Well done to all the boys from 3rd/4th/5th and 6th classes who took part in spelling bees over the past few weeks. It has been a great activity for the boys and its great to see boys value the skill of spelling.
This was a new event to St.Brendans PS and no doubt will continue judging by the positive feedback!
Congratulations to school Champion speller Paul Stokes (5th) who represented the school at the Offaly spelling bee in Lumcloon NS
Library books appeal—Tesco
Thank you all so much for your support of this free offer with the Saturday Irish Independent. After the 8 weeks were over , the school has collected a fantastic 345 FREE BOOKS !!!
Going to amazon for price comparison gives a rough cost of €5 per book. This means that our boys can now have use of over € 1700 worth of books from our school library. Thanks to all the families who collected tokens, to the boys who brought in the books, to the teachers who supported the appeal and to Mrs.Teresa Kelly for coming up with the idea of the collection and diligently went to classes each Monday to collect the books and encourage the boys. Currently these novels are being read in 2nd/ 4th and 6th class with the boys getting a great chance to enjoy the classics !
Ms.kirwan continues to do great work with some boys each Thursday for their
cookery session. Prancer ate 2 Reindeer biscuits.The boys are creating great food and the reports and recipes are produced
for all to learn from. Looking forward to your next creations lads !
