Junior Infants and Sixth Class went to the Phoenix Park on Friday for the Walking part of Athletics in P.E. this month.  Junior Infants were also looking for The Ugly Duckling which had been their story sack of the week.  We were very lucky to find lots of ducks and even saw two beautiful swans.  Thank you to Sixth Class who took great care of their buddies in Junior Infants.
