Blackhill
Ms Callanan's, Ms. Nelson's and Ms Sheridan's classes visited Blackhill in June. We were given maps and a list of items to find. The list contained bog cotton, heather, gorse, rocks etc. At the top we stopped for lunch and took photographs. After lunch we went to look at the memorial stone and remembered the four men that had crashed there in 1942. Mr McCorristine told us all about it. Mr Billy Hamilton came into the school and told us about the crash and showed us a video and some pictures of the funeral.
Baltinglass Adventure Centre
On the 16th June 2010 we had our school tour. We left school at 8.30am to go to Baltinglass Outdoor Adventure Centre. When we got there we were split into three groups. We did kayaking, aerchery, absailing and wall climbing. We were provided with food. We had chips, beans and sausages. We also did orienteering in a nearby forest. We got a small bus to the forest. We left Baltinglass at 4.30pm and we got back to school at 5.00pm. It was the best tour ever.
