Our Friday spirits were sky-high with a special visit from the Army Band! 🎶 The children learned all about the different instrument families, enjoyed some of our favourite songs (including a K-Pop Demons moment!) and had the best time singing and clapping along. 🥁✨Ms Lane even jumped right into the middle of the children to get everyone going — full YMCA energy! 😄 Such a fun, musical morning for everyone!
A massive thank you to the Army Band for visiting us today!
Crafting Club with Ms. Kelliher today at Big Lunch was full of creativity and fun! From crochet blankets to little knitted animals, the students were making amazing things and showing off their crafty skills! 🧶✨

🎉 Frása na Seachtaine 🎉
This week’s Irish phrase is:
“Go raibh maith agat!” 🙌🇮🇪
📚✨ It means “Thank you!” — perfect for showing good manners anywhere.
Try using it in class or at home:
👉 Go raibh maith agat as an lón!
(Thank you for the lunch!)
👉 Go raibh maith agat, a mhúinteoir.
(Thank you, teacher.)
