IT was an eventful day in Scoil Eoin on Thursday as almost 90 children made their in the doors for the first time – among them four sets of twins!

The new school year is just beginning at the Balloonagh primary school and with that comes new surroundings and of course, new friends.

Siobhan Daly’s baby infants class hummed to sound of children and parents arriving through the doors before 9am.

“It went great. They were all settled in by five-past-nine and the parents were out the door. There were one or two crying but that’s to be expected,” said Ms Daly later that morning.

There was a sense of nervousness in the air from both parents and kids alike, but overall the feeling was of happiness and pride.

Over in Fiona Sheehan’s class, children were getting to know each other.

“It was great, the first few weeks are about settling them in, getting them used to their surroundings. There were no dramas today,” joked Ms Sheehan.

Her class hosts three sets of twins, Billy and Tara Cashman, Adam and Ryan  Molloy and Eremie and Elisei Novac while Ms Daly’s has the Cotter twins, Oisin and Fionn.

There are 28 pupils in Jo O’Connor’s class and all were busy when we visited.

“Everyone was very settled. There were very few tears and everyone was happy after five minutes…including teacher!,” said Ms O’Connor.

A good start then for all.
