Crumlin Christmas Jumper Day 21

On Friday 10th December we celebrated National Christmas Jumper Day for Crumlin Hospital.

All pupils and staff turned festive wearing a wide variety of Christmas Jumpers to raise funds for this very worthy cause.  

All classes had a surprise visit from Santa's No. 1 Elf

'Elf Sniffles'

She read stories, played music and

 played games with all the children.

 She was a very funny Elf 😁😁

   

Christmas music was played at the gate in the morning 

and during break times we had lots of fun dancing and

 singing to lots of Christmas songs

Food Dudes - Healthy Eating Programme

This week our school is taking part in Food Dudes which is a healthy eating programme, it is developed to encourage children to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. 

Every day each child will have the chance to taste different fresh fruit and vegetables.

 They each received a passport to healthy eating and daily short videos are shown to each class.

The aim of the programme is to develop healthy eating habits.

We hope you all enjoy your delicious fruit and veg!!
