Coirn ag teacht ar cuairt
Maidin Déardaoin 21 Nollaig beidh Corn Bhrendan Halpin agus Corn Mhig Uidhir agus Corn Chraobh Shinsir Iomána Bhaile Átha Cliath agus Chúige Laighean ag teacht ar cuairt ar Scoil Lorcáin le roinnt de na hiarscoláirí atá ag imirt ar Fhoirne Cuala agus Foirne Bhaile Átha Cliath. Beidh an scoil go léir ag bailiú sa Halla chun comhghairdeas a dhéanamh leo. Tá fáilte roimh thuismitheoirí teacht, ach go gcaithfimid a bheith cúramach faoi líon na ndaoine sa Halla. Glacfaimid grianghrafanna ghrúpaí leis na coirn agus imreoirí, ach ní bheidh am do ghrianghrafanna aonair.
Thursday morning 21st December 8.30 – 9.15 am we will welcome Brendan Halpin and Sam Maguire to Scoil Lorcáin, along with former pupils who were involved in winning these trophies. Parents are welcome to join us, though we’ll have to be careful not to exceed safety limits in the hall. We’ll ask the players a few questions and take some group photographs. Regretfully, there won’t be time for individual photographs.
Páirceáil ag imeachtaí scoile
Míle buíochas leis an bhformhór mór de phobal na scoile a pháirceálanna go cúramach agus go ceart ag imeachtaí scoile.
Thanks to the vast majority of the school community who park righteously and respectfully at school events.
Seastán rothar ar fáil
Tá seastán rothar ar fáil má tá suim ag aon duine ann. Is féidir é a fheiscint ag na ráillí dubha idir dhá chuid an Ghairdín Tosaigh.
We have a bike stand excess to requirements if anyone is interested. It’s at the railings between the refurbished upper garden and grassed lower garden to the front of the school, if you want to have a look at it.
Duán le dua
Guímid gach rath ar Lúc Ó hIarlatha Rang 4, agus ar a dhaidí Shane, agus iad ag eitilt chun na hEilbhéise ar Nollaig na mBan 6 Eanáir thar cheann na hÉireann chun páirt a ghlacadh sna Cluichí Trasphlandaithe Geimhridh. D’éirigh le Lúc glacadh le duán ó Shane Aibreán seo caite. Tá ag éirí go seoigh leis an mbeirt acu ó shin. D’fhill Lúc ar an scoil Meán Fómhair tar éis do mhamaí – Caroline – aire agus oideachas a thabhairt dó sa bhaile go dtí sin. Beidh Lúc ag glacadh páirte sa Sciáil Trastíre agus sa Slalóm Ollmhór. Táimid bródúil as Shane agus Lúc, go speisialta, as seo, ach níos mó ná sin, as an dearcadh dearfach atá léirithe ag Lúc agus ag a thuismitheoirí beirt i rith an ama seo ar fad. Tá breis eolais le fáil anseo: IKA ar obair Chumann Dhuán na hÉireann.
We want to wish Lúc Ó hIarlatha from 4th class and his dad, Shane, all the very best as they fly to Switzerland on Jan 6th 2018 to represent Ireland at the World Winter Transplant Games https://wtgf.org/wintergames/. Lúc successfully received one of Shane’s kidneys last April following a live transplant. Both Lúc and Shane’s operation were a great success, and Lúc was home schooled by his mum, Caroline, post transplant and was fit and well to come back to school last September. Lúc will be joining a group of children from all around the world whom have had an organ transplant and will be competing in a variety of winter sports. Shane will be representing Ireland as a living organ donor in the giant slalom and cross country skiing races. We want to congratulate Lúc and his parents Shane and Caroline for their resilience and positive outlook in dealing with the operations and other challenges since Lúc was born. We’re so proud of them going to Switzerland to represent Ireland at the World winter Transplant Games.
Check out IKA for information on becoming an organ donor and the fantastic work of the Irish Kidney Association.

