Happy Daffodil Day!
We had organised with our neighbours, the Irish Cancer Society, that we would mark Daffodil Day by wearing yellow at school today.
We would like to continue to support our neighbours so there will be buckets at the back gate if you wish to donate something.

It was all about Seachtain na Gaeilge last week with loads of lovely Irish activities going on in the school, where the classes showcased their Irish for the other classes. Here’s 6th class reading an Irish story to 1st class. An mhaith!
