CUMANN na mBUNSCOL
Ádh mór le foireann cailíní na scoile a bheidh ag imirt i gCraobh Cumann na mBunscol ar Mháirt seo (amárach) i bPáirc Markievicz. Tosóidh an cluiche ag 5.15 agus ba mhór acu bhur dtacaíocht.
Good luck to the the girls’ football team who will be playing in the Cumann na mBunscol Plate Final this Tuesday (tomorrow) in Markievicz Park at 5.15. Come along and support!

LÁ GNÍOMHACHTAÍ/SPÓIRT – ACTIVITIES/SPORTS DAY
Má bhíonn an aimsir oiriúnach ar an gCéadaoin seo,21ú, beidh lá gníomhachtaí/spóirt ag na páistí. Níl aon gá le spunóg, práta/ubh nó tead/carbhat a thabhairt isteach mar tá an fearais ar fad againn sa scoil i mbliana. B’fhéidir go mbeadh deoch breise ag teastáil ó do pháiste ar an lá, chomh maith le hata agus bac gréine. Beidh fáilte roimh cách ó 12.30 ar aghaidh ar an lá. Le deimhniú ar textaparent.
Weather permitting; there will be an activities/sports day this coming Wednesday 21st June. There is no need to bring a spoon, potato/egg or rope/tie this year as the school has everything. Children should wear school tracksuit. Bring plenty to drink, a hat and sun cream if necessary. All are welcome from 12.30pm if parents wish to see races etc. Will be confirmed by textaparent.

RANGANNA / CLASSES for 2017-2018
Bhí 251 páistí ar na rollaí Meán Fómhair seo caite ach bhí 255 uainn chun an 10ú múinteoir ranga a fhostú. Tá múinteoir sa bhreis de dhíth chun 2 rang beag Naíonáin nua a chruthú ach de bharr cúinsí éagsúla ní bheidh dóthain againn chun 2 mhúinteoir breise a fháil. Mar sin, is gá dúinn ceann de na ranganna a scoilt. Bíonn sé seo ar siúl i roinnt mhaith scoileanna. Beidh ranganna 1 agus 2 meascaithe chun trí rang a chruthú – RANG 1, RANG 1 & 2agus RANG 2. An príomh rud ná go leanfar an curaclam cuí ina iomlán i ngach rang. Freisin, gheobhaidh an dá rang éagsúl sa rang meascaithe breis taíochta in-ranga sa litríocht agus uimhreacht. Eagrófar imeachtaí i rith na bliana chun féiniúlacht ranga a dhaingniú. Beidh an scoilt déanta go de reír an pholasaí a rinneadh leasú air anuraidh (níl aois mar bhuncritéir a thuilleadh). Cé go ndéanfar gach iarracht cairde a choinneáil le chéile ní féidir aon gheallúint a thabhairt faoi seo. Tá i gceist an t-eolas maidir le déantús na ranganna a chur in iúl roimh dheireadh na seachtaine seo.
Last September there were 251 pupils on roll, short of the 255 pupils needed to employ a 10th classroom teacher. The number of new infants coming in (2 small classes) will require a new teacher but other factors mean that we will not have sufficient numbers to gain TWO extra teachers. As a result we will need to split one of the classes. This is not uncommon and is a reality in most schools. For next year Rang 1 (this year’s Senior Infants – 44) and Rang 2 (this year’s R1 – 39) will be mixed to create three classes – RANG 1, RANG 1&2 and RANG 2. Please note that the appropriate curriculum for each grouping will be taught in full in each class. Also, the two distinct groupings in the mixed class will receive increased literacy and numeracy in their own groupings. Activities will be organized throughtout the year to strenghten class identity. The division will be made in accordance with the school policy (age alone is no longer a factor) which was amended last year. While every effort will be made to keep friends together, this is not always possible. We hope to communicate the details of the make-up of each class to parents later this week.
