Little artists, little potters, and future hurling & camogie stars — 1st Class did it all this week! 🌼🏺⭐
After reading their novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 3rd Class were inspired by Mr Willy Wonka so they designed and made their own Chocolate and Sweet Rooms. They looked so delicious we had to taste them! 🍫🍬🍭🎂🍩🍭

Democracy in action in 4th Class! 🇮🇪 Over the past few weeks, 4th Class have been involved in an election campaign to choose their Class President and Cabinet. From setting goals and preparing manifestos to designing posters and bookmarks, delivering speeches, taking part in debates, and presenting their ideas. Congratulations to Niamh, elected Class President, and Lucy, elected Vice President, along with their outstanding cabinet of ministers! 👏✨ We are looking forward to seeing the team make important decisions and lead exciting initiatives throughout June. #StudentVoice #Leadership #DemocracyInAction #PrimarySchoolLife #FutureLeaders
