THERE were no tears on Wednesday morning as the new arrivals made their way into their classrooms at Mercy Moyderwell Primary School on Wednesday morning.
The junior infants had been in last Thursday and Friday just to get used to the classroom environment, but Wednesday was their first proper day in school.
There are 49 new pupils across Ms O’Sullivan’s and Ms Geaney’s classes and it was all smiles amongst staff and the little ones when we paid a visit.
“It’s wonderful to be back. I think everyone is a little bit more relaxed than last September, but, at the same time, equally as vigilant regarding safety,” said Principal Moira Quinlan.
“We have all our systems in place and we won’t be letting our guard down. We look forward to having a healthy and a safe, full year in school,” she added. Scroll down for photos…
