Oiche Shamhna ag teacht agus na daltai ag súil le sos. Tá alan oibre déanta acu ó mhí Lúnasa agus an sos tuillte go maith ag gach éinne. We have had a very busy couple of weeks since we started back on the 28th. of August. Our new Junior Infants are well settled in at this stage and seem to be loving the early days of primary school life. Our sporting he-roes have had a successful term. Both boys and girls have been winners on the GAA fields. Girls success-ful in the Loreto/Colman’s Blitz, Sciath na Scol and INTO mini 7’s. Our boys won the North Cork A2 competition in Mallow recently. Well done to na buachaillí agus cailíní agus of course team mentors Siobhán agus Tomás.

Halloween can be a dangerous period and we urge parents

to be vigilant. Be careful around bonfires. Make sure that

children are supervised at all times and warn them of the

potential dangers at Halloween. The National Road Safety

Authority have also asked us to point out to parents to

drive with care on our roads and ensure that children are

always wearing safety belts while travelling in the car no

matter how short the journey is.

We still have no definite news about our site for our new

school. I would like to thank the ongoing work of our

Bórd Bainistíochta and Action group. I urge you to take

part. in the ongoing campaign. There is still some way to

go and the campaign goes on. Do not believe what is

printed in papers it is not always 100% correct. We need

the horses out and the pupils in asap!!!

Chuaigh Naíonáin Mhóra ar siúlóid dúlra. Bhí na páistí gnóthach ag bailiú duilleoga. Thug na

páistí na duilleoga ar ais ar scoil agus bhíomar ag féachaint ar na dathanna difriúla a bhí orthu.

Bhain na páistí taitneamh as an siúlóíd. Senior Infants enjoying their recent Nature Walk.

Bhí ám iontach again ó a thánamar ar ais ar scoil!! We have learnt a lot of fun things since we

came back to school this year. We have started tin whistle with our new teacher which is so much

fun. We also learned a song about Christopher Columbus and leant all about him and his voyage

to America! Coming up to Halloween we learnt about the different bones in our bodies, this

made us understand the skeleton better! Learning about the continent of Australia was so interest-

ing. I especially loved looking at the pictures of the cute koalas and kangaroos. We are so busy

already preparing for our First Confession and our First Holy Communion. We are so excited for

them!

Iontaisí an Domhain/Wonders of theWorld.

I mí Meán Fomhair, rinneamar tionscnamh ar na “Wonders of the World”! Rinne

gach duine ceann difriúil. Samplaí ná an Great Pyramid of Giza, Statue of Liberty,

Empire State Building, Chichen Itza, Collosseum, Pompeii agus Niagara Falls. Tá

alán pictiúrí agus firicí againn! Táimíd thar a bheith sásta leo agus tá an múinteoir

sona sásta leo freisin! Déanta ag Lisa agus Olivia H Ní B, Rang 4

Ag teastáil: bosca uibheacha, pipe cleaners, súil (googly eyes!) péint dubh agus

corcora

Gearr amach cearnóg den bhosca uibheacha. Cuir péint dubh air nó corcora.

Nuair atá said tirim, cuir dhá pholl sad á thaobh.

Cuir na pipe cleaners isteach sna poill seo; isteach taobh amháin agus amach an

taobh eile

Cur na súile air

Croch suas iad timpeall an tseomra ranga!

D’úsáideamar dubh agus corcora ach is féidir leat aon dath a úsáid! Déanta ag Colm agus Jamie, Rang 4

Fear Dóiteáin ar scoil Tháinig Fear Dóiteán d’arb ainm Mike ar chuairt chuig rang a trí ar

an deichiú lá de mhí Deireadh Fómhair. Maidin Dé hAoine a bhí

ann. Bhí sé ag caint linn faoi conas a bheith sábháilte maidir le tine.

Caithfimid bheith cúramach leis na rudaí seo a leanas timpeall an tí-

coinnle, toitíní, an oighean agus plocóid. Thug sé comhairle fíor-

thábhachtach dúinn. Ba cheart dúinn gach rud a mhúchadh gach

oíche (ach amháin an cuisneoir agus an reoiteoir!)

Bhí an fear dóiteáin an-shuimiúil agus d’fhreagair sé gach ceist a bhí

againn. Fuaireamar suirbhé tábhachtach uaidh ag baint le

sábháilteacht sa bhaile. Thógamar abhaile iad chun iad a líonadh

amach lenár dtuismitheoirí. Bhaineamar sult as ár gcuairteoir.

Mike the Fireman visited third class on the tenth of October. He was

talking to us about fire safety. We must always be cautious of can-

dles, cigarettes, the oven and plugs. He advised us to always plug

everything out at night time (except the fridge and the freezer!) He

was extremely interesting and he answered all of our questions. We

were given an important survey which we took home to complete

with our parents. We really enjoyed our visitor in our class!
