Welcome to Cristina Planas, Cristina is from Barcelona and is teaching basic Spanish and introducing aspects of Spain (history, culture, food etc.) to some of the children. 

Last Friday, the 19th of November, children from the Autism classes and the Speech & Language classes were helped to plant bulbs and flowering plants by children from the older classes. We’re looking forward to watching these grow and flower in Spring….

The total amount raised at the Halloween Disco for Ciara Murray was 1705 euro. Her parents have passed on a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed in any way. Well done everyone!

Welcome back to pupils, teachers and parents after our mid-term break! Hopefully everybody enjoyed Hallowe’en! We had great fun dressing up and dancing at the disco the Friday before we broke up.

Here are some photos showing all the ‘Spooky’ art that’s on display for Halloween.
