Cúram 1.15 – 2.15 Dúnta 5 Feabhra 2020
Beidh Cúram 1.15 – 2.15 Scoil Lorcáin dúnta ar an gCéadaoin 5 Feabhra, mar nach mbeidh foireann againn chun é a reachtáil. Gabhaimid ár leithscéal as seo.
Tá formhór acu siúd atá ag obair sa Chúram og obair sna seirbhísí luathoideachais – naíonraí is eile. Tá léirsiú ar siúl ag an earnáil sin 5/2 chun brú a chur ar an rialtas acmhainní agus eagar cuí a chur ar fáil. Beidh Naíonra Lorcáin agus Explorers Cúram Iarscoile Scoil Lorcáin dúnta ar an lá, chomh maith, agus na hoibrithe ag glacadh páirte sa léirsiú.
Cuirfimid spás ar fáil idir 1.15 – 2.15in ar an lá, do thuismitheoirí/ feighlithe a bheidh ag fanacht chun páistí níos sine a bhailiú ag 2:15 in.
Our Cúram 1.15 – 2.15 will be closed Wednesday 5th February because we won’t have the staff to run it. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Most of those working in the Cúram are working in Early Childhood Education. This sector is staging a protest on the 5th to encourage the government to provide suitable funding and regulation. Both Naíonra Lorcáin and Explorers Afterschool Care will be closed on the 5th also. They and we would appreciate your support.
We will provide a space on the day 1.15 – 2.15 pm for parents/ minders who will be collecting older children at 2.15 pm.
Fadhbanna Forbartha
Mar eolas, tá fadbhanna fós againn le gnéithe éagsúla den bhforbairt a deineadh ar an scoil idir 5 – 8 mbliana ó shin. I meac na bhfadhbanna is mór tá:
Níl síleáil an halla oiriúnach do chúrsaí spóirt tharla gan í a bheith ceangailte i gceart.,
Bíonn braon anuas ó dhíon an halla agus tá an t-urlár adhmaid ag atadh beagán dá bharr
Theip ar ghnéithe éagsúla den chóras teasa agus tá deacrachtaí lena fháil deisithe
Tá fadhbanna leanúnacha againn le doirse agus fuinneoga seachtracha agus inmheánacha.
Támid ag leanúint ar aghaidh ag iarraidh na bhfadhbanna seo a réiteach ach tá sé deacair dul chun cinn a dhéanamh.
We are still having difficulties with various aspects of the redevelopment we underwent some 5 – 8 years ago. Amongst the main issues we face are:
Our sports’ hall ceiling not being suitable for sports, as it’s not braced properly
Leaks in the hall roof, leading to some swelling of the wooden floor
Various elements of the heating system failing and problems getting them fixed.
Continuous internal and external problems with windows and doors.
We are continuing with our efforts to resolve these problems, but progress is frustratingly slow.
Boscaí nua bána Athchúrsála
Glactar le gach saghas paicéad criospaí, brioscaí agus craiceirí. Ní ghlactar le boscaí pringles ná málaí grán rósta. Buíochas le Fo-choiste Glas Chumann na dTuismitheoirí.
We have new white recycling boxes in the front bicycle shelter. They take all biscuit, crisp and cracker packaging. They don’t take popcorn bags or pringle containers.
Pacáistiú Lóin á sheoladh abhaile againn
Beidh bruscar lóin á sheoladh abhaile againn as seo amach I mboscaí lóin na bpáistí. Bhí an iomarca múirín againn le déileáil leis. Cheapamar, chomh maith, go n-ardódh sé feasacht ar an bpacáistiú a úsáidtear.
We’ll be sending home packaging etc from lunches from now on. We were unable to deal with the amount of compostable material being generated. We also thought it would help to raise awareness of the packaging involved.
Pas Cuairteora
Go raibh maith agaibh as bhur gcomhoibriú leis an bPas Cuairteora d’aon duine a thagann isteach sa scoil i rith an lae.
Thank you for your co-operation with the new Pas Cuairteora Scoil Lorcáin, our visitors pass for anyone entering the school during the school day.
Gaeilge sa chlós
Buíochas libh as an nGaeilge go léir a labhraítear timpeall na scoile, go speisialta uathu siúd nach bhfuil líofa. Níl sé éasca. Ba bhreá linn gan ach Gaeilge a chloisteáil go hard sa Chlós ag 2.15 in, go speisialta ar an Aoine.
Thank you for all the Irish that is spoken around the school. We appreciate it’s not easy for everyone. We’d love Irish only to be heard spoken aloud in the clós ag 2.15, especially on Friday’s.
Chéad Chomaoineach agus Cóineartú
Beidh an tAthair John Delaney ón gCarraig Dhubh ag tabhairt faoi na searmanais chreidimh dúinn i mbliana. Táimid buíoch dó.

