The students of Scoil Mhuire in Timahoe are delighted to be back to school and were more than happy to take the time to smile for the LaoisToday camera.
Timahoe primary school welcomed 16 junior infant students this year.
And they were all full of smiles and the joys of life when we came out to visit them.
The kids had just arrived in from their break time and were in good form.
The junior infants have now settled in well to life in the school.
Timahoe NS made headlines earlier this year when they won a regional award at the Our World Irish Aid Programme.
As part of their project, the 6th class students in the Laois school, under the guidance of teachers Michael McEvoy and Martina Mulhall, produced a 12 page newspaper called the Timahoe Times.
And these new crop of students will hope to go on to enjoy success like that in their education careers.
