In preparation for proclamation day on March 15th, the whole school have been asked to gather folklore from family, friends or relatives who have grown up in Ballyroan or the wider Rathfarnham area.
Folklore can be described as the passing on of knowledge, practices and stories by oral means. By sharing our folklore, it means that stories and insights into the past are shared and passed on to future generations.
The boys have all been given a sheet which is in their folder and which needs to be filled out by Friday 11th. They must choose somebody to 'interview' and then record their story on the sheet. It can be something as simple as documenting the changes in Ballyroan Parish or discussing the delivery of glass bottled milk to houses in the area!
Best of luck with it!

Cathal Keogh in 4th Class is a FINALIST in this year's Doodle4Google competition! He has been shortlisted by the judges in Google, but now he needs YOUR help! The next stage of the competition is public voting!
Please follow the link below to cast your vote for Cathal, he is in group 3 and his doodle is titled 'Google Ogham'
Voting closes on Sunday February 14th and we would really appreciate if you could pass on the message to as many friends, family, colleagues etc. as you can!
We could win a €10,000 technology grant for the school, which as I'm sure you know is huge and would require an enormous amount of fundraising if we were to try and reach that target ourselves! It only takes two seconds to vote!
Thanks a million!