Na Cúinní a choimeád saor.
Fanacht amach as an gCearnóg go hiomlán más féidir in aon chor é.
Thank you for the improvement in parking round the school. Let’s keep it up. Keep the corners free. Let all those picking up Scoil Lorcáin children know.Why not stay out of Eaton Square altogether. There’s no need to drive that close to the school.
Lá Ríomhshábháltachta 11 Feabhra – beidh againn

Cosc ar Ghutháin Chliste
Meabhraimid go bhfuil cosc ar ghutháin chliste a thabhairt ar scoil in aon chor ag daltaí. San áireamh anseo, tá uaireadóirí agus fearas cliste eile, chomh maith – aon fhearas ar féidir rochtan a fháil ar an idirlíonleis.
We’d like to remind you that smartphone and all devices which can access the internet eg. Watches, are not allowed to be brought in to the school by pupils. We appreciate your support in this.
Athchúrsáil Éadaí Scoile
Tá brón orainn ach ní féidir linn glacadh a thuilleadh le sean-éadaí scoile. Níl áis againn chun iad a stóráil. Is féidir iad a choimeád agus iad a thabhairt isteach má chuirimid amach fógra ag deireadh an Mheithimh chun iad a athchúrsáil nó nuair atá éadaí á mbailiú d’Aonach na Nollag. Má tá fonn ar thuismitheoirí córas athchúrsála a chur ar bun, tá fáilte romhaibh labhairt le Colmán.
Nuair a chuirimid meall éadaí caillte amach sa Chlós, tá fáilte romhat aon rud a thógaint, Cuma an leat é nó nach leat. Déanfar athchúrsáil ar an méid atá fágtha.
We’re sorry but we won’t be able to accept recycled school clothes any more. We can’t store them. We may invite you to send them in in June for a recycling week. They can also be kept at home for Aonach na Nollag. If anyone is interested in setting up a recycling scheme for the clothes, please talk to Colmán.
When the piles of lost clothes we have are put out in the yard, you are welcome to take anything, be it yours or not. All that’s left will be recycled.

Croí Cine
Tá eagrán nua den leabhar “Croí Cine” le Seán de Fréine á fhoilsiú ag Cló Iar-Chonnachta. Foilsíodh an céad eagrán sa bhliain 1990, agus tá an-chuid oibre déanta ag Seán le blianta anuas chun cur leis an gcnuasach. Is feidir breis a léamh faoin eagrán nua anseo: https://www.cic.ie/en/books/published-books/croi-cine.
Is seanathair Aoife de Fréine (rang 6) and Sophie de Fréine (rang 4) é Seán.
Beidh seoladh oifigiúil an leabhair Dé Máirt, 4 Feabhra, ag 6:30in, san Irish Writers’ Museum, Cearnóg Parnell. Beidh Alan Titley ag rá cúpla focal. Táimid go léir an-bhródúil as Seán. Ba bhreá le Muintir de Fréine baill phobal Scoil Lorcáin a fheiscint ag an seoladh.
Seán de Fréine – grandfather of Aoife Rang 6 and Sophie Rang 4 – is launching a revised edition of his 1990 bestseller Croí Cine Tuesday 4th February, at 6:30p.m. in the Irish Writers Museum, Parnell Square. Croí Cine is a compendium of Irish writing through the ages and features some of the best examples of poetry, sayings and opinion writing in Irish across hundreds of years. Seán would be delighted to meet members of the Scoil Lorcáin community at the launch.
