Tuesday Tips for Parents/Guardians and Grandparents

March 4, 2025

Good evening all! A big thanks to all the parents who came to the cooking demonstration on Thursday after the ptm (& teachers) and to Nada and Faoduma for cooking. We all got a nice meal of butter chicken rice and Somali flatbread to wipe up the sauce. Please find a link to the Butter Chicken recipe here and to the bread here. It was a lovely opportunity to talk food and step outside the comfort zone.

The Parents Yoga class  run by Eibhinn continues at 9.30am tomorrow morning, Wednesdays at 9.30am. It is free of charge and we still have more room for newbies.

The Parents walking group is slowly taking off and tomorrow morning we will be starting from Scoil Ciaran BNS Donnycarney at 9.15am. No cost and friendships to be made!
