On Friday 13th June 2025, unlucky for some, but lucky for us! We had a lovely sunny day and we had a great day out on our junior school tour. The boys and girls from junior infants to second class went to Kilkenny Castle Park playground and then to the National Reptile Zoo. We had lots of fun in the playground and learned all about the turtles, frogs, crocs and snakes in the reptile zoo. We all made our way home tired, but very happy. Here are a few photos from the day.