Dúshlán Léitheoireachta na Nollag
Beidh Dúshlán ag dul abhaile don Nollaig, ag iarraidh ar pháistí labhairt lena dtuismtheoirí agus seandaoine eile, féachaint cén leabhair a léigh siad nuair a bhí siad óg sa chéad seo caite.
We’re sending home a Christmas Challenge later this week inviting the children to talk to their parents and other old people to find out what books they read when they were young in the previous century.
Buíochas an Aonaigh
Edel agus Clíona agus iad ag cabhrú le Daidí na Nollag. Bhí sé an-sásta leo.
Na hiarscoláirí go léir – cumasach agus cúramach.
Jenny agus Mags – Seastán na Leabhar agus an Caifé – cá mbeifeá gan iad?
Caitríona na Ceardaíochta,
Aoife, Mary Anne agus Paula – Bréagáin gan bhréag.
Maria – magnifique
Rós Lucharachán Lán-oilte
Fionán, Cormac agus Matthew – cabhair anseo, cabhair ansin, cabhair go hoíche ó mhaidin.
Gairdín na Scoile
D’éirigh thar barr leis an mbuíon beag a tháinig chun cabhrú sa Ghairdín Céadaoin seo caite. Ach bhí an líon a tháinig díomách. Bhíomar ag súil go bhféadfdh pobal na scoile aire a thabhairt don Ghairdín – bheadh sé go deas é a dhéanamh agus shábhálfadh sé airgead ar an scoil. Bainfimid triail amháin eile as Grúpa Gairdín a eagrú in Eanáir.
The small group that gathered to work in the school garden last week managed to get a lot done. Thanks to all who helped. But we were somewhat disappointed again with the turnout. We thought it would be nice for the garden to be a community effort and that it would save the school money. We’ll give it one more go in January, to see if there is enough interest to maintain the gardens.
Gairdín na Scoile
Ós rud é go bhfiul cruth curtha ar an nGairdín anois, táimid ag iarraidh aire níos fear a thabhairt dó. Ní ceart d’aon duine siúl in aon áit atá plandálta, le bhur dtoil.
Now that we have improved the garden we want to look after it. Please refrain from walking anywhere there is planting.
Go raibh maith agat.

Tá fo-choiste de thriúr ó Choiste na dTuismitheoirí ag obair faoi láthair ar athbhreithniú ar Bhunreacht Choiste na dTuismitheoirí do 2018. Tá inchur faighte agus á fháil ón Choiste ar seo . Bhéimis buíoch tuairimí, moltaí agus inchur a fháil ó thuismitheoirí na scoile chomh maith ar ról, struchtúr agus feidhmíocht an choiste. Tá leagan i nGaeilge agus leagan i mBéarla den bhunreacht mar atá faoi láthair ar shuíomh idirlín na scoile .

Teacht isteach ar maidin
Ba cheart do pháistí a bheith sna línte ag 8.35 rn chun teacht isteach leis an gcuid eile den rang. Ní ceart do thuismitheoirí agus páistí a bheith ag teacht isteach an doras tosaigh ag an am seo. Tar isteach an doras céanna leis an gcuid eile den rang, le do thoil.
Pupils should be in their line at 8.35 am when the teacher collects the class. Parents and children shouldn’t be coming in the main door at this time. Go around and come in the same door as the rest of the class, please.
Ciseáin Ghlasa Siopaí
Ba bhreá linn aon chiseán ghlasa thorthaí shiopaí a fháil, má siad caite sa tigín agaibh agus gan aon ghrá á mothú acu. Tá siad i bhfad níos seasmhaí ná na boscaí atá ar fáil sna siopaí, do scoil go speisialta.
If anybody has unwanted green baskets at home, such as are used in supermarkets for fruit etc. we would be happy to get them. They are very durable, while the boxes you buy in shops can’t take the wear and tear of a school.
Epi-pen
Fuaireamar mála Spiderman tar éis an Aonaigh agus epi-pen agus ionalálaitheaoir ann. An leatsa iad?
A spiderman bag with an epi-pen and inhaler was found after the Aonach. Colmán has it if it’s yours.
