We had a number of different events in the school to celebrate World Book Day. Many of the children dressed up as their favourite character and Book Buddies shared their favourite books together.
Fifth Class published their amazing Mr. Men/ Little Miss books which they both wrote and illustrated! You can see the highlights in the photos below.

Grandparents Day 25 Hall A_edited.jpg
As part of Catholic Schools Week we celebrated Grandparents' Day on January 22nd. It is our third year running this event and it is getting bigger by the year. We were delighted with the response from grandparents to our invitation. We had an informal reception for them in the hall before they visited the classrooms. Once again, this event was a huge success and further strengthens our ties with our community.

We also had an art competition, with the theme ‘Our Favourite Things’, with a prize in each class. 
The week finished with a whole school Zumba during yard time. It was led in turn by each class group and was enjoyed by all, as you can see from the photos.

Daily Mile Challenge -October 2024

Our 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th classes signed up for the Daily Mile Challenge this year. They committed to regular training runs, which culminated in a fun event in Kilbogget Park run by DLRCC. There were several different warm ups and games before the girls took to the athletics track together to complete their Fun Run. Everyone put great effort into the run. It was a fantastic event and they all had a fun time as you will see from the photos.
