From Farm to Fork!

Sixth Class recently benefited from their work in the School Garden last year. Having planted potatoes and vegetables last Spring, it was a case of all hands to the deck as a bountiful crop was harvested. Many thanks to Master Gallagher and Adrian who oversaw the work.
Anne, our School Secretary, then organised a big pot of stew for Sixth Class pupils and this was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
