Junior & Senior Infants made scones today. We all took turns at mixing and kneading the dough. Then everyone cut out a scone and we baked them in the oven. After lunch we got to eat our scones and they were delicious!

Christmas Shoe Boxes!
Christmas Shoe Boxes!

Every year the school supports the Team Hope Appeal, which brings a Christmas shoe box of gifts to children less fortunate than the pupils here at St. Naul’s. As always our parent community were very generous in their contributions and the boxes are still arriving! Our Junior Infants were happy to show some of the boxes that were donated. Thank you to everyone who supported this worthwhile cause.
