Dear parents,
It has been another busy week in Ballybrown NS.
Yesterday, John Clancy of Cycling Right presented certificates to Fifth Class who have completed a six-week cycling programme.
Last Friday, Tadhg O Shea from Twomey's Bakery paid a visit to the school. He had heard that Ms Keyes' class were bitterly disappointed when there was no fáinne in their Báirín Breac at Hallowe'en. Tadhg gave every child a báirín breac. The class sang the Báirín Breac song for Tadhg to say 'Go Raibh Maith agat' to him for his kind gesture.
Dean and Cian, students in LIT Sports Department, began a four week programme of Fundamental Movement Skills with Junior & Senior infants last Friday.
Killian Gavin, hurling coach, began skills coaching with Ms Griffin's and Mr Sheehy's classes last Friday afternoon.
Ms Burke's class were delighted when Fear an phoist Joe Kiely called to see them last Friday and talked about his work. We appreciate his generosity.
Mr Eddie Cunningham, an engineer who works with Dell, visited Sixth Class as part of Junior Entrepreneur programme.
