STRICT INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE PRINCIPAL TODAY
I have a funny feeling that if we were still in school today and they had predicted temperatures to hit 22-26, we would have organised something fun to do like a trip to the park. So only do a teeny tiny bit of English, Irish and Maths today- don't worry about getting in trouble, it's principal's orders! Get out and enjoy the day- that goes for the staff too!
Slán gach duine,
Ms Greene
