   Wishing all our pupils, parents and staff a safe and happy

15th - 30th June

Well done to all the boys and girls who have worked so hard since March 12th and to their parents who have supported them throughout that time. We've loved seeing their work and photos! We hope you enjoyed our Clonburris Health and Wellbeing Week as much as all our staff did!!
For the last couple of weeks we're giving some fun activities that our pupils could do. A mix of literacy, numeracy, STEM, art etc and of course FUN! Many thanks to our teaching colleagues in Clonburris, Ireland and elsewhere who have shared resources with us up to now.
