Teachtaireacht ón bPríomhoide

Le coinnle na n-aingeal tá an spéir amuigh breactha, Tá fiacail an tseaca sa ghaoith ón gcnoc, Adaigh an tine is téir chun na leapan, Luífidh Mac Dé ins an tigh seo anocht Fágfaidh an doras ar leathadh ina coinne, An mhaighdean a thiocfaidh is a naí ar a hucht, Deonaigh do shuaimhneas a ligint, a Mhuire, Luíodh Mac Dé ins an tigh seo anocht Bhí soilse ar lasadh i dtigh sin na haíochta, Cóiriú gan caoile, bia agus deoch, Do cheannaithe olla, do cheannaithe síoda, Ach luífidh Mac Dé ins an tigh seo anocht Máire Mhac an tSaoi

Cumann na dTuismitheoirí

Ba mhaith liom tréaslú le Cumann na

dTuismitheoirí as an obair iontach atá

déanta acu an téarma seo. Is liosta le

háireamh na himeachtaí atá curtha i

gcrích acu.

I would like to congratulate Cumann na

dTuismitheoirí on their outstanding work

this term. They contributed hugely to

school life. I thank them on your behalf

most sincerely.

Clárú san Oifig.

Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí clárú san oifig nuair a

bhíonn na daltaí ag fagáil na scoile i rith an lae agus

nuair a bhíonn siad ag filleadh ar an scoil. Tá an

cleachtas seo ann ar son sábháilteacht na ndaltaí. We request that parents sign at the office when children leave the

premises during school hours and when they return. This practice is

implemented for the safety of the children.

Déanfaidh ranganna Naíonáin Bheaga agus Naíonáin Mhóra

cur i láthair sa halla ar an Déardaoin, 14ú Nollaig Naíonáin.

Bheaga ar 11.00 r.n. agus Naíonáin. Mhóra 11.30 r.n.

Tosnóidh an taispeántas láithreach ag 11.00r.n. Fáilte

roimh gach duine.

Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí gan aon pháiste eile dá gcuid a

thógaint ón seomra ranga.

Beidh deis faighte ag an scoil ar fad an ‘cleachtadh deiridh’

a fheiscint. Children from Junior and Senior Infants will perform in the school hall

on Thursday, 14th December, Junior Infants at 11a.m. and Senior

Infants at 11.30a.m.

The show will begin promptly at 11.00a.m. with Naíonáin Bheaga followed

by Naíonáin Mhóra at 11.30. Junior Infant parents are welcome in the hall

from 10.30 onwards. We request that parents of Junior Infants leave the

hall once their child’s class has performed as the hall has limited capacity

excluding those parents who have children in Senior Infant classes also.

All are welcome to attend. Parents are requested not to take siblings from

class as they will have had the opportunity to see the show earlier in the

week.

Imeachtaí tar éis am scoile .

Tá sé tugtha faoi deara againn go bhfuil roinnt daltaí

ag fanacht ar láthair na scoile fad a bhíonn

deartháir/deirfiúr ag gábháil do ghníomhaíocht tar

éis am scoile. Níl féitheoireacht á dhéanamh ar na

daltaí nach bhfuil ag freastal ar an gníomhaíochtaí

agus mar sin iarraimid orthu láthair na scoile a

fhágáil. It has come to our attention that pupils are remaining on the

premises after 2.30 while their siblings are involved in an after

school activity. Pupils who are not attending the after school

activity are not being supervised and therefore we request that

they leave the premises.

Tráth na gCéist Sciath na Scol

Comhghairdeas le Cathal, Eoin, Darragh agus

Joe a fuair an 3ú ait as 60 foireann i dTráth na

gceist a bhí eagraithe ag Sciath na Scol

Congratulations to Cathal, Eoin, Darragh agus Joe

who won 3rd place in a Sciath na Scol Quiz

Crann Nollag

Dheonaigh Bárdas na Cathrach Crann Nollag do

We are grateful to the Cork City Council for donating a Christmas

Tree to the school garden and to Cumann na dTuismitheoirí for

providing the external lights.
