Comhbhrón leis na hiarscoláirí Marc Ó Treasaigh, Peadar Ó Cofaigh Byrne a chaill Leathchraobh Peile F 18 agus Diarmuid Ó Floinn a chaill Leabhchraobh Iomána F18.
It’s great to see so many past-pupils excelling on GAA and other sporting fields for Dublin and other teams.
An Clós ar maidin
Bailíonn na múinteoirí na ranganna ag 8.35 rn agus ba cheart do pháistí a bheith sna línte faoin am seo. Ní bheidh aon pháiste i dtrioblóid as a bheith déanach, ach ní ceart a bheith déanach muna bhfuil cúis mhaith chuige sin. Is gné de shaol na scoile í an phoncúlacht a luaigh na cigirí a thug cuairt orainn arú anuraidh.
Please have your child in school by the time the teacher collects the class at 8.35 am. No child will be in trouble for being late, but parents may be. The Inspectors noted that we could improve on this aspect of the school when they visited us the year before last.
Geansaithe Contae
Tá cead ag na páistí geansaithe peile a rogha contae a chaitheamh Dé hAoine 15 Meán Fómhair roimh Chraobh Shinsireach Peile na bhFear ar an Domhnach agus ar an Aoine 29 Meán Fómhair roimh Chraobh Shinsireach Peile na mBan. Baile Átha Cliath abú.
Children may wear their preferred county jersey next Friday 15th September to celebrate the Men’s All-Ireland Football Final and Friday 29th September before the Dubs take on Mayo in the Senior Ladies’ Gaelic Football Final. Up the Dubs.
Comhbhrón
Ba mhaith linn comhbhrón a dhéanamh le hAibhlínn Báicéir Rang 1 agus lena gaolta as bós tragóideach a máthair Aoife Baker an tseachtain seo. Suaimhneas síoraí di.
We offer our condolences to Aibhlínn Báicéir in Rang 1 and to her relations on the tragic death of her mother Aoife Baker this week.
Billí Leabhar – Bealach íoctha.
Buíochas leo siúd go léir a dhíol an bille leabhar cheana féin. Don bheagán nár íoc go fóill, b’fhearr linn go n-íocfaí billí ar líne. Muna n-oireann sé sin duit, tá fáilte romhat an bille a dhíol le seic go dtí an oifig.
Thanks to all the families who have paid their book bills thus far on line. For the few families who have yet to pay, this is our preferred method of payment. If this doesn’t suit you, then you are welcome to pay by cheque to the school office.
Síntiús Deonach
Má rinne tú dearmad an síntiús deonach a dhíol roimh an samhradh is féidir é a fhágaint isteach san Oifig go fóill do Choiste na dTuismitheoirí.
If you forgot to pay last year’s voluntary contribution, it can still be left in the office for the parents’ committee. Thank you.
Peil
Beidh cleachtadh peile do chailíní Rang , 5 agus 6 an tseachtain seo i mBóthar Bhaile Thomáis. Roghnófar an painéal don fhoireann ansin. Tá leagan amach na gcluichí thíos. Níl aon gheallúint go bhfaighidh aon pháiste ar leith áit ar fhoireann áirithe. Déanaimid ár ndícheall do na páistí i gcothromaíocht lenár ndícheall déanamh go maith sna cluichí.
Beidh ar thuismitheoirí a socruithe féin a dhéanamh ó thaobh taisteal go cluichí agus traenáil. Ní féidir linne cabhrú anseo ar bhonn chaomhnú pháistí. Beidh Foireann na gCailíní ag imirt Dé Céadaoin i gcomórtas Chumann na mBunscol . We’re having football practise for Rang 5-6 in Thomastown this week after which the panel will be arranged . Matches start the following week until the mid-term on Wednesdays for girls and Thursdays for boys. We try to strike a balance between being competitive and giving as many as possible a chance.
Parents will have to make their own arrangements to get their children to training and matches.
