Congratulations to our winners in the Road Safety Poster Competition which is run by An Garda Síochána in conjunction with Roscommon County Council. The winners from Ballagh NS are

1st – Katie Smith, 2nd – Aoife Corcoran, Joint 3rd – Anna Cox & Sophie Cox. All four girls will attend a prize ceremony in Roscommon Arts Centre to collect their prizes. Well done to all. The winning pictures are shown below and I’m sure you will agree, all four posters are excellent.

Pupils from 1st to 6th class were given the opportunity recently to take part in a wonderful project designed to promote reading and writing in Irish among young children. Scríobh Leabher is an initiative which allows primary school children to write, design and bind their own book – as gaeilge. Each and every book designed was wonderful but there could only be one winner from each class. Congratulations to everybody who took part and special congratulations to our winners – Tommy, Donal, AJ, Laoise, Phoebe and Anna. Winning entries are shown below and will appear on the Foras na Gaeilge website in due course.

We were very busy during Engineers week completing our projects. The task for pupils was to construct a 3D playground design using recyclable materials and as you can see from the photos, there are some fantastic engineers in the making. Pupils in the Junior Room also made windmills and St. Patrick’s Day Decorations.
