Dear parents,
I wish to bring the following to your attention.
I am delighted to inform you that Ballybrown National School has achieved First place in Munster and Third place in all of Ireland in the Khan Academy/Mathletes online Maths challenge, with a final score of 8,515 points for February. Congratulations to all the classes who took part.
Staying on the Maths theme, the final of 'Table Toppers', the tables challenge, will go ahead next Wednesday March 25th in the Halla. Last year, the standard of answering, under pressure, was excellent. I have no doubt it will be surpassed this year.
Best wishes to Ciarán Egan from Fifth class who has fought off stiff competition to represent the school in the Eason Spelling Bee in St Paul's NS in Dooradoyle next Thursday.
Second and Third classes will stage the play 'The Chair' on Thursday March 26th.
Tomorrow Friday March 20th, Fifth class launch their range of personalised wristbands as part of the Junior Entrepreneur programme. €2 each.
Once again, I appeal to parents to be vigilant dropping children off at school. Please use the carparks. Children should not walk through the Bus Parking area or the Staff carpark.
Please note that school will close at 12.30 p.m. on Friday March 27th. for Easter and will reopen on Monday April 13th.
Gach dea ghuí,
