The Sun is Shining!

What a beautiful day we had today. The sun was shining!  A perfect day to go visit the Lough near our school. First we took a trip into the church where we looked at the stained glass windows and the altar. Then we said a prayer to Holy Mary as May is the month of Mary.

Next we set off to the Lough where we played in the playground and saw the swans and the ducks. We even saw some really cute ducklings.

We were exhausted at the end of our walk so we all lay down for a rest in the shade before heading back to school.

Long may the sun shine! 🙂

Basketball Success!

Our school basketball team received a great boost recently with success at a Cork schools blitz. Fr. Mathew players, Mai O’Leary and Dearbhla Breen visited the team to present them with certificates for their achievement. The team were further honored with a lovely write up in the Evening Echo.
