    Fire Fighters in Training!

    Junior Infants received their basic training in Fire Safety last week! 

    One of our parents who is a fireman and paramedic, talked us through some important rules and tips when dealing with fire.
    The children fired the water hose, tried on helmets, fire jackets and even practised their Stop, Drop and Roll! 
    Well done to all the children in Room 3 who successfully received their certificate and joined Team Safety.

  • Author Visit

    Author Visit

    The children in Senior Infants were very lucky to have the author, Áine Murray join them for a reading of her book, A Pain in my Chest. This was to coincide with Children's Mental Health week, which we celebrated in early February. 
    A Pain in my Chest is a beautiful picture book, which explores the world of anxiety from the perspective of a child, taking readers on a journey towards healing, friendship and self-acceptance.

Thank you to all of the parents and community members who chose to support us when they were doing their Tesco shopping.

    Thankfully the weather did not ruin our Spring Day Fundraiser/Cake Sale/Monster Raffle. The children and staff really enjoyed the fantastic selection of cakes/cookies/treats/gifts to choose from. They were all smiling from ear to ear with their little bags of treats as they left the hall. All children received a separate chocolate treat from the Parents' Association.

    Congratulations to Ms Darby’s class, Room 8A who bought the most raffle tickets and all went home with an Easter Egg.
