There was great excitement today when some Grannies and Grandads came to visit our school. Fr James came to say Mass and afterwards everyone had a cup of tea or coffee and some treats. Click on the photos below to see the pupils performing songs and poems for the delighted audience.

The Student Council have been busy planning lots of fun activities for Halloween and the last day before mid term break. They also gave the teachers a lovely treat for World Teachers Day.

2nd and 3rd have been learning all about Halloween. They have studied the history of this special festival and also how other cultures celebrate it. They have produced great work and love presenting their efforts to an audience.
