Pupil Free Day

Yesterday was a Pupil Free day i.e. it was counted as one of our 200 days but we were all on a course and the kids had a day off. We joined another two schools and under the guidance of Fr Barry Ryan (ancestors from Tipperary) spent the day studying and reflecting on Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels. It involved some discussion and bible reading to help tie in with the teaching of Jesus in the R.E. programme. The day was organised by Martin Ryan (ancestors from Galway) who is the Religious Education Adviser for the CEO. I thought that it might have been a bit ‘heavy’ but it was enjoyable and relaxing and I came away refreshed.
It was great then to be home early so that I could bring Oisin on a further tour of the locality.
