After school hurling continues on Thursday afternoons.

 

Local club hurler Michael Whelan was on hand yesterday to assist in after school hurling training and as a result 30  pupils where hurling on a nice spring afternoon.

 

A welcome visitor to the training session was the County Under 21 Cup which Michael won with Hospital/Herbertstown on the previous Saturday night.

Indoor Hurling

Herbertstown NS participate in South Indoor Hurling Finals.

Our boys team from 4th class competed in the finals of the South Cumann na mBunscol Indoor Hurling competition today in Martinstown. The boys lost out in keenly contested games against Kilmallock, Kilbehenny and Martinstown. It was a great experience for all involved.

 

The Wooden Horse of Troy

2nd and 3rd class were very interested in learning about the 10 year war between the Greeks and the Trojans. They were very opinionated on the actions of Menelaus and Paris! The pupils worked in groups to create illustrations of characters from the story. They also wrote letters from Helen’s point of view and shared them with their classmates.
