Pupils from 6th class recently travelled to
Kinsgtown N.S in Clifden. This presented us with an opportunity to reflect upon
and compare the way of life in a West Connemara school to that of our school which
is situated eight miles east of
Galway, in the parish of Lackagh. Both schools are renowned for their rich
traditions in farming, sport, music, neighbourly co-operation and support. Our
visit involved a music session and sing song, a questions and answers session,
an opportunity to participate in playground games and a wonderful opportunity
to investigate the incredible flora and fauna of west Connemara. All pupils
were given a wonderful opportunity to mix and get to know one another.
Wonderful fun was had by all. It was a very memorable occasion. Thanks to Mr.
Kennelly and the staff of Kingstown N.S for organising and facilitating this unforgettable
visit and for their wonderful hospitality. Sincere thanks also to Alfie our
marvellous bus driver for being so kind to one and all and for participating in
this event.
