Junior Room School Tour 2022

Children in the Junior Room went on the much awaited School Tour on June 1st 2022. Our First stop was Marl Hill Open Farm where we were greeted with hot chocolate and cookies. This was followed by a tour of the animal pens, some go carting and out door play. Next up was a whizz around for all on the barrel ride. Our morning of Marl Hill fun was finished off with some indoor activity in the soft play area. Obviously, with all that fun, we worked up an appetite. McDonalds was next on the itinerary where we enjoyed some much needed refreshments including some ice cream that went down a treat. After that we headed for a game of bowling followed by a trip to St. Patrick's Well in Clonmel where we appreciated the tranquility, relaxed and cooled our weary feet. What a day - and the sun shone brightly to boot. A most enjoyable day for all.
