Our Junior room pupils went on a lovely trip to Glendalough on Thursday 30th March for a trip in conjunction with the Wicklow Mountains National Park Education Service. The trip was based around getting up and close to nature while having fun.

There were lots of fun activities planned and the children were kept very busy. They went on a long walk to the cottage where they met their group teachers for the day and learned lots of interesting facts about Glendalough.

They then split into 2 different groups and went and looked at some of the different habitats of animals and insects. We had a very exciting find - a worm who originates from New Zeland and is not a species found in Ireland. Olivia took the worm back with her to research it further.

Overall the weather held out really well again for us, meaning we got to enjoy the great outdoors in all its glory!

Everyone had a great day and we learned lots of interesting facts and information. The children were as always very well behaved and really enjoyed the trip.

Thank you to Fiach for coming along on the day to help out
