We had a very good week in Hollymount National School. Our Cork Rural Schools two teacher competition was coming up. We were all looking forward to it. The day came and we all came out in style. It was a very wet, windy day. At the end, we were champions . Also, we had a small party. We had to concentrate on training and everything else for the Kerry competition. The day came and we were all up for it. Our first match was against Tureencahill...

Ms. O Mahony & the Senior room created a lovely story detailing the final, using our laptops and interactive whiteboard. Click on the link below to watch! http://youtu.be/V99JVBTw8JE  

Spring has come to Hollymount NS and we are doing lots of planting. Mrs. Golden gave each child a tree to plant at home. The Junior Room are participating in Innocent drinks Sow and Grow. We have planted cress, basil and peas. We are watching our plants grow every day. We are writing up our progess in an online blog. Check out how they are doing on www.innocentdrinkssowandgrow.ie

James Fleming has started basketball training with us.

Community Garda Dave Woods visited Hollymount NS. He talked to us about road safety-to always wear our seat belts when travelling in cars. He also told us to wear a helmet if we are cycling. We had lots of fun with his handcuffs!  

Mary from Kerry Life came to visit us in March. A most enjoyable day had by all. Shrone NS joined us this year.
