The last day of the school year is always a sad time as we say farewell, for the final time, to our 6th class children. This year, our 6th class children were just an amazing bunch – always so helpful, respectful, pleasant, friendly, responsible and kind. We will miss them a lot from our classroom…

Returning to school after the summer holidays is always an eagerly-awaited day. We love meeting our friends again and moving onto a new class. Of course, we also love meeting our new junior infant children and we really enjoy helping them to settle in.
