The staff of St Clare's were delighted to see all the children back in school since March. Once again the school is full of laughter and fun, just as it should be.

Since the children came back to school at the start of March St. Clare's has been as busy as always. Children have worked really hard on all curriculum areas but there has also been lots of fun too. Children have enjoyed taking part in activities for World Book Day and Seachtain na nGaeilge.

All the children are really looking forward to their Easter holidays and Ms. Leonard and all the staff would like to wish all the children and their families a very Happy Easter.

Stay Safe everyone!
