NEW PLAYGROUND

A small piece of history was made last week when, after almost 60 years the pupils of Boolavogue NS played in the playground at the lefthand side of the main school building, for the last time. A new classroom is due to be installed there shortly and a new playground has been constructed in the small pitch on the right of the school. When they returned from the ‘snow’ break, they were able to use the new playground. They and their parents could also use the new entrance into the new playground from the carpark sited where the Master’s house used to be.

The next development will see the installation of the new classroom. This has been faciliated thanks to the generosity of Alfred Champan, who has allowed the school authorities to knock down the ditch beside to school to allow easy access to the ‘old’ playground.

SNOW HOLIDAY

It may have been ‘no holiday’ for the parents but the pupils of Boolavogue NS welcomed the ‘snow holiday’ brought to them by the ‘Beast from the East’ and Storm Emma. The school was closed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week due to the dangerous conditions and the snowfalls.

SYMPATHY
