Dandelion called into our school to remind us of all the wonderful activities for families in the Town Park this weekend. Many children from Caherleaheen go to the park EVERY Sunday for a 2k Park Run. It’s great fun. This Sunday young runners will dress up in ‘flower power’ style.Take a look…. .

One more lap…..

All done, with a smile👍Super R. 😁

This Senior Infant runner received his half-marathon band! He ran his 11th race this morning. Well done, R.👍

Flower power to these two sisters who are named after flowers! So they really enjoyed this morning’s run in the park.

This little Junior Infant will soon have accumulated her ‘half marathon’ too. SUPER S.😁

This Sixth Class girl is a veteran! She hardly ever misses a Sat 5k or a Sun 2k. She achieved her marathon status weeks ago! She won’t stop until she has an ‘Ultra Marathon’. Well Done A!. You are an inspiration!

Caroline, one of our Parents promotes junior running in all the local schools. She is powered not by flowers but by the belief that it’s fun, healthy and brings communities together. Junior Park Run isn’t a fairytale it’s a weekly reality in Tralee. Thanks Caroline and Colm for all your encouragement and enthusiasm👍

Ms Noelle’s class went on a nature walk around Caherleaheen. They were very interested in all the local plants: herb robert, wild strawberries,tufted vetch, lesser periwinkle, common violet, and the FOUR-leaved clover. They also went to Ballybunion last Friday on their school tour. Take a look….

A minute in a meadow.

Great kids who follow the Rules of the Road.

‘Speedwell’

‘Tufted Vetch’.

A small gate to a derelict cottage raises their interest.

A beautifully preserved iron gate.

What’s this? FOUR-leaved clover?

These children are lucky! Can you ses what they are holding?

The class really enjoyed the short walk down Aherne’s Road. We might pop down there again before our holidays, to see how the wild strawberries are getting on….
