The children were excited to meet Galway Utd. professionals Frantz Pierrot, Emma Doherty and Francely Lomboto, who visited the school today. They talked about their careers and training, took questions from the children, and even joined in a keepy-uppy and penalty competition with the kids!
We are so grateful to these three excellent role models for taking the time to share their experiences as professional athletes with all of us here at Claddagh School.

On a midterm visit to Tallinn, Estonia, one of our teachers Imelda Ferguson visited a school there. She saw first hand how they are implementing a gradual and supportive model to the teaching and immersion of Estonian in school. This visit will be of great benefit when we introduce foreign language teaching in our school soon.
