On Wednesday, each class group performed a song or poem for other classes. The week concluded on Thursday with a ‘Lá Glas’ (Green Day) and a concert by ‘The Celtic Gypsys’. Bhí seachtain iontach ag gach duine!!

We had a great day last Thursday celebrating World Book Day. Many teachers and students dressed up as a character from one of their favourite books. By far, the most popular outfits were Matilda and Miss Trunchbull! There was one winning outfit selected in each class, and all of the winners got a free book token for the book fair coming to the school from March 27th – 31st. Well done to everyone who took part!
