Well done to all who ran in the Clonmel AC Cross country event in Clonmel on Wednesday October 15th. Zara ran a great race to finish a very close 4th place - earning herself an individual medal.

Check out our art work

As part of our SESE work, the children created a Houses and Homes project. Research was carried out and a multi-media approach to Art was embraced by all.
This lovely project is now on display in our corridor. 

Visit to our local Potter 

The children enjoyed a creative and hands-on trip to Dóirín’s Pottery Studio in Fethard on Thursday 2nd October. They were introduced to the basics of pottery and each child made a small turtle and a farm animal of their choice out of clay. One of the highlights was watching the potter’s wheel in action. It was a day full of learning, messy fingers and playing with Lucas the dog!

Sweets and Treats !

In late September, we took to producing some culinary delights and made very chocolaty Rice Crispie buns, which we shared with our neighbour Christie, in appreciation for all his hard work in our school garden. Christie colours us beautiful every year. We all got to enjoy the leftovers!  

A very special visit to
Killusty N.S.
