Ladies Walk Well Being Wednesday

On Wednesday 24th of September the whole school enjoyed a wonderful nature walk in Ballyhaise along the beautiful Lady’s Walk trail. Each class got the bus down to the Ballyhaise Agricultural College and set off on their adventure through the woods.

‍
Ms Masterson met each class and led them along the walk discussing and explaining the different types of trees, leaves and seeds along the way. The pupils had the chance to collect acorns, sycamore seeds and colourful leaves while learning how to identify trees by their shape, leaves and fruits. We also closed our eyes and were silent as we listened to the sounds of nature and identified what we could hear. Some of the senior classes also made it to the Ice House at the end of the trail where they saw some insects and a birds nest.

‍
The air was crisp, the sun was shining and the path was carpeted with golden leaves, making it a perfect setting to explore and appreciate nature at this beautiful time of the year. Everyone returned to school with bags full of nature’s treasures and lots of new knowledge about the wonderful world of trees!
