The children in 2nd class have been very busy preparing for their Sacrament of First Penance. This took place in St. Fursey’s Church Haggardstown. It was a beautiful celebration attended by the children and their immediate families. They answered their prayers so well, sang beautiful songs and read their stories and prayers to perfection. They were brilliant.
The children have also been very busy planning English stories with good beginnings, middles, problems, resolutions and endings. These are on display in their classroom and are very interesting reads!
