Many thanks to Tinahely Courthouse for running an amazing workshop with the children. They designed a collaborative art project, recorded music and played with shadows! The process was great fun and we are delighted with how it all turned out! Just take a look at our creativity!

Tree Day in Glendalough

Tree Day in Glendalough

1st – 6th Class enjoyed a lovely day in Glendalough as part of National Tree Day! What a day we had for it. We enjoyed a treasure hunt, stick puzzles, ice-cream and some plain fun beside the lake. Thank you to everyone in Glendalough for the super activities they had planned for us.

If you haven’t been to Glendalough recently make sure you get there on a bright, sunny day. Just check out these lovely pictures!

We were sad to say goodbye to author Caroline Busher last week. Caroline has been visiting our school for a number of weeks to work on poetry and creative writing. We learned so much about History, creating characters, story boards and above all else using our imagination. Thank you Caroline and we look forward to working with you again!

Time to Clean Up

The whole school went on a walk with our litter pickers, our rubbish bags, our gloves and our determination to clean up Carnew. Our biggest mission was the playground!

Please stop throwing your litter where we like to go and play! Bring your rubbish home with you!
