With Christmas just around the corner the celebrations are in full swing in Walterstown National School.

They have decorated the school with Christmas decorations, written letters to Santa Claus and even spotted an Elf on the Shelf in some classrooms!
Second Class 2021
Second class have been working very hard this year. They are learning a lot and have also been having great fun with their friends in school.
We love science! We learned all about the human skeleton and made some cool cotton bud skeletons to decorate the school corridors. “The Gummy Bear Experiment” was interesting and had some very surprising results.
