Welcome to the Primary 3 Page for Mrs O’ Neill’s class.
I’m sure you will agree the site is warm and inviting and in time you will see how effective it is in communicating information, news, advice and photographs.
You, your children, your families and friends across the world can enjoy a little window into the life of the school and see pictures and read news about the children.
Keep coming back to enjoy our updates!
