Room 3 Healthy Cafe
Our very enterprising children in Room 3 ran a healthy living café as part of their focus during Health Week. They had already visited Scotmid to stock up on a wide variety of produce then got to work making fruit kebabs for their visitors to the Café. The boys and girls of Room 1 and 2 said they were fab!! Great work boys and girls, you really are a credit to Miss Ross.

During P.E. slots children, under the guidance of a Tae Kwon Do instructor, participated in a wide variety of moves . As you can see from the slideshow below they all enjoyed the experience.

Many thanks to Father Kane and Sister Eileen for their time and patience on Friday as they took the Pr.1 children on a walk around the church and discussed all the features of the church, visited the sacristy, learned all about the different vestments and said a few prayers.
