Super Trooper Visit to SuperValu, Trim – Monday, 5th February 2018

Second Class paid a visit to SuperValu in Trim today as part of the Super Troopers Programme. They had a great visit. They got to try lots of fruit! We even got a behind the scenes tour of the bakery where all the yummy cakes, buns and bread are made. The children got to see the large fridges and ovens used in the making of the bread. They also got to see how the buns are decorated. We got to bring back some yummy treats which we enjoyed back at the school!
