Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,


Wishing all who celebrate Eid a very special day tomorrow. One of my highlights this week was hearing all about Ramadan and Eid from Tihami in David’s class. Thank you Tihami.

Cycle Training for 5th Class

5th Class really enjoyed the first session of cycling this week. They learned about the correct attire for cycling, how to put on a helmet correctly and how to do a check on their bike before riding. They are really looking forward to the next sessions in the weeks to come.
