‘Friendship’ was the theme of our Anti-bullying Week

Our new Junior Infants are settling in well to ‘big school’. There have been lots of singing, building, exploring and just having fun. Our Senior Infants are doing a great job of showing their classmates the ropes and leading by example.

Ms Blaney’s 2nd & 3rd Class time travelled back in history to the Stone age. These hunter-gatherers fought for survival and our pupils really got into the fighting spirit of these nomadic people.

What a lovely day for our Third Class who finally got to celebrate their First Holy Communion. Thanks Ms Keogh and Ms Blaney and Fr Prendiville for making it such a special day.
