Active Week 2023
STEAM Engineering-in-a-Box
Last week the pupils in sixth class paid a visit to Gilead Sciences. This was a lovely way to celebrate completing the STEAM Engineering-in-a-Box programme which the children took part in this year. EIAB was a fun, engaging, ten week programme which guided the engineer, teacher and children collaboratively through a variety of challenges faced by humans throughout the history of mankind. We would like to thank Gilead for giving us the opportunity to take part in EIAB!
Sixth Class
In June we visited UCC. We got the bus up to Cork City and we were given a tour of the campus. We saw the Boole Library and the observatory. We also visited the church on campus.
We visited Ballyhass lakes in Coachford on our school tour. We did a nature walk, a netted obstacle course, a team building course and our favourite, the water inflatables.
We are now busy preparing for our graduation which is on Tuesday 27th June.
Fifth Class
We went to a rugby blitz in Cobh Pirates. We did impressionist paintings. We taught second class how to play tag rugby. We made maths board games and have been playing them with other classes. We had a great time on our school tour!

Cork County Final
Congratulations to our girls who played in the Cork County Final of the FAI 5s Primary Competition. The girls won their group and also their semi and did Walterstown National School proud. Well done everyone!
Easter Egg Hunt
A big thank you to the PA who organised an Easter egg hunt for the boys and girls in Walterstown National School. The pupils really enjoyed following the clues and collecting the eggs!
Aqua Class
The Aqua Class have been very busy this term. They have really enjoyed their Friday baking sessions – most recently they made lovely scones.
The children have been doing lots of fun art based on the theme Easter. They have made bunny and chick masks, cards for their families and baskets to collect Easter eggs. They also have been doing lots of work revising their tricky words and focusing on “sh”, “ch” and “th” in their phonics.

WNS Inclusion Committee
In Walterstown NS we have a fantastic Inclusion Committee who have been busy teaching the boys and girls Stand By Me using Lámh. Yesterday the whole school came together in the hall to perform and record Stand By Me. We look forward to learning many more songs using Lámh in the future!
