Recommended Read

In 3rd & 4th Class we love reading and talking about our books.  This is what our last half hour on Friday looks like.  An avid reader in the comfiest chair in the room talking about a book they've recently read.  The review always ends with the phrase they all love to say .... "you've got to read the book to find out what happens next".  This is always met with a big groan from the audience.

Spring Garden Visit

Many many thanks to Bill Curtin, Finlay's Grandfather, for very kindly inviting 3rd and 4th class to visit his amazing garden.  There were beautiful hyacinths, mascari and daffodils on display and the children learned many many interesting facts about the trees, flowers and wildlife in the garden.  Unusually, both a red squirrel and a grey squirrel live in the same tree!  The class hope to return in summer to see how the garden has changed.

See the happy faces of the wonderful hurlers from 3rd class as they celebrated a hatrick of victories in an interschools blitz in Walsh Park.  Amazing teamwork, they are a true example to the rest of the school
