 Bliain 3 - Measúnuithe Rangbhunaithe (MRB)

A chara,

Beatha agus sláinte chugat.

Mar is eol duit, tá do leanbh i mBliain 3 i mbliana. Nuair a bheidh na trí bliana don tSraith Shóisearach críochnaithe aige/aici bronnfar teastas darbh ainm Próifíl Ghnóthachtála na Sraithe Sóisearaí (PGSS) air/uirthi. Ar an bPróifíl beidh idir thorthaí scrúduithe stáit, cur síos ar réimsí eile foghlama agus tuairiscí ar na Measúnuithe Rangbhunaithe (MRB). 

Ní gnáthscrúdú atá i gceist leis na MRBanna. Is tionscnamh ar leith iad a dhéantar mar chuid do ghnáthobair ranga agus go ndéantar measúnú air. Déanann na scoláirí na MRBanna le hionchur agus treoir ó na múinteoirí. I gcásanna áirithe, d’fhéadfadh grúpa scoláirí a bheith ag obair le chéile mar fhoireann. 

Tá ceithre shórt tionscnamh i gceist:

Punann oibre - I rith na bliana ar fad coimeádfaidh an scoláire cnuasach dá c(h)uid saothair. Roghnóidh an scoláire cúpla píosa oibre le tabhairt don múinteoir le haghaidh measúnuithe agus cuirtear an obair seo i gcrích thar cúpla seachtain. (sampla - Béarla)

Cur i láthair - Thar tréimhse trí seachtaine ullmhóidh an scoláire píosa cainte. Sa tseachtain dheireanach déanfaidh an scoláire cur i láthair os comhair an ranga. (sampla - Fraincis)

Tuairisc / Aschur scríofa - Thar cúpla seachtain beidh an scoláire ag obair ar phíosa saothair agus ansin beidh orthu tuairisc nó píosa scríbhinn a chur le chéile. (sampla - Stair)

Déantúsán - Thar cúpla seachtain déanfaidh an scoláire rud nó déantúsán. (sampla - Eac. Bhaile)

 Iniata leis seo tá liosta do na MRBanna a bheidh ar siúl ag do leanbh. De ghnáth, déantar MRB thar thréimhse a mhaireann trí seachtaine ach i gcásanna áirithe beidh tréimhse níos faide ag teastáil. I gcás ábhair cosúil le Béarla, bíonn na scoláirí ag cur leis an bpunann le linn na bliana ar fad.

As you know, your child is in 3rd year this year. When they complete the three years of Junior Cycle they will be awarded with a certificate called the Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA). The Profile will record their results in the State Examinations, an account of other areas of learning and descriptors of their Classroom-Based Assessments (CBAs). 

The CBAs do not take the form of examinations. They are a project that is part of normal classwork, which is used for assessment. Students will complete the CBAs  with input and guidance from their teachers. In some cases, a group of students may be working together as a team. 

There are four types of project:

Portfolio of work - Over the course of the school year the student keeps a collection of their work. The student chooses a few pieces to submit to the teacher for assessment and finalises this collection over the course of a few weeks. (example - Béarla)  

Oral Presentation - Over the course of three weeks the student prepares a spoken presentation or performance. In the last week the student will make their presentation in front of their class (example - French)   

Report / Written output - For a few weeks the student works on a project. The output of this work is in the form of a report or piece of written work. (example - History)

Artefact - Over the course of a few weeks the student works on making an artefact. (example - Home Ec.)

Enclosed is a list of the CBAs that your child will be working on. The calender is divided into nine periods, each of which lasts for three weeks. Most CBAs will be completed in one such period, but in some cases a number of periods will be required. Typically, a CBA will be completed over a period of three weeks but in certain cases a longer period will be required. In the case of a subject such as English, the student will be contributing to the portfolio throughout the year.

Bliain 2 - Measúnuithe Rangbhunaithe (MRB)

A chara,

Beatha agus sláinte chugat.

Mar is eol duit, tá do leanbh i mBliain 2 i mbliana. Mar pháirt dá gcuid oideachais beidh do leanbh ag obair ar thionscnaimh ar a dtugtar Measúnuithe Rangbhunaithe (MRB). Nuair a bheidh na trí bliana don tSraith Shóisearach críochnaithe aige/aici bronnfar teastas darbh ainm Próifíl Ghnóthachtála na Sraithe Sóisearaí (PGSS) air/uirthi.  Ar an bPróifíl beidh idir thorthaí scrúduithe stáit, cur síos ar réimsí eile foghlama agus tuairiscí ar na MRBanna.

