Food Dudes!

In November we undertook the Food Dudes Programme both in our class and as a school! We have been learning all about healthy fruit and vegetables to ensure we make the wisest choices to keep our bodies healthy. Each day we have been receiving a special reward and teacher is very proud of our great effort as we continue to feed the Life Force!

On Friday, the 23rd of October we had our annual Halloween Sponsored Walk around Balbriggan. The boys and girls Halloween costumes were outstanding! Special thanks to all the parents for assisting with the costumes and especially with the many wonderful homemade ones. We even had a scary visit from Brendan in the afternoon!
