D’éirigh thar bharr le Max Ó Donnchú Déardaoin 21 Aibreán sa Chomórtas Spelling Bee, thar cheann na scoile. D’fhreastail thart ar 75 dalta bunscoile ar an ócáid agus d’éirigh le Max an dara háit a aimsiú. Is mór an éacht é seo is táimid an-bhrodúil ar fad as.
Well done to Max Rang 6 for coming in 2nd place in the Annual Spelling Bee competition, our highest ever placing.
Seaimpíní Fichille Ghaelscoileanna Laighean

Crann do Lúc
Bhí ócáid álainn againn Déardaoin seo caite i Halla na Scoile nuair a dhílsíomar crann caorthainn órga do Lúc Mac Mathúna, iarscoláire a cailleadh i rith an tsamhraidh. D’fhreastal teaghlach Lúc ar an ócáid. Táimid an-bhuíoch dóibh as teacht agus do Fiona agus Mairéad as cabhrú leis an ócáid a eagrú.
We dedicated a Golden Rowan Tree to the memory of Lúc Mac Mathúna last Thursday in the new hall. We’re very grateful to Lúc’s family for attending what was a lovely ceremony.
Scoil Dúnta
Beidh Lá Inseirbhíse againn ar an gCuraclam Nua Teangan agus beidh an scoil dúnta Aoine 3 Meitheamh, dá bharr sin. Seo an Aoine roimh an tseachtain saor a bheidh again.
We are to have an inservice day Friday 3rd June on the newly announced Language Curriculum. The Department have had the great idea of introducing immersion education to gaelscoileanna, and there we were thinking that’s what we were at for the last 60 years. So, there will be no school for the children that day. This is just before the week’s break, so the children, at least, will be happy.
Seantrabh
Tá Trialacha Lúthchleasaíochta á n-eagrú again an tseachtain seo chun foireann lúthchleasaiochta na scoile a roghnú. Beidh na lúthchleasa ar siúl i Seantrabh 23 agus 31 Bealtaine. Buíochas le Gráinne Uí Lúing agus Niamh Uí Chroidheáin, go speisialta, as an obair air seo.
We’re having our trials for the Athletics Team to participate in the Cumann na mBunscol Athletics on 23rd and 31st May this week. Good luck to all the children.

Tá ár nGrúpa Tuismitheoirí is Leanbh a tosaithe arís. Bíonn sé ar siúl gach Aoine 8.40 – 9.40, sa seomra atá trasna ó Oifig na Scoile. Beidh seomra ar fáil do thuisitheoirí le páistí beaga ar mian leo teacht agus comhrá a dhéanamh in nGaeilge. Is é an grúpa a reachtálann é féin. Tá fáilte roimh aon duine ar suim leo é teacht idir 8.40 – 9.40, cuma cén leibhéal Gaeilge atá agat.
We have started up our Parent and Toddler group again every Friday 8.40 – 9.40 am for those of you with younger children who would like an opportunity to speak and hear some Irish. All are welcome, no matter what your standard of Irish is. This group runs itself. We just provide the space and the expectation that an effort is made to speak Irish.
Déanach
Tá 50 páiste ag teacht déanach go rialta. Sin 50 páiste atá ag cailliúint am scoile agus ag cur isteach ar gach duine eile agus iad ag teacht isteach go déanach. Ba bhreá linn go mbedh na páistí go léir sa line ag 8.35 nuair a bhailíonn an múinteoir an rang. Cabhraigh linn, le do thoil. Má tá aon mholtaí agat maidir le conas is féidir feabhas a chur ar chúrsaí, ba bhreá linn cloisteáil uait.
50 children are coming in late regularly. That’s 50 children who are missing class time and who are disrupting the teacher and the children who are in on time. Please, have your child in the line for 8.35 am unless there is a good reason not to be. Please, help us on this. If you have any suggestion as to how we could improve this, we would be happy to hear it.

Déanann na múinteoirí sa scoil 36 uair a chloig oibre neamhtheagmhála mar chuid de Chomhaontas Pháirc an Chrócaigh. I measc na mbuntáistí a bhainimid as an am seo tá cruinniú míosúil foirne (10 uair), cruinnithe ullmhúcháin ag tús na scoilbhliana (6 uair), cruinnithe fhorbairt polasaithe (10), cruinnithe tuismitheoirí/múinteoirí (2) agus uaireanta inseirbhíse (8).Dár ndóigh, caitheann na múinteoirí a lán ama lasmuigh den chomhaontas thuasluaite ar imeachtaí den chineál seo agus ar ghníomhaíochtaí deonacha eile. Bíonn na cruinnithe againn gach dara Luan tar éis am scoile, go ginearálta.
The teachers in Scoil Lorcáin fulfil 36 hours non-contact hours as part of the Croke Park Agreement. The uses we put these hours to include 10 hours spent on monthly staff meetings, 6 spent on a preparation at the start of the school year, 10 hours spent on policy formation, 2 hours on parent/teacher meetings and 8 on in-service. We usually hold these meetings every second Monday after school time. Of course, the teachers spend many more hours outside of the agreement on activities such as these and on other voluntary work.
