Needless to say our Skipping Around Europe Initiaitive was a huge success in our school this year. The children got stuck in, started skipping and got better and better as the weeks went on. It was great fun and the children had fresh air and movement daily. We are very well prepared and excited for our annual visit from Mark Mc Cabe from Skip n' Rope in June. I say he will be very impressed by all the great skipping that has gone on in Kilbride. Well done boys and girls. Keep it up!

The children enjoyed a visit today from Aisling Dempsey TD. Our sixth class pupils are Ambassadors for the Ombudsman for Children and as part of their work this year, Aisling was invited to our school to talk to the children about how everyone has a voice. and her experience to date in politics. The children enjoyed this talk and asked many excellent questions were asked.
