Europe Day Celebrations

We celebrated Europe Day on Tuesday 9th May with a very special visit from Luxembourg's Ambassador to Ireland, Florence Ensch.

Our Anthem EU50

In celebration of Europe Day 2023 and Ireland's 50 year membership of the EU, our whole school sang Beethoven's Ode to Joy. We were led by Óisín on the flute. Thank you to Ambassador Florence Ensch for joining us at this special assembly.

Dáil Visit

On Thursday 27th April, 5th and 6th class had a great time on their trip to Dublin. We were invited to visit Leinster House by Minister Thomas Byrne, where the children got to see the Dáil and the Seanad and also speak to our local senator Sharon Keogan.

European Food Fair

We had so many delicious foods on display in school on Wednesday 22nd March. A huge thank you to all pupils who brought in foods from different European countries. Each of the classes made food with their teachers too. Junior and Senior Infants made Belgian waffles. First and Second class made Patatas Bravas from Spain. Third and Fourth class had a feast of Caprese Salad, Hungarian Goulash and German Apple Strudel. Fifth and Sixth class made Italian tortellini.
