Easter is always an enjoyable time in our school as we get to participate in an Easter Egg Treasure Hunt. We are fairly good treasure finders too and this year, with the exception of one egg, we found all the eggs in record time. Thanks to our teachers for organising this event.

Staff and pupils at the school are really grateful to one of our parents who invited one of his paramedic colleagues to visit us in his ambulance. We all got a tour of the ambulance and we also got a chance to perform life-saving skills on the very real-looking mannequin.

Bhí Lá na Pancóga ann inniu agus mar is gnách d’ullmhaigh ár múinteoirí pancóga dúinn. Bhí rogha maith againn maidir le rudaí a chur ar na pancóga, m.sh. síoróip sútha talún, síoróip mailpe, mil, subh, siúcra, sú liomóid agus “Nutella”.

The junior children’s excellent production centred around the theme of “waiting” for Christmas and the birth of Jesus while the senior children wowed the audience with its tale from Hamelin. We work extremely hard for our plays, learning our lines, singing songs, perfecting…
