The wet day hasn’t dampened the children’s spirits on yard today. It’s the first week back after the Easter Holidays and the children are straight back into their games timetable. 1st class very enthusiastically showed off their basketball skills. 2nd class played dodge ball (below the knees of course!), while 3rd & 4th class created their own playground games. It was business as usual
Congratulations to all the children from Baconstown who took part in this years St Patrick’s Day parade in Enfield. The entry, which was arranged by the Parents’ Association, won the prize for Best Entry. The theme they chose was “green”, so the children dressed in costumes made out of re-recyclable material. Great day was had by all!
