Junior Infants, Senior Infants and 1st Class will begin a 6 week gymnastics course on Thursday ( January 23rd) . The cost is €12 and can be given to your child's teacher next Tuesday ( Jan. 21st). 

It is very important that your child wears shoes that he/ she can easily take off and put back on by themselves. 


For insurance reasons, only socks with grips may be worn while doing gymnastics. Your child may have these already. Children may also participate bare foot.

Keep revising our jolly phonics songs!


We visited our local church recently. 


We had lots of fun celebrating World Book Day on March 5th. We brought in some of our favourite books. We had a 'show and tell' session and then we drew pictures about these stories.
