DAFFODILS
As part of their SESE Programme, Fifth Class planted lots of daffodil bulbs last October. These bulbs were tended with loving care by the children over the winter months and the result was a huge array of lovely daffodils in full bloom. Fifth Class sold bunches of the daffodils to parents and friends of
St. Patricks' NS and were then able to make a donation to the Irish Cancer Society. They also donated their unsold daffodils to the Irish Cancer Society for use on National Daffodil Day.