Taisteal ar scoil
Iarraimid ar gach duine leanúint ar aghaidh leis an iarracht iontach ón mbliain seo caite ag laghdú an méid tráchta timpeall na scoile. Is féidir siúl, rothaíocht, scútáil, eitilt nó canoeáil ar scoil. Má tá tú ag tiomáint is féidir páirceáil tamall ón scoil agus siúl uaidh sin. Ní bheidh aon pháiste i dtrioblóid as ucht a bheith déanach. Agus páirceáil go cúramach, pé áit a ndeineann tú í.
It would be great if we could keep up the huge effort from last year in reducing the traffic around the school. Walk, cycle, scoot, canoe, bus, dart, fly or run to school. If driving, park some way from the school and walk from there. No child wil be reprimanded for being late. And, of course, park with due care wherever you park.
Teacht isteach sa scoil i rith an lae
Tar éis do na múinteoirí na ranganna a thabhairt isteach ar maidin dúnfar na doirse go léir. Is gá d’aon chuairteoirí nó tuismitheoirí ar mian leo teacht isteach teacht go dtí an príomhdhoras ansin. Tá an doras sin ar ghlas maignéadach. Scaoilfear cuairteoirí isteach ansin de réir mar is caoi.
Once classes have been brought into school at 8.35 all external doors will be locked, or should be at least. Entrance to the school after that will be by way of the main door, only. This door is on a magnetic lock and visitors must be allowed in by a member of staff
Maidin Caifé Scoil Lorcáin
Maidin caifé don Oispís
Dáta: Déardaoin 14 Meán Fómhair.

Úsáid uaireanta Pháirc an Chrócaigh
Déanann na múinteoirí sa scoil 36 uair a chloig oibre neamhtheagmhála ar chuid de Chomhaontas Pháirc an Chrócaigh. I measc na mbuntáisti 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 ghníomhíochtaí 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 inservice. Of course, the teachers spend many more hours outside of the agreement on activities such as these and on other voluntary work. We usually hold these meetings every second Monday after school time.
Laethanta Gleacaíochta na Naíonán
Beidh Scileann Peile agus Iomána ag na N. Shins le Cionnaith Mac Gearailt ar an Luan ar feadh 10 seachtaine ó 11/9 – 13/11.
Ba cheart éadaí gleacaíochta agus bróga reatha a chaitheamh ar na laethanta seo. Is feidir éadaí gleacaíochta nó éide scoile a chaitheamh laethanta eile.
The Senior Infants will be doing Hurling/ Camogie and Football Skills with Cionnaith Mac Gearailt every Monday from 11/9 – 13/11. Tracksuits and runners should be worn on these days please. Tracksuit or school uniform may be worn other days.
Dialann sínithe
Tá Dialann Scoile ag gach dalta i Rang 1-6. Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí an obair bhaile a shíniú agus a sheiceáil gach oíche. Tá Polasaí Obair Bhaile ar ár suíomh idirlín.
Every child in Rang 1-6 has a homework diary – Dialann Obair Bhaile. It should be signed and the homework checked Monday – Thursday. Our Homework Policy is on our website should you need clarification on any issue.
Leaganacha Gaeilge
Caithimid a lán dua ag cur brú ar áisínteachtaí stáit foirmeacha dátheangacha a chur ar fáil. Iarraimid oraibh an leagan Gaeilge a úsáid nuair is féidir chun tacú linn.
We spend a lot of time encouraging Government departments and agencies to provide bilingual literature and forms. Please help us in this by using the Irish version of forms where possible.
Ranganna Iarscoile
Féach liosta na ranganna iarscoile leis seo. Má tá aon cheist agat labhair leis an múinteoir atá luaite. Beidh na múinteoirí ag tabhairt amach foirmeacha do aon pháiste go bhfuil spies acu ionta.
Complete list of after-school classes with this Nuachtlitir. Talk to the teacher concerned if you have any query. Form for the classes will be distributed to the classes this afternoon.
Grúpa Tuismitheora is Linbh
Tá seomra beag againn a fhéadfaimís a chur ar fáil aon mhaidin nó tráthnóna da mbeadh suim ag aon duine tabhairt faoi Ghrúpa Tuismitheora agus Linbh a eagrú.
