Saying goodbye to the 6th Class for the final time today!
|
We said goodbye to our wonderful 6th Class pupils who completed their primary education in Thomastown NS today. We wish them well as they move on to post-primary school and thank them for the wonderful contribution that they made to school life over the years in Thomastown NS. Go n-éirí an bóthar libh!  We were delighted to welcome the Tipperary Under 20 hurling captain and local hero, Ben Currivan, to the school on Wednesday. Ben brought the J.J. Kenneally Munster Under 20 Hurling Championship Cup with him as well, a cup which Tipperary won recently when they defeated Cork in the Munster Final. Ben gave some great words of advice to all the pupils about how they should prepare and train as players. Huge thanks to Ben for all the time he gave with the pupils. Hopefully, we will see Ben back in the school again in the not too distant future with more silverware for both Golden Kilfeacle GAA and Tipperary.  Enjoying an impromptu Ceilí and dancing to 'Galway Girl' - an appropriate song for the venue! Trying to beat the bog and save their shoes during the Turf Challenge in Killary Adventure Centre! For their last ever primary school tour, 6th Class travelled to Killary in scenic Connemara, Co. Galway. Firstly, they visited the Aerial Park and climbed into the tree canopy for some zip lining across four different courses, along with navigating their way around the 32 different elements throughout the courses. Next up, they returned to solid ground and tested their aim and accuracy with some Archery. As the group was in Connemara, they even managed to fit in a Ceilí into their schedule. Last but not least, they took on the Turf Challenge and they tried to beat the bog! The Turf Challenge was made famous on 'Ireland's Fittest Family'. Huge thanks to all the staff in Killary Adventure Centre who were so helpful throughout our time there. The 6th Class returned home tired, a bit muddy but with some wonderful memories from their last trip with the school!  |
