Lá Fhéile Naomh Lorcáin 14 Samhain
Osclaíodh Scoil Lorcáin go hoifigiuil Lá Fhéile Naomh Lorcán 14 Samhain 1952 i seomraí i Leabharlann na Carraige Duibhe. Bhogamar go Cearnóg Eaton 1955. Beidh Aifreann á léamh ag an Athair Lomán Mac Aodha ar son phobal na scoile ag an deireadh seachtaine chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar an lá. Beidh ócáid thaitneamhach scáileánúil á heagrú againn do dhaltaí na scoile ar an Aoine bheag seo. Más mian leat sóláiste beag breise a thabhairt do do pháiste féin ar an Aoine, ní imeoidh sé amú.
Our patron saint’s – Naomh Lorcán Ó Tuathail – day is celebrated this Saturday 14th November. Scoil Lorcáin was opened officially on that date in 1952. We started off in two rooms in Blackrock Library and moved to Eaton Square in 1955. Our ex-Chaplain An tAthair Lomán will celebrate a mass for us over the weekend. We are organising a screen-based treat for the pupils this Friday. It wouldn’t be unsuitable to give your child an extra-treat for their lunch, on that day.
Cótaí, cótaí, cótaí
Cótaí gach lá, tuigimid cén fáth.

Coats every day, for in the sun and rain we play.
Please.
Rang Speisialta
Thug triúr ionadaí de chuid na Roinne cuairt ar an scoil Dé Máirt. Táimid níos dóchasaí anois go mbeidh réiteach sásúil ar an gceist seo don scoil.
Three officials from the Department of Education visited the school Tuesday. We are more hopeful, now, of a satisfactory conclusion to this unsatisfactory episode regarding locating a Special Class in Scoil Lorcáin. We won’t count our sicíní, until we receive written confirmation, though.
Cruinnithe Tuismitheoirí/Múinteoirí
Do Rang 2-6, ar siúl ar-líne an tseachtain seo chughainn. Is gá bheith ar an eolas nach bhfuíl aon chead taifead digiteach d’aon chineál a dhéanamh ar aon chruinniú leis an scoil. Ní ceart go mbeadh aon duine eile i láthair sa seomra ach tuismitheoirí/ caomhnóirí.
Teacher/Parent meetings for Rang 2-6 happening on-line next week. It’s important to know that no digital record of any meeting with the school is allowed. Only parents/guardians should be present in the room during a meeting.
Piocadóirí Scoil Lorcáin
Beidh cúpla rang sa scoil páirteach i dtionscnamh go luath lena seolfar fearas bhailiú bruscair abhaile le páiste – nuair is mian le tuismitheoirí páirt a ghlacadh – agus go mbaileoidh an teaghlach roinnt bruscair ina gceantar baile féin. Níos mó eolais ag an am.
Some classes are going to take part in a project – Piocadóirí Scoil Lorcáin – soon whereby rubbish picking gear will be sent home – if parents wish to become involved – and the family collect some rubbish in their home area. More details anon.
An Leabharlann
Tá cabhair ag teastáil uainn le cruth a chur ar ár leabharlann scoile. D’úsáideamar í mar ionad athchúrsála leabhar agus muid ag ullmhú don athoscailt. Má bhíonn tú in ann cuidiú linn aon lá ar feadh uair a chloig nó dhó, cuir do shonraí chuig Jen ag rang6b@gmail.com, ldt. Ní bheidh cead ach ag triúr a bheith sa leabharlann ag aon am amháin de bharr na comhairle sláinte agus ní féidir aon pháistí a bheith leat, faraor.
We are looking for some help to organise our school library, which we used as a book dump while we were preparing for our re-opening. If you are willing and available to help us any day for an hour or two, please, send your details to Jen at rang6b@gmail.com. In keeping with the public health guidelines, a maximum of three people can help at any given time. Unfortunately we can’t allow children/ infants to be present.
Gaelcholáiste nua
Tá iarratas déanta ag An Foras Pátrúnachta, Gaelcholáiste nua a bhunú i mBaile Átha Cliath Theas. Má éiríonn leo, beidh sé ar Ascaill Pháirc an Bhaile Nua, An Charraig Dhubh. Táimid ag iarraidh oraibh tacú leo an líon is mó vótaí ar son An Foras a fháil ó thuismitheoirí sa cheantar a bhfuil páiste i R2 – R6 acu.
Tá eolas breise ag: http://gaelscoil4all.ie/ga/baile-an-bhothair-an-charraig-dhubh-dun-laoghaire/
Is féidir leatsa tacú: Vótáil agus iarr ar thuismitheoirí eile sa cheantar vótáil ar son An Foras (fiú mura roghnódh siad an scoil seo – cabhródh gach vóta leat rogha Gaelcholáiste a bheith agat sa todhchaí!)
An Foras Pátrúnachta, has applied to open a new Gaelcholáiste in South Dublin. If successful, it will be at Newtown Park Avenue, Blackrock. We are asking you to help An Foras to secure as many votes as possible from parents of children in 2nd to 6th class living in the catchment stretching from Booterstown to Dalkey.
Further info is available at: http://gaelscoil4all.ie/booterstown-blackrock-dun-laoghaire/
Help by: Voting and asking parents in the area to vote for An Foras (even if they have another school in mind or wouldn’t choose this school – their votes can help ensure other children can attend a Gaelcholáiste!)
