As part of our healthy eating program we decided to try our children with some more exotic fruits to help develop their taste buds and help out Mum and Dad with some new ideas.... 
The children loved some of the more exotic fruits like pomegranate, mango and pineapple put weren't too sure of plums. They all made a wonderful attempt at trying everything and received a certificate for participation. Hopefully this will encourage them to try new foods at home too. 

The children and staff of Longfield Academy turned out in style today to celebrate Tipperary in the All Ireland Hurling Final on Sunday. We had a great day of fun and games and Ciara even baked us a cake... Yum !

Our new preschool children all arrived into Longfield Academy, full of smiles and great excitement. Some of the parents needed more reassuring than the children as there little butterflies took to the wind and a new chapter in their life. We look forward to spending time getting to know each and every one and watching them grow into confident young children. 

Our Manager Fiona nominated all the staff of Longfield Academy to take part in the ice bucket challenge for MND Ireland. So on a cold Wednesday in August we decided to take on the challenge...
The first take didn't go so well, someone forgot to press record on the video so like true professionals we did it a second time...

With our Summer finally here what better way to cool down than a surprise visit from the ice cream man. To hear the age old jingle playing just made their little faces light up. It was truly magical.
