Autumn Nature Walk 🍂 🍁

by | Oct 6, 2022 |

2nd and 3rd class both enjoyed a nature walk with Bean Uí Riain this the week! They went on a tree hunt, searching for Irish native trees and their leaves. The children collected many fruits and seeds, some of which will be planted in the school garden in the coming weeks.

Everyone had a great time observing nature at work. It was lovely to see evidence of the changing season all around the countryside!

Junior Infants 2022/2023

by | Sep 16, 2022 |

We would like to welcome our new Junior Infants to Walterstown National School. Since their first day they have really impressed us with their behaviour, manners and enthusiasm! We are looking forward to creating many happy memories with them in the years to come!

Junior Infants have been painting hedgehogs, making rainbow fish and learning new games on the playground. They have been busy during Aistear, building houses from polydrons and lego. They have enjoyed story time at the library, gone on a few nature walks and made lots of new friends!

Sports Day 2022

by | Jun 21, 2022 |

The children took part in various activities including skipping, hula hooping, tennis, hockey, three legged races, penalty shoot outs, long jumping, running, water activities and many more.

We had two bouncy castles in the school which the children thoroughly enjoyed! Well done to all the boys and girls for their excellent behaviour and participation on Sports Day 2022!

Flag Day 2022

by | Jun 17, 2022 |

Walterstown NS held “Flag Day” yesterday to celebrate the awarding of three flags that we successfully earned this year. Our school was very proud of this huge achievement!

WNS were awarded the:

  • Green Flag
  • Active Flag
  • Amber Flag

The whole school community worked very hard to meet the criteria for each of the above flags. We held a whole school assembly on the yard – the first time we were able to do this in a long time! Members of the Green, Active and Amber Flag Committees spoke before each flag was raised to a rounding applause!

Afterwards, the Parents’ Association kindly organised a visit from the ice-cream van to celebrate the amazing achievement. Everyone was delighted with their ice-cream/slushie!

Well done to all involved!

Our School Anthem

by | May 16, 2022 |

Written in keeping with our motto, ‘Ar Aghaidh le Chéile – Moving Forward Together’, our anthem has been composed by the children of our school. You can click on the link to our school YouTube Channel below and sing along with our 1st edit of ‘Ar Aghaidh le Chéile’ at any time and anywhere!

Once ready, we will professionally record the school community performing ‘Ar Aghaidh le Chéile’ and make our production available across a variety of media. Keep an eye out for future edits of our anthem on our school socials as they happen!

Share the creativity and, Ar Aghaidh le Chéile!
