rid of head lice if each family does not look at their own children's heads. I am imploring you to do this to stop the problem quickly.

Meabhrúcháin - Córas íocaíocht nua do thuismitheoirí / Reminder New payment system for parents

Táimid ag cur tús le íocaíochtaí ar line do thuismitheoirí le haghaidh billí scoile. Chun é seo a chur i bhfeidhm tá seoladh ríomhost ag teastáil uainn ó gach clann. Beidh an teolas a bhaineann leis an tíocaíocht seo a thosnú á sheoladh againn chughaibh tríd an seoladh ríomhphost seo.

Mar sin seol ríomhphost chuig na scoile agus scríobh d'ainm i bhosca an t-ábhar le bhur dtola.

We are going to start on-line payments for parents. To set this up we need an email from every family. Information about payments will be sent to this email address that you provide.

So please send an email to the school and write your name in the subject box to get the process up and running.

Ranganna 4,5&6

Bíodh éadaí spóirt á chaitheamh ag ranganna 4 , 5 & 6 amárach an Luan
an 3ú Samhna. Beidh Anthony linn le haghaidh traenáil caide in ionad
ar an gCéadaoin. Tuigim go bhfuil traenáil / cruinniú ag foireann
caide na scoile amárach ag a 2.30 mar sin beidh orthu é a thógaint bog
le Anthony nó gan pairt a ghlacadh in aon chor.

4th, 5th and 6th class pupils will have light football training with
Anthony tomorrow Monday the 3rd of November instead of on Wednesday.
These pupils should wear their sports clothes. I understand the school
team are meeting up after school tomorrow to discuss / train for our
up and coming match so those children will be encouraged to take it
easy / opt out of training with Anthony.
