Buíochas
Míle buíochas libh go léir as tús iontach a chur leis an mbliain scoile. Tá caighdeán ard bainte amach againn maidir le: obair, iompar, Gaeilge, poncúlacht, éide scoile. Cabhraíonn na nithe seo go léir linn na hard-chaighdeáin a bhíonn á lorg againn a bhaint amach. Leanaimís leis an bponcúlacht, ach go háirithe.
Thanks to all of you for a great start to the new school year. The standard of work, Irish, behaviour, punctuality, uniform has been excellent. All these help us to maintain high standards in Scoil Lorcáin. Punctuality tends to slip after a few weeks. Please help us to buck this trend.
Gníomh ar son na timpeallachta
Tá pobal na scoile ag eagrú gníomh eile ar son na timpeallachta agus na haeráide. D’éirigh an-mhaith le gníomh na bliana seo caite.
13/9 Aoine an Ullmhúcháin, postaeir á ndearadh agus á ndathú I Halla Scoil Lorcáin 2.15 – 3.45 in. Fáilte roimh pháistí, ach iad a bheith faoi chúram dhuine fásta. Beidh cabhair ag teastáil ó na daoine fásta.
20/9 Aoine an Ghnímh, bailiú i gclós na scoile 2.15 in, máirseáil go Halla an Chontae, litir a thabhairt isteach ón gCoiste Glas thar cheann phobal na scoile.
The school community is organising another Climate Action Event.
Friday 13/9, Day of Preparation: children/ parents/ minders are welcome to the school hall to create posters. All children must be in the care of an adult. While we understand that not all parents/minders are fluent, as a school event all pupils are expected to speak Irish and should be encouraged to do so.
Friday 20/9 Day of Action: those taking part will gather in Clós na Scoile and will march to Dún Laoghaire County Hall to hand in a letter written on our behalf by our Coiste Glas/ Green Schools Committee. We will all go our own way from there. School hig-viz will be distributed and collected.
Lá Inseirbhíse
Beidh an scoil dúnta Luan 11 Samhain agus na múinteoirí ag freastal ar inseirbhís ar an gCuraclam Nua Teanga.

Seastáin

An tAthair Lomán Mac Aodha
Is le doilíos croí a chuirimid iúl go bhfuil Séipléineach na Scoile le breise is 25 bliain tar éis éirí as a chúram anseo sa scoil. Tá aire tugtha do phoball uile na scoile ag an Athair Lomán san am sin, idir Chéad Fhaoistin, Chéad Chomaoineach, Aifreann na nGeallúintí, Cóineartú, Aifreann Naomh Lorcán, seirbhís ar an mBord Bainistíochta is eile. Crothnóimid uainn é. Más mian leat scríobh chuige, is é An Mhainistir, Muilte Farannáin, Co. na hIarmhí a sheoladh.
We’re really sad to have to let you know that An tAthair Lomán Mac Aodha, our chaplain for many years has retired due to failing health. Loman looked after our religious needs, and others, and was a great friend of the school. There is a gaping chasm to fill. If you would like to write to him, Lomán’s address is An Mhainistir, Muilte Farranáin, Co. na hIarmhí.
Ceistneoirí do Mhúinteoirí
Bíonn tuismitheoirí ag iarradh mhúinteoirí, ceisnteoirí (m.sh. siceolaiochta) a líonadh uaireanta. As seo amach is ceart ceistneoirí a fhágaint in Oifig na Scoile seachas iad a thabhairt don mhúinteoir féin. Ligfidh sé seo dúinn tuairisc lárnach a choimeád orthu. Is ceart seachtain a fhagáil le ceistneoir a fháil ar ais. Caitheann múinteoirí go leor dua leo, agus ní féidir iad a dhéanamh faoi dheifir. Go raibh maith agaibh.
Parents sometimes ask teachers to fill in questionnaires, eg for psychological profiling. From now on, these questionnaires are to be handed in to Oifig na Scoile, rather than directly to the teacher. This will help us keep a track of them. Parents should leave a week for a questionnaire to be completed. Teachers like to complete them properly, and this cannot be done overnight.
Gaeilge sa Chlós
Ba bhreá linn tuismitheoirí/feighlithe ag labhairt an méid Gaeilge agus is féidir leo sa chlós. Déanann sé seo imprisean mór ar na páistí. Dar ndóigh, bac heart do na daltaí Gaeilge a labhairt lena chéile an t-am ar fad agus iad sa scoil.
We’d like to hear parents/minders speak as much Irish as they can in the clós. This makes a solid impression on the pupils. Of course, the pupils should speak Irish to each other at all times when in the school.
Clampaí don bhfráma Dreapadóireachta
Tá clampaí a bhí againn chun barraí a nascadh leis an bhfráma dreapadóireachte imithe ar iarraidh. Má tá aithne agat ar cheardlann a fhéadfadh clampaí a dhéanamh dúinn, ba bhreá linn fáil amach fúithi.
We have misplaced clamps which were used to attach bars and a ladder to our climbing frame. If you know of a workshop which could make clamps for use, we’d be glan to her about it.
Riachtanais Leighis
Déan cinnte, le do thoil, go bhfuilimid ar an eolas faoi aon riachtanais leighis atá ag do pháiste.
Please ensure that we are aware of any medical needs your child has. Thank you.

Tá na Naíonáin Shóisireacha tar éis socrú go seoigh. Beidh lá iomlán acu go dtí 1.15 in ó 12/9 ar aghaidh.

Litir ó Chumann Áitritheoirí Chearnóg Belgrave
Is talamh príomháideach í Cearnóg Belgrave. Ní páirc phoiblí í.
‘I should mention that I had several complaints about parents and children in the Square on the Thursday and Friday evenings this year at the end of term; the following from a resident gives a typical reaction:
‘Over the last 2 days we have had an unprecedented number of children from Scoil Lorcain playing in the square, largely unsupervised. There were at least 80+ children between the 2 events. I witnessed children wholesale trampling the flowerbeds, deliberately breaking branches off trees, (including the lovely old plum tree and adjacent magnolia), hanging out of other young vulnerable trees and using the wire fencing as a tightrope.’
Clearly the parents/children need to be reminded about good behaviour!
Best regards,
Belgrave Square Residents’ Association.
