Roscommon Arts Centre

We had a fantastic day out on November 18th at Roscommon Arts Centre where we enjoyed a wonderful showing of The Adventures of Shay Mouse. After the show we visited Roscommon Fire Station. The children loved learning about the fire engines, what to do in an emergency, exploring the firefighters suits and even got the chance to use the fire hose! Before returning to school we finished off the day with a tasty Supermacs!
