Today Ailbhe’s senior infants went to St. Catherine’s Park for our first Forest School session. We had so much fun exploring the woodland. We climbed, made dens and created potions. We can’t wait to go back.

Well done to the 47 pupils in First Class who completed their first swimming lesson in the National Aquatic Centre today. Thanks also to our parents who volunteered to help out today.
