We were delighted to participate in the Easkey St. Patrick's Day Parade. The children dressed up in environmental themed costumes and played their tin-whistles. Thank you to all who took part and all the staff in our school who helped on the day.

We planted our potatoes, strawberries, carrots and lettuce seeds. We look forward to watching these grow over the next couple of months.
