Staff and pupils of Scoil Naomh Fiachra, Illistrin were in a bright and colourful mood today as they celebrated the opening of their new outdoor classroom – Rainbow Park.
Kalize McGuigan, a 2nd class pupil in the school, had the honour of cutting the ribbon in front of her classmates.
On visiting the outdoor classroom a few weeks ago Kalize was really struck by all the bright colours and she came up with the new name for the outdoor classroom: “Rainbow Park”.
