Primary 2 go exploring in Pomeroy Forest! 🌳🍂🍁

14th Oct 2025

Today, our Primary 2 pupils enjoyed a wonderful autumn adventure in Pomeroy Forest as part of our World Around Us topic, "Into the Woods."

During our walk, we were on the lookout for all the signs of autumn — and we found plenty! The children collected colourful leaves, acorns, pinecones, and other natural treasures which we’ve brought back to school. These will be used in our upcoming art and numeracy play activities — we can’t wait to get creative with them!

To mark Maths Week Ireland, we also took part in a fun and interactive maths trail through the forest. The children used their problem-solving skills to complete number challenges, spot shapes in nature, make patterns and count everything from trees to twigs.

The fresh air, learning, and laughter made it a day to remember. A big thank you to all our helpers who made the trip possible and to our Primary 2 boys and girls who were excellent all day and represented our school brilliantly.
