For the past couple of weeks 1st & 2nd class have been learning about apples.
From looking at the different apple varieties, to how they are harvested and creating an excellent apple harvest display they now have a great deal more knowledge on a favourite fruit for many.
In recognition of their hard work, they all got apples from the Apple Farm in Cahir. The variety they received was ‘Tipperary Pippen’.
The third and fourth class pupils recently investigated the importance of good hand washing and the results are clear to see in the photos below. The washing techniques which were compared were: ‘splash & dash’, ‘quick wash’ and ‘hospital wash’.
