Dromagh’s Big Days Out!
The Junior Room pupils congregated at the school grounds on Friday 24th June. There was great excitement for the day ahead. The rain started to fall heavily. Ms. Edel Sheehan, Ms. Kate O’Keeffe and Ms. Siobhan Kelleher were awaiting to reassure parents and children that the day would awaken from its dark clouds and enjoyment would be had by all. The laughter and banter echoed within the bus. The fun and anticipation of what was in store was contagious! Walking around Rumley Farm when the rain vanished, what did the children see or do? The children spotted cool, cute, cuddly animals like rabbits, pigs, llamas, wolves, the puppies called Jack and Jill and much more! They caught a glimpse of the growing herd of cows. Waiting around the corner was Rumley’s Milking Machine Robot! The tractor trailer rides could have kept going all day and they would have kept returning for more! The pedal go karts were in high demand amongst the children, too. There were many more games, all of which were given the thumbs up. After a busy day on the farm the children had refreshments and relaxation. Shopping had to be done prior to leaving for home and pocket money had to be spent! A fun filled day exploring animal habitats and taking a closer look at the wild and wonderful variety of animals living on Rumley ‘s Farm. “Best Day ever” and “Great fun” were the approving words of the children.

On Friday 24th June the Senior Room departed the school grounds for the Capital. The weather wasn’t very kind, rain, more rain! Weather permitting or not, it didn’t deter or dampen the spirits of the teachers, Mr. McAuliffe, Ms, Dineen, Ms. Mannix or the children. As the Old Oak Tree was left behind, the fun and vocals on the bus began. From early morning excitement filled the air. Firstly, we headed to Croke Park. The boys and girls had a fabulous time within and were dreaming of attending or playing for Cork the next day! Mr. McAuliffe was only wishing that it was Kerry who was in the playing the following day! Onto the museum where the history of the GAA was explained. Jerseys had to be bought! Photos had to be taken. Next up was Liffey Valley Shopping Centre –for some retail therapy! Onwards to Jump Zone - Ireland’s first and Europe’s largest indoor trampoline sports park for some fun and games. After an afternoon of fun in Dublin we headed for the Rebel County once again. The bus arrived at the school as the night sky was falling upon our Old Oak Tree in the school yard. Smiling faces disembarked from the bus. A great day was had by all!
