Lots to write about after the Easter Holidays!

The girls in First Class got straight down to business today, after the Easter Holidays. They wrote (very neatly AND in great detail) about all the things they did during the holidays.

Mrs Philly's Cherry Blossom

The cherry bossom planted last spring in honour of our late great colleague and friend, Mrs. Phil O Brien (ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis) is in full bloom and looking lovely this spring.

Turning a house into a home - another excellent project!

Attention to Detail!
