        Plean Covid 19-  Covid  Plan – ‘Ag obair le chéile’  2021

 

Réamhrá/Introduction -

  • Tá áthas mór orainn go bhfuil na páistí ( suas go Rang 2) ag teacht ar ais ar scoil agus déanfaimíd ár ndícheall gach rud a choinneáil mar is ghnáth. Caithfimid bheith foighneach lena chéile agus an spiorad céanna a léiriú , a bhí le feiceail sa cheantar níos luath sa bhliain.

We are delighted that the children, up to 2nd class are returning to school next Monday March1st and we will all work to keep things going. We hope to see the children from senior classes very soon, hopefully before Easter.Everyone needs to be patient with each other and understand the pressures we are all under. We need to show the solidarity of spirit, so evident in Cabra during the lockdown among parents, children and teachers.

  • Taimíd cleachtaithe le clós roinnte & rl, tá seomra breá mór nua againn agus foireann mór agus fuinneamhach. Agus tá na tuismitheoirí agus páistí is fearr in Éirinn againn.

Beidh orainn an plean seo a athru ó ám go hám agus beidh an Bord Bainistíochta agus an foireann ag obair ar seo.

This is a working document and is not set in stone, due to evolving circumstances. The School Board of management and staff will keep this in mind at all times.

We have had staggered lunch times etc in the school for over twenty years, we have a new modern well ventilated building, with plenty space in the classrooms and a large and energetic staff, with plenty experience.  And we also have the best school community and children in Ireland.

  • Lean an suíomh nua scoile gaelscoilbharra.net , Class Dojo agus téacs ón scoil , beidh gach rud ansin.

Tá seo ceangailte leis an leathnach Facebook scoile.

Make sure to follow the  school website www.gaelscoilbharra.net , Class Dojo and school texts for all updates.

This is also linked to the school Facebook page .

  • Tá na polasaí agus na seicliostaí uilig eagraithe ag an scoil agus tá go leor fearais ceannaithe againn, le cuidiú ón Stát.

The school has all policies and relevant checklists in place, contact tracing etc and all documents are available either on the school website or on request.

They will work in class bubbles, and within the class, in pods of six or seven. There will be staggered start times, luchtimes etc and each class teacher will have a support teacher

  • Déanfaimíd ar seacht ndícheall sláinte an pobal scoile a laghdu ach táimíd ag brath ar chomhoibriú agus toil páistí, tuismitheoirí agus muinteoirí. It is not possible to eliminate the risk of infection. However, with the co-operation of all members of our school community, it is possible to minimise the risk of the virus being introduced to school and the consequent risk of its spread.

 

Bolgáin agus Meithil Oibre – Bubbles agus Pods

  • Beidh na ranganna ag feidhmniú mar bholgáin agus meithil oibre. All children return to school and classes operate within a bubble and pod system.

Eagróidh an muinteoir ranga na meithil agus athróidh sé/sí iad gach cupla seachtain.Beidh go leor spás idir gach meitheal.

There will be 4 or 5 pods in each class with 6 or 7  in each pod. The teacher will decide on the pod formation. This pod will be together until Easter , after such time the teacher may change it. There will be sufficient distance between each pod.

  • Beidh an scoil roinnte I tri chuid-The school is split into 3 groups with each group having different starting and finishing times and separate break times and lunch times.

Culaith Scoile/School Uniform

Taimíd ag iarraidh ar daoine an culaith scoile athrú chomh minis agus is féidir- m.sh Luan-Geansai, Briste, Mairt culaith spoirt & rl. Tuigimid go bhfuil deacrachtai le seo do roinnt daoine.

We are asking parents to change and wash the uniform as much as is practically possible, perhaps alternating between the uniform and tracksuit. We understand this may pose difficulties but again use common sense.

Páiste le duine atá tinn sa bhaile/ Families with members who may have health issues.

Lean comhairle do dhochtúir agus na húdaráis.

Follow the advice of your GP and the HSE authorities.

Ag roinnt fearais/Shared Equipment

By necessity, some classroom equipment needs to be shared including tablets, laptops and the equipment used for structured activities and play in Infant classrooms. Cleaning of such shared equipment with wipes or other cleaning products will take place at regular intervals to minimise the risk of the spread of infection.

Glanadh na Scoile/Cleaning ;

Méadófar na hámanna glanadh sa scoil gach lá. Beidh glantóir sa scoil I rith an lae ag glanadh na seomrai agus duine eile sa trathnóna.

School cleaning hours have been doubled from 4hrs a day to 8hrs a day. There will be a cleaner present in the school from 8.30am every day – door handles, stair rails etc will be cleaned throughout the day and classrooms etc in the afternoon.

Tacaíocht Foghlama/ Learning Support

Mar chuid den Thacaíocht Foghlama beidh meascán de Múinteoireracht Foirne agus múinteoireacht ghrúpa. Beidh na múinteoiri TF ag obair lastigh de na bholgain.

In keeping with our Special Education policy, learning support will be provided by a blended approach of in-class support and withdrawal, dependant on the most up to date guidelines.  The provision of support will be organised to ensure our support teachers will work within the confines of a bubble.

  • Coinneoidh an Múinteoir TF fad ón mhuinteoir ranga.

Where a support teacher is working alongside a class teacher in a classroom, both teachers must be mindful of maintaining social distance from one another.

  • Má tá páistí ag fail muinteoireacht breise lasmuigh den rang leis an Muinteoir TF , coinneofar fad 1 mheadr óna cheile.

Where children receive support in any room, social distancing of 1 metre will be maintained between each child in the group.

  • The tables and chairs in SET rooms will be wiped clean in between different groups attending.

Múinteoiri as láthair/Teacher Absence and Substitution

Má tá múinteoir as láthair, seasfaidh an múinteoir tacaíochta isteach ar feadh lá nó dhó agus déanfaimíd ár seacht ndícheall ionadaí a fháil. Leanfaidh na múinteoiri na treoracha céanna ó thaobh comharthai tinnis & rl.

In the event that teacher is unable to attend school, the support teacher will stand in for a day or two and every effort will be made to secure a substitute teacher for the class. If a substitute teacher is not available, it is not appropriate for the class to be divided into groups and accommodated in other classes. In such circumstances, it may not be possible for the class to attend on that day. If that is the case, as much notice as possible will be given to parents.

 

 

 

 

Corpoideachas & Sport/ PE

Beidh Corpoideachas ar siul amuigh faoin aer chomh fada agus is féidir agus bainfimid an meid úsáid as an páirc agus is féidir. Beidh na ranganna sa pháirc ina aonair.

Glanfar an hall tríd an lae- binsí & rl.

Beidh an Coach ón chlub ag obair linn aris I mbliana , ag leanúint na rialacha.

Where possible, PE will take place outdoors and use of equipment should be confined to the sets that have been distributed to class groupings. If the PE hall is being used by class groupings, common touch points should be cleaned at intervals throughout the school day.

We will use the pitch as much as practically possible.

We will again be working with the club coach Johnny McGlynn and we would once again like to thank Naomh Fionnbarra GAA for their ongoing support.

Cursaí Breise/ Extra-curricular Activities

Táimíd an bhróduil as na gníomhachtai ar fad a bhíonn ar siúl ansseo agus déanfaimid ár ndícheall gníomhachtai breise a chur ar siúl ach caithfidh gach rang bheith ina aonair tríd an lae.

We are very proud of all the activities we have built up over the years and the possibility of facilitating extra-curricular activities will be explored. However, it would not be recommended that children from different bubbles would participate in extra-curricular activities at the same time. Further updates will be provided in September.
