Santa arrivals in style and everyone sings along with the Garda band in the festive spirit.Along with these exciting occasions the Junior Infants will also take part in an 8 week dance term with a dance teacher and an 8 week term of Basketball with our basketball coach.

Spring time brings the Bunny Bop and the Easter break. Having practised all our moves in our dances classes we are all set to Bop into the Easter holidays.
The school year ends with great excitement when Bosco returns for a final show and the annual teddy bear’s picnic.
Each year we watch our Junior Infants timidly walking in the school doors in September and striding out in June with a new found confidence and maturity, ready to take on Senior Infants.
