Library Week Winners


Weather Art Competition











Ms O'Connor entered our school in an art competition at Sutton Park. We chose the theme weather and everyone from our class entered.

Library Visit











On the 26th of January our class visited Malahide library. When we were there we had a tour of library, a short history lesson, an opportunity to use the computers and a treasure hunt. A big thank you to Susan the librarian and the parents for helping out. We all got to choose two books and we will be making regular trips to the library. Back in class we finished off the morning enjoying hot chocolates with marshmallows, cookies and a lovely cake baked by Missy and her mum.
