Creative Schools Week 2025

The pupils in Walterstown National School had a fantastic time celebrating Creative Schools this week. We mostly focused on textile art – where fine art and craft collide! Weaving, knotting, beading and braiding (including hair!) were just some of the techniques we learned about. We built an outdoor tepee, made a tapestry from chicken wire, created crazy hairstyles and beautiful dream catchers for our new Sensory Garden.

Cross Country

Thanks to Trevor from Great Island Athletics and to Cuskinny Court for another brilliant Cross Country event – The Great Island Cross Cup. Our athletes had a great day and we were thrilled to bring home 5 medals!

Fleur’s Feast

Thanks to Mr. Keogh and Ms. Fleming who prepared a delicious feast for all staff in return for a donation to My Canine Companion. We raised €400 for the wonderful charity that brought us our Fleur.

Junior Entrepreneur Project

This year’s 5th Class are taking part in the Junior Entrepreneur Project. They are making customised croc charms. They would like to say a big thank you to Cobh Credit Union for sponsoring their business.
