Thursday 16th March saw a sea of green in our school. We celebrated the end of Seachtain na Gaeilge and our patron saint, Saint Patrick. We held an assembly in the hall where each class had prepared a song, dance or poem ‘as Gaeilge’ and we had our ‘Seo Faisean’ Check out some of the pictures from our assembly.

Míle Buíochas to Ms Brady and 6th class who organised it all.

Tuesday, 21st of February we enjoyed tasty pancakes with an array of delicious toppings. Chocolate spread was the clear favourite though!

Thank you to Ms Murphy and Ms Brady for all their work in the kitchen to make sure everyone got a pancake.
