Aonach na Nollag
Beidh Aonach na Nollag againn Satharn 2 Nollaig. Scaipfimid níos mór eolais an tseachtain seo chughainn, ach tá gá le hearraí ar ard-chaighdeán, duaiseanna do Roth an Áith agus Seastán na mBuidéal. Agus tar éis sin is uile, tá do chabhair uainn ar an lá le seastán nó glanadh suas. Go raibh maith agaibh as bhur dtacaíocht.
Aonach time will be here again soon. We need high value goods, prizes for Wheel of Fortune and bottle stall, raffle cards to be filled in and returned and for you to come along on the day and enjoy yourself. More info next week. It takes lot of work in preparation, on the day and for clean-up. If you can help in any way, please do so.
Inseirbhís
Beidh an scoil dúnta Aoine 8 Nollaig mar go mbeidh na múinteoirí ag freastal ar inseirbhís ar an gCuraclam Nua Teangan.
The school will be closed Friday 8th December for the teachers to attend inservice on the new Language Curriculum.
Gairdín na Scoile
Tá Gairdín na Scoile i ndroch-chaoi. Ní dhearnamar mórán leis go dtí seo mar go bhfuilimid in achrann le lucht thógáil na scoile faoi. Ach tá sé in am againn rud éigin a dhéanamh. Tá plean curtha le chéile ag tuismitheoir. Ba mhaith linn meitheal a thabhairt le chéile ar an Aoine bheag seo 17 Samhain 2.15 – 3.45 chun tabhairt faoin obair seo. Bí linn má tá suim agat cabhrú. Beimid ag díriú i dtús ar an gceapach os comhair an doras tosaigh. Beidh fáilte roimh iarscoláirí, chomh maith. Caithimís éadaí agus bróga oiriúnacha. Lucht oibre abú. Lucht leapan, fanaigí uainn.
The school gardens are in a poor state. We haven’t done much to them until now because we are in dispute with the development company over them. It’s time to plough on, however. This Friday 2.15 – 3.45 we’re looking for volunteers to help with clearing and planting the area in front of the main door. One of our parents has produced a plan and we’ll do as much as we can. Past pupils also welcome. Wear suitable clothes and footwear. We have tools in the school, but you are welcome to bring your own. Workers welcome. No wallflowers, please.
Ardaitheoir
Bíonn an t-ardaitheoir ar siúl gach maidin 8.35 – 9.00 rn ionas gur féidir bugaithe a thabhairt idir íoslach agus an chéad urlár.
The lift is available 8.35 – 9.00 am every morning for buggies to go between the basement and Ground Floor. We have to turn it off then, for safety reasons.
Ficheall
Tá foireann fichille againn arís i mbliana. Is iad Oisín Ó Riain, Conor Mag Ruairc, Conor Mac Giolla Iasachta agus Emilie Slyne (an chéad chailín le seacht mbliana anuas) atá uirthi. D’imríodar i gcoinne Scoil Naomh Lorcán ina gcéad chluiche i Roinn 1 an tseachtain seo caite. Go n-éirí go geal leo sa léig.
Our Chess Team is competing in Division 1 of the Leinster League this year. We have already played one match and will be playing once a month until March.
Dúshlán Ophelia
Bhain a lán daltaí páirt i nDúshlán Ophelia agus muid dúnta le linn na stoirme. Buíochas leo go léir. Tugadh isteach obair ar ard-chaighdeán. Chrochamar na pictiúir sa dorchla thuas staighre.
Thanks to all the parents who encouraged their children Rang 3-6 to take part in the Ophelia Challenge while we were closed for the storm. The Limericks were interesting.

Limerick :le William Olden
There once was a great storm called Ophelia
That put us all in a state of hysteria
So we tied up our bins
And said Hail Marys for our sins
While the teachers all toasted with Tequila.
Limerick: le Marc Ó hAodha
There once was a great storm called Ophelia,
Whose presence caused quite the hysteria,
With schools firmly shut,
Máistir Ó Drisceoil said ‘BUT’.

( Do This in Memory of Me- Rang 2)
The preparations for the First Communion 2018 got off to a great start in which the Rang 2 children and their families participated in the Church of St. John the Baptist , Blackrock, on the 1 and 22 October during the special Do This In Memory of Me masses . We are very appreciative of Liz Watson and Sinéad Cristall – parents to Martha and Connie respectively – for all that they do to help Rang 2 children participate fully in these masses. We also thank the Class -Representatives in Rang 2 ; Lisa Harpur and Mary-Margaret McCullough for keeping us all up-to-date with the arrangements . Many other parents were involved with providing refreshments after the masses and thanks to them. Finally, Fr. John Delaney ( PP) welcomed us all whole-heartedly to the Church during the mass and afterwards in the Parochial House at refreshments. We are looking forward to the Big Day next 19 May 2018.

Ophelia: le Méabh Stiobhairt
There was a great storm called Ophelia,
That travelled the west causing husteria,
The here in the East,
She was less of a beast,
And more of a storm cause by the media.
Soip
Tá feachtas tosaithe a Néala Ó Móráin Rang 3 Bríd Firtéar chun muid a spreagadh gan sopaí a úsáid. Níl gá leo, de ghnáth, agus déanann siad dochar don timpeallacht. Tá moladh mór tuillte aici. Chun tacú leis an bhfeachtas seo, déanaimís gan na soip más féidir linn in aon chor é.
Neala Ó Móráin has started a campaign in the school to encourage us not to use straws. They are usually unnecessary and do damage to the environment and to wild animals. So, if we can, let’s leave out the straws.
Céilí na Samhna
Comhghairdeas le Coiste na dTuismitheoirí as Céilí na Samhna. Bhaineamar go léir Rang 2-6 an-taitneamh as. Bhí caighdéan ard ag baint leis an bhfeisteas bréige agus post deacair ag na moltóirí. Comhghairdeas leis na buaiteoirí go léir. Gné nua i mbliana ba ea an maisiú lasmuigh den scoil. Chuir sé go mór leis an ócáid agus leis an lá scoile ar an Aoine.
Congratulations to Coiste na dTuismitheoirí for organising another brilliant Céilí na Samhna. The fancy dress was excellent and all Rang 2-6 enjoyed a great night. The external decoration was a new, much remarked upon feature this year. Well done to all concerned.

Lá Naomh Lorcán
Bhí lá iontach againn inné, Lá Naomh Lorcán. D’fhreastal Rang 1-6 agus roinnt tuismitheoirí ar aifreann leis an Athair Lomán. Bronnadh t-léinte ar na Naíonáin Shóisireacha agus scriosán, peann luaidhe agus píosa císte ar gach páiste. Rinne gach rang imeacht a bhí níos taitneamhaí fiú ná na gnáthimeachtaí ranga. Buíochas le gach duine a chabhraigh.
We had a great Lá Naomh Lorcán. Pencils, erasers, cakes were bandied about – in an orderly fashion – Junior Infants got their t-shirts (they will come in handy at our Lá Spóirt later in the school year) and all classes had fun (but educational) activities.

And walked out the door,
Much to the relief of a girl called Delia.
