Cúpla Focal ó Choiste na dTuismitheoirí:
Maidin Chaifé:
Maidin Chaifé: The Coiste is running a maidin chaifé next Wednesday morning from 8.50 – 9.30 for seachtain na Gaeilge. Whether you have a lán Gaeilge or very little you are invited to come along and enjoy the comhrá agus comhluadar.

Suirbhé:
The Coiste has put together a very comprehensive survey which will be sent out to every family next week. It aims to evaluate your views and opinions on the direction you would like to see the Coiste operating on your behalf over the coming number of years and how you may like to be involved in this development. A very commendable amount of work and commitment has gone into its preparation by the Coiste and in order to support this project the Coiste would appreciate if you could fill it in promptly and return it through the class to the relevant Coiste member. This survey will be launched, with a chance for discussion about it, at the Maidín Chaifé.

Paráid:
Plans are coming together well don Pharáid Lá ’le Pádraig. Those participating from rang 1-6 will assemble at 2.15 at the Barrack’s, Summerhill and will finish at the Railway Station where you can meet them for collection. Go n-éirí go geal leis an lá!

Cláracha Bána Idirghníomhacha
As we are hoping to have an Interactive Whiteboard in every class before the end of this school year, we ask you to send in any contributions that are due, or to return tax forms relevant, at your earliest convenience so that we can complete this really worthwhile project.

Spóirt:
i) Iománaíocht
Leanann iománaíocht ar aghaidh gach Luan do Naíonáin Mhóra, Rang 1,2, & 3 le Robbie. As it is now held outside, pupils must bring their own hurley and helmet to take part.
Rang 2 & 3 should also bring boots and an extra track suit bottoms.
ii) Snámh
Beidh an Snámh ag tosnú ar ais arís Dé hAoine an 23/04/10 do gach páiste sa scoil. Swimming will be starting back on Friday the 23th of April for all children in the school. As it is an important part of the Sports Curriculm, it is obligatory that children attend unless they have a Doctor’s Cert. Is cuid an-tabhachtach é oiliúnt uisce ar an gCuraclam Coipoideachais agus tá an t-ádh linn go bhfuil linn snámha breá le múinteoirí an-mhaith againn ar an mbaile. Mar a bhíodh cheanna beidh na páistí ag taistil ar bhus go dtí an linn snámha agus beidh trí ghrúpa ag dul ann.
There will be 3 sessions each day
Seisiún 1 9:45 – 10:25 Rang 6,3agus Naí Mhóra
(parents need to be at the pool at 9:30)
Seisiún 2 10:25 – 11:05 Rang 1, 4 agus ½ Naí. Bheaga
(parents need to be at the pool at 10:10)
Seisiún 3 11:05 – 11:45 Rang 5, 2 agus ½ Naí. Bheaga
(parents need to be at the pool at 10:50)
It is essential that parents of children in Infants (or those looking after them) are at the pool 15 mins. before the swim session to assist in changing. As all the children i Naí Shóis + most i Naí Shínsear need help in dressing etc.... it is most important that if you cannot be there to undress and dress your own child, then you let us know who you have asked to take your place i.e. another adult eg. childminder, or other parent.

Comghairdeachas:
Do rang a 2 a rinne a chéad Fhaoistin an tseachtain seo caite! Bhí na páistí go hiontach! Mo mholadh agus buíochas do Mhúinteoirí Norma agus Eibhlín agus do Chúntoir Peigí a chabhraigh leis na páistí a ullmhú.

Seachtain na Gaeilge agus Spraoicheist na Scoile:
Go bliantiúl anois, Múinteoir Máirín, with the help of the other staff prepares a super quiz for Rang 3-6 to celebrate seachtain na Gaeilge. Is breá leis na páistí é agus i mbliana beidh sé ar siúl Dé Máirt, an 16ú Márta. Táimid ag súil go mór leis!

ISPCC:
Ná deánaigí dearmad ar bhur sean-ghutháin agus éadaí a sheoladh isteach chugainn le bhur dtoil.

Swap Shop na n-éadaí
Go raibh maith agaibh a chuir éadaí scoile isteach don Swap Shop agus maith sibh, a thuistí, ar Choiste na dTuismitheoirí a d’eagraigh an lá. D’éirigh go breá leis.

Cniotáil le Margaret:
Tá Margaret Spelman chun tosnú ag teacht chuig an scoil to set up a knitting club here at the school. She will start next Wednesday, 10th for children from Rang 1-6. As she can only take a max of 10 in the group, places will be allocated on a first-come basis. Although there is no cost, children should bring children’s knitting needles and some wool. Starter packs can be bought from Sinéad Hogan’s new wool shop sa bhaile mór! If you would like your child to join the group please send in a nóta to your Múinteoir Ranga.
