This years school tour for all classes was to GR8 in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan. They children took part in many different activities; soft play area and climbing frames, ten-pin bowling, crazy golf, football pitch and lego building. They went on the Virtual Reality rollercoaster and finished off the day in the mini cinema before returning home. An enjoyable day was had by all. 

To mark National Biodiversity Week, 19th-28th of May, education ecologist Billy Flynn from Waterways Ireland brought the children on a walk along the canal in Ballyconnell to explore living things. The focus was on discovery learning. The children learned to identify some flowers found on the banks of the canal. They also became familiar with some birdsongs and calls and worked together to identify aquatic creatures. 

First Holy Communion took place on the 13th May. Congratulations to Evan, Cillian, James, Hugh and Charlie who all received their First Holy Communion. Thanks to the Pastoral Council, Drumlane for providing a lovely cake and treats for the childrens' party. 

The children from the Senior classes recently visited Cavan County Museum in Ballyjamesduff to take part in the World War One Trench Experience.  Cavan County Museum is now home to the largest outdoor replica trench open to the public in Ireland and the UK. The trench, built to the specifications and manuals of the Irish Guards and used by the Royal Irish Fusiliers at the Battle of the Somme 1916 is over 350m long and includes frontline, communication and support trenches. Over 6000 sand bags were used in its construction.
The children really enjoyed taking a trip back in time!
