Cumann na mBunscol

Well done to our Cumann na mBunscol boys who got as far as the semi-final in  their group. After beating Corlurgan, Ballyhaise and Arva in earlier games,  they faced Drumkilly in the semi-final last Wednesday. Drumkilly was a very strong team, but our boys fought hard and managed to take several very good scores off them. In the end though, Drumkilly won out the day and we wish them the best of luck in the final in Breifne Park today (Sat).

Art work

These are some chalk drawings we did at school today. They were designed using our geometry sets only!

Story teller

We were lucky in Killygarry school today as we had a visit from a story teller. His name was Len and he was from the Glens of Antrim. He entertained us with a selection of stories, songs and poems from times-past in Ireland.

Class trip to Slieve Glah in September


As one of our first Geography lessons back in September, we took a hike up the local mountain- Slieve Glah. Believe it or not it's the second highest point in Co Cavan (320m)- and it's on our doorstep! Because of the excellent ordnance survey maps on-line (and our interactive whiteboards) we were able to figure out in advance what we were expecting to see in each direction. Local resident Brendan Keaney came with us also and gave us the local knowledge on the mountain. It was a very enjoyable trip and we got a great feel for the local area. Perhaps some of the children will post comments about the trip and what they were able to see from the top of Slieve Glah.

Trip to Killygarry Old School


On Friday, we went on a visit to the old Killygarry school, located on the main Dublin Rd beside the graveyard. The school was in use from 1894-1998 (104 years).
 It was very interesting for us to see the old school rooms, solid fuel stoves, blackboards and outside toilets. We even got to sit in the old wooden desks with the inkwells. Ms Kennedy came with us and told us all about  day-to-day life in the old school. There were a lot of questions asked about the sally rod!
We are currently working on a Time-Line which will show a summary of the history of Killygarry NS. Perhaps some of the parents who attended Killygarry school will post comments on what school life was like in the Old School.
