The children went on a sponsored walk last Friday. The girls from 2nd to 6th walked to Fitzgerald's Park. The children got a chance to play in the playground and have a well deserved break before walking back. The children from Junior Infants to 1st class went on a walk of the Shandon area before having a break in St. Anne's park for some fun and games.
2nd class enjoyed a trip to Shandon Sweet shop today. They met Danny who makes the sweets. He told them how the sweets are made and the machines to cut and shape the machines. 2nd class then continued onto St. Anne's church Shandon. There they got to ring the bells before going up a lot of steps and looking over the balcony to see the city. The children all had a great time.

2nd class had great fun this week when they went to the Mardyke UCC for athletics. They enjoyed seeing the size of the track and running around it. The girls also tried running over hurdles before having a bit of fun with three legged races.
The girls from North Pres made their First Holy Communion in the North Cathedral on 19th May. They were joined from the boys from 2nd class from the North Mon.

Ms. Coleman and Ms. Conway have been very busy in the school garden recently. They have had lots of help from all of the classes. Some of the older girls helped painting tyres. We now have some very colourful minnions full of flowers welcoming us into our school everyday as well as some bright colourful flowerbeds in the garden. There is also a new insect hotel for any insects who feel like having a little holiday in North Pres. The younger class helped with all the planting that was done. All the children are looking forward to see what will grow over the next few months.
