Every day, each class is having an hour of activities in school. We will have our sponsored walk on Thursday. Swimming for second class will begin on Friday 13th. A fitness programme for senior classes is also beginning on Friday and will run until the end of the school year.
Children are being given activities as part of their homework.
Well done, Ms. McLoughlin, Ms. Keegan and especially Mrs Kelly for organising such a great week.

We have another busy week ahead – so check out these dates and times:

7:30pm: Third Class are performing their play ‘Pirates versus Mermaids’. If the rehearsals are anything to go by, it should be a great show. Well done Ms. Keegan for making sure that the show must go on.
Tuesday, March 24th
7:30pm: It’s the turn of second class to perform. Their play was devised and written Mr. Keane, so, if last year’s show is anything to go by, we’re in for a real treat.
Wednesday, March 25th
7:30pm: We finish up our Easter plays with first class performing ‘The Chocolate Shop’ – sounds perfect for Easter! We can’t wait! Thanks for all your hard work boys and girls and, of course, Mrs. O’Connor and Mrs. Durkin.
Friday, March 27th
7:00pm: Lough Allen hotel: A fashion show is taking place in support of An Tóstal. The children who performed in school Scór earlier this year will be providing the interval act – probably around 9pm. It will be great to see them perform again.