Cur i láthair - Thar tréimhse trí seachtaine ullmhóidh an scoláire píosa cainte. Sa tseachtain deireanach déanfaidh an scoláire cur i láthair os comhair an ranga. (sampla - Fraincis)

Tuairisc / Aschur scríofa - Thar cúpla seachtain beidh an scoláire ag obair ar phíosa saothair agus ansin beidh orthu tuairisc nó píosa i scríbhinn a chur le chéile. (sampla - Stair)

Déantúsán - Thar cúpla seachtain déanfaidh an scoláire rud nó déantúsán. (sampla - Eac. Bhaile)

Iniata leis seo tá liosta do na MRBanna a bheidh ar siúl ag do leanbh. De ghnáth, déanfar MRB thar thréimhse a mhairfidh trí seachtaine ach i gcásanna áirithe beidh tréimhse níos faide ag teastáil. I gcás ábhair cosúil le Béarla, bíonn na scoláirí ag cur leis an bpunann le linn Bliain 2 agus 3 ar fad.

As you know, your child is in 2nd year this year. As part of the Junior Cycle programme they will be working on projects called Classroom-Based Assessments (CBAs). When they complete the three years of Junior Cycle they will be awarded with a certificate called the Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA).

Enclosed is a list of the CBAs that your child will be working on. The calendar is divided into nine periods, each of which lasts for three weeks. Most CBAs will be completed in one such period, but in some cases a number of turns will be required. In the case of a subject such as English, the student will be contributing to the portfolio throughout Year 2 and Year 3.

A chara,

Tá Coimisiún na Scrúduithe Stáit freagrach as riar, measúnú agus deimhniú na scrúduithe stáit. San áireamh anseo bheadh scrúduithe na hArdteistiméireachta agus na Béaltrialacha. Ó 2022 tá na Béaltrialacha á reáchtáil i rith laethanta saoire na Cásca.  

Is mian le Coimisiún na Scrúduithe Stáit meastóireacht chuimsitheach a dhéanamh ar an athrú seo i gcomhar leis na páirtithe leasmhara ar fad d’fhonn an tionchar a bheadh ag reáchtáil na mBéaltrialacha i rith na Cásca sna blianta amach romhainn a mheas.  

Tá Scoil an Oideachais in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe ag reáchtáil an taighde seo ar son an Choimisiúin. An aidhm atá leis an taighde ná teacht ar thuairimí múinteoirí, tuismitheoirí/caomhnóirí, daltaí agus bainisteoirí scoile. 

Cuirfidh an taighde seo bonn eolais faoin gcomhairle a thabharfar don Aire Oideachas faoi dhátaí na mBéaltrialacha i 2024 agus ina dhiaidh sin. Glac páirt sa suirbhé seo le do thuairimí a roinnt.

The State Examinations Commission (SEC) is responsible for the administration, assessment and certification of the state certificate examinations, including the Leaving Certificate Gaeilge and Modern Foreign Languages Oral examinations. Since 2022, these examinations have taken place over the Easter holidays. The SEC are seeking to conduct a more extensive evaluation of the changed delivery timeline with all stakeholders to fully assess the impact of holding the oral examinations at Easter in future years.

The School of Education, at the University of Galway is conducting research on their behalf to enquire into views of the timing of these oral examinations. The research aims to capture the views of teachers, school managements, as well as candidates, parents/guardians. 

This research will help to inform advice to be provided to the Minister for Education on the timing of these examinations in 2024 and beyond. Take the survey by clicking the link below to share your views. 

https://nuigalway.questionpro.eu/SECTIMING

The survey will be open until midnight on Sunday 12th November 2023.

A chara,

Tá cáipéis a bhaineann le ham Teagaisc agus Foghlama i bPobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne faoi iamh mar cheangaltán.  Is cuid lárnach de shaol scoile ár ndaltaí iad gníomhachtaí comhchuraclaim agus seach-churaclaim agus is cuid lárnach dá bhforbairt pearsanta iad na gníomhachtaí seo chomh maith.  Cabhróidh an cháipéis seo linn go léir na gníomhachtaí agus na himeachtaí a bhainistiú go héifeachtach. 

Go bunúsach mar thuismitheoir tá sé tábhachtach na nithe seo a leanas a thuiscint:

Go leanann an obair ar aghaidh sa rang fiú má tá grúpa ón rang imithe. Tá sé tábhachtach ná síníonn daltaí amach toisc go mbíonn cuid den rang imithe ar imeacht. 

Go mbíonn obair bhaile le déanamh don lá dár gcionn ag na daltaí a bhíonn imithe ar imeacht.  Bíonn teacht ag na daltaí ar an obair seo ar Google Classroom.

Is féidir leat an cháipéis seo a léamh i do chuid ama féin.

Please find attached a document relating to Teaching and Learning time in Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne. Co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are a central part of our students’ school life and a key part of their personal development. This document will help us all manage these activities efficiently. 

Basically, as a parent it is important to understand the following:

To realise that the work continues in the classroom even if a group from the class are gone. Don’t sign out students because some of their class has gone on an outing. 

To understand that students that have been on an outing will have homework for the next day. This work can be accessed on Google Classroom. 

Feel free to peruse the document in your own time. 

Le buíochas,

Éamonn Mac Muiris
