It’s school tours week this week in The Children’s House!! After learning all about road safety last week, we will be revising our safety rules on Monday and then the morning classes will visit Lullymore Heritage and Discovery Farm on Tuesday, while the afternoon classes will have their trip on Friday. Please ensure that your child brings a packed lunch, is wearing weather appropriate clothes…and it looks like you will have to apply sun cream before they go!

During their trip to Lullymore Heritage and Discovery Farm, the children will go on a train trip through the Bog of Allen, visit the pet farm to look at real live animals such as alpacas, pygmy goats, Kerry bog ponies, sheep, rabbits, chickens, pot-bellied pigs and Falabella miniature horses, have a guided tour through the wooded area and fairy village, and play in the outdoor/indoor play area as weather dictates, as well as picnicking there, and of course the main event – going on the bus!! We’ve been going to Lullymore for several years on our school trip and find it a wonderful place to visit, with so many areas of interest to the children, and really lovely staff.
