Scoil Nua, Halla Nua
Táimid sa scoil nua anois. Tá sí go hálainn. Bhí a lán oibre le déanamh. Míle buíochas le gach duine a chabhraigh. Tá Céim 3 tosaithe anois. Tógfaidh sé 6 seachtaine, nó mar sin.
We’re in the new school now. It’s lovely, but it took a lot of work by a lot of people. Thanks to all who helped. Phase 3 – the demolition of the old school – has started. It will take approx. 6 – 8 weeks.
Comóradh 1916
D’éirigh go sár-mhaith le Comóradh 1916 Scoil Lorcáin. D’fhreastal slua iontach ar an oíche Déardaoin seo caite. Labhair na cainteoirí go cumasach agus cuireadh ceisteanna suimiúla. Buíochas leis an gCoiste a d’eagraigh – Alice, Bríd, Cathy, Caitríona agus Colmán. Seacht mile buíochas le gach duine a chabhraigh in aon bhealach. Coimeád an Leabhrán Comórtha má tá sé agat. Níor cuireadh ach 200 i gcló agus níl aon cheann fágtha. Buíochasle CocoDlr as a dtacaíocht.
Our 1916 Commemoration turned out to be a brilliant night. The presentations were very well received and followed by questions. The reception in Cultúrlann na hÉireann was also well attended. Thanks to all who came. If you have a copy of the programme, hold on to it It is already a collector’s item, with only 200 printed. The night was recorded and has been posted on youtube.

We’ll give a guided tour around the new school on Tuesday after our Proclamation Day celebrations which will take place 8.45 – 9.15 am. All parents who would like to have a gawk are welcome.
5 páiste nach bhfuil gaolta le 1916
Tá cúigear páiste aimsithe againn sa scoil nach raibh aon bhaint ag a dtuismitheoirí le hÉirí Amach 1916. Reachtálfaimid seimineár go luath, mar a labharfaidh na gaolta seo ar an tionchar nach raibh ag 1916 ar a saol.
We have at least 5 children in the school whose grandparents had nothing what-so-ever to do with 1916. We will be organising a seminar soon, where these relatives will talk about their ancestors and the effect of not being involved had on their lives.
CCB Choiste na dTuismitheoirí
D’fhreastal slua iontach mór – an slua is mó le 20 bliain ar a laghad – ar Chruinniú Cinn Bhliana Choiste na dTuismitheoirí. Roghnaíodh coiste nua agus Ciara Uí Aodha fós ina Cathaoirleach. Tháinig go leor ‘aghaidheanna’ nua chun tosaigh chun cabhrú agus is iontach sin. Buíochas le gach duine a bhí i láthair.
Coiste na dTuismitheoirí’s AGM was packed, with the healthiest crowd for over 20 years. Lots of new volunteers came forward to help over the next year. Thanks to the outgoing members and to all who attended. The Coiste is always delighted to get offers of help for any of the events they organise.
Leathlá Céadaoin 16 Márta
Beimid ag dúnadh ag 12.00 nóin Céadaoin bheag seo 16 Márta.
We’re closing at 12.00 noon this Wednesday for Easter.
Páirceáil ag imeachtaí scoile
Iarraimid, arís, ar thuismitheoirí, gan páirceáil ach i spásanna ainmnithe ma tá sibh ag freastal ar imeacht I Scoil Lorcáin. Pháirceáil roinnt tuismitheoirí ar línte dúbalta buí agus ar chúinní ag an dá ócáid a bhí again le déanaí agus chruthaigh sé seo dainséar do dhaoine eile.
We’d like, again, to ask parents to park only in designated parking spaces when attending school events. At two recent events – Comóradh 1916 and Aifreann na nGeallúintí – parents parked on double yellow lines and on corners leaving them more dangerous. Give yourself enough time if you do have to drive to park legally and walk to the school. Of course, even better would be to walk, cycle, scoot, bus or DART to the event.
Naíonáin ar maidin
Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí na Naíonán a bhíónn sa line ar maidin gan ligint dá bpáistí a bheith ag rith timpeall na háite. Tá an iomarca daoinetimpeall chuige sin.
We ask parents of infants who are good enough to be in early enough to wait in the line not to let their children run around. There are a lot of people in a small space and we could have an accident.
Turas Ceoil
D’eagraigh Ciara Nic Giolla Bhríde Turas Ceoil do na páistí go léir a sheinneann sa seisiún ag am lóin Dé Céadaoin. Bhuaileadar le dhá scoil eile I gCo na Mí agus sheinneadar ceoil agus chanadar amhráin. Bhain na páistí go léir an-taitneamh as.
The children in Rang 4-6 who take part in the music session every Wednesday travelled to Co. Meath to play music with two other schools. Thanks to Ciara, Donnchadh and Aodhán for the work they do with this group.
