The annuals have arrived and  go on sale December 1st. Children can purchase one after small break from Mrs. Mac Donaghs office.. They should bring in the exact amount €5. Sales will continue until stocks run out.

 

What Daddy or Mammy does not remember the Christmas Annual which first went on sale 48 years ago? Since then they have been getting bigger and better every year.

This year they will be on sale after small break from Thursday, December 1st until stocks run out. They are priced at €5 which is great value for 80+ pages of fun!

STEPS Young Engineers project in 3rd class @EngineerIreland

Ms. Molloy’s 3rd class are taking part in the STEPS Young Engineers Awards Project this year.

They had a visit from an engineer, Mr. Dave Keeshan, this week.  Mr. Keeshan is a past pupil of our school and was excited to return and see all the children’s work.
