Feis Maitiu 3rd and 4th wins a class merit. We had our first outing to Feis Maitiú this year, with 3rd & 4th class performing in the Choral Speaking 4th class category. The class represented the school with distinction and were delighted to bring away their certificate.
Food Dudes. For 16 consecutive school days, children in the school are getting the opportunity to try free portions of fruit and vegetables at school. Children receive a small reward for trying out the food and are encouraged to increase the amount of fruit and vegetables that they pack in their lunch boxes thereafter. We have run this programme here a number of times over the past few years and we can really see the beneficial impact it has on everyone here.
Tin Whistle. Everybody in the school is learning Tin Whistle in school at the moment. Quite timely for Easter as there are lots of versions of ‘Hot Cross Buns!’
