Croke Park Trip

The Croke Park trip was a great success and the children had a really enjoyable day. The Museum and Stadium tour was very informative and it was a thrill to get into the dressing rooms and VIP areas of one of the biggest stadiums in Europe. The trip was part of the extended schools program and it was good to share the experience with our friends and neighbours from Clady and Carrickovaddy schools. We hope that the children will be inspired to go back when Armagh get there to see it on a match day. Although, Mr. Quinn predicts that might be a while so he suggests to go and see Tyrone there in the summer instead!

Children visit Santa at his Ice House.

On 21st December, Our P1 to P4 children braved the cold to visit Santa and Mrs Claus at their Ice House at Navan fort. A great day was had by all as the children played Christmas games and sampled some of Mrs Claus's home made cookies. The children watched a Christmas stage show and best of all, Santa gave each child a present to remember their visit.
