Unihoc
We had a very energetic and fun-filled afternoon of Unihoc on Friday! ENORMOUS thanks to Muriel and Ezra for organising this for us...thanks also to those parents who helped and those who were brave enough to compete against 6th Class.
Hallowe'en
Children may dress in costume or own clothes on Thursday 25th October. No scary costumes or masks please.

We thank Nan Leslie for organising this year's Quiz Sheets. We will be sending home a number of sheets for each family to sell. Completed sheets may be returned to school or directly to Nan. This year's Quiz will be held on Saturday 10th November.
Peace Proms
We are delighted to be included in the choir for this year's Peace Proms Concert in the S.S.E. arena in Belfast in February. 4th, 5th and 6th Class will be taking part and will be working exceptionally hard to learn all the songs in time.
Súgradh le Chéile
We were delighted that all of the children in the Junior Room had the opportunity to play with parents and relatives last Friday morning. We sincerely hope that the experience was enjoyed as much by the grown ups as it was by the children. It was particularly nice to see so many Dads...hopefully they enjoyed the visit to school and will visit again soon.
