The weather gods shone down on 5th class yesterday in Brackloon Woods!

Parents As many of you will recall, we never finished the 2020 Silver Circle due to the school closure in March.

Teachers are happy for you to send in the wellies in a bag which can be left hanging on the child's coat hook in anticipation of the days which might be rainy.
