Shared reading is currently being practiced throughout the school. This involves an older child being paired with a younger child for 20 minutes of reading each week. This will be done once a week for eight weeks. The children are enjoying and greatly benefiting from these sessions.

Congratulations to those who received their First Holy Communion last weekend. A big thank you to the Anna, Marian and the choir, and to all the teachers who helped the children prepare for this sacrament.  We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. 

Well done to all those who took part in the Community Games competitions which were held recently. There were lots of medal winners from Cloontuskert in different categories. Congratulations on your achievements.
