JUNIOR ENTREPRENEUR: We had a wonderful “showcase event” last Thursday hosted by 5th Class. Children prepared food from their book “A Taste of Ballyllinan” and sampled a variety of goodies such as “Sheila Walsh’s Brown Bread”, “Hovenden’s Heavenley Pavlova”, “Tom’s Eton Mess”, “Craven’s Cupcakes” and many more.
Special guests were Ms. Cotter and Marian Heaney who acted as “dragons” as part of the process. At the end of the tasting the Junior Entrepreneur flag was raised (photos on website)