We have a small room which we would be glad to make available any morning or afternoon should anyone be interested in organising a parent and toddler group to help with practising Irish.
Laethanta Breithe
Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí gan milseáin ná cístí a chur isteach chuig an rang ar laethanta breithe. Cé gur smaoineamh deas é cruthaíonn sé deacrachtaí éagsúla do na múinteoirí agus tagann sé trasna ar ár bPolasaí Lón Sláintiúil.
We ask parents not to send in sweets or cakes to the class for birthdays. While it is a nice idea it causes some difficulties for the teacher and isn’t supportive of our Healthy Eating Policy.
Cuirí Laethanta Breithe
Gabhaimid buíochas libh mar go ndéanann a lán tuismitheoirí iarracht na cuirí a bheith i nGaeilge nó dátheangach. Tá cuirí samplacha ar an Suíomh nua idirlín mar threoir. Níor cheart cuirí as thabhairt amach ar scoil ach nuair atáid i nGaeilge nó dátheangacha agus nuair atá gach buachaill agus/nó cailín sa ranga ag fáil cuireadh.
Thanks to all who make the effort to have Birthday Invitations in Irish or bilingual. It is a very positive step for promoting Irish. We have samples on our website to help with creating Irish cards. Invitations may only be handed out in school when they are in Irish/bilingual and when all the girls and/or boys in the class are being invited.
Cruinnithe le Múinteoirí
Tá fáilte roimh thuismitheoirí focal tapaidh a bheith acu le múinteoir ag 8.35 rn nuair a bhailíonn an múinteoir an rang ón gclós. Níl an t-am seo oiriúnach chun fadhb a phlé leis an múinteoir. Ba cheart coinne a dhéanamh leis an múinteoir más mian leat ceist éigin a phlé léi/leis.
Parents are welcome to have a quick word with the teacher when the teacher collects the class from the clós at 8.35 am. This time is not suitable to discuss a issue. An appointment should be made with the teacher if some issue needs to be discussed.
Maor Tráchta
Iarrann Jackie Maor Tráchta orainn labhairt lenár bpáistí faoin mbóthar a thrasnú go cúramach ag na soilse. Iarrann sí, chomh maith, ar thuismitheoirí gan páistí a tharraingt trasna an bhóthair sula gcomharthaíonn sise gur féidir sin a dhéanamh.
Our Traffic Warden Jackie asks all parents to talk to their children about crossing safely at the pedestrian lights. She also asks parents to wait for her signal before crossing, rather than bringing their children across before it is safe to do so.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
Éide scoile
Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí a chinntiú go bhfuil an éide scoile á caitheamh gach lá. Is féidir an éide scoile nó an chulaith reatha a chaitheamh aon lá. Ba cheart go mbeadh an éide glan agus néata agus gruaig fhada cheangailte siar. Scríobhaigí ainm an pháiste ar gach geansaí agus cóta, le bhur dtoil.
Please ensure that your child is wearing the uniform or the school tracksuit in school. Both are equally acceptable. Clothes should be clean and tidy and long hair tied back. Please write your child’s name on every school jumper and coat and t-shirt.
Oifig na Scoile
Bíonn Oifig na Scoile ar oscailt ó 8.35 rn. – 12.15 in. agus ó 12.45 in. – 2.30 in.
The office is open from 8.35 to 12.15. and from 12.45 to 2.30.
Páiste as láthair
Cuimhnigh go gcaithfear nóta a thabhairt don mhúinteoir má tá páiste as láthair. Is ceart na nótaí ar chúl an Dialann Scoile a úsáid do pháistí Rang 1-6. In aon chás, níl aon ghá glaoch ar an scoil chun neamhláithreacht a chur in iúl dúinn muna dtéann sé thar 3 lá.
Please remember that , as per Departmental rules – a note is required to explain any absence by a child. The notes at the back of the new school diary should be used for children Rang 1-6. There is no need to ring the school to inform us of absences unless they extend past 3 days.
