Today our P5/P6 class got to celebrate their win for the “Decorate your Door” competition we launched last month! And what a day they had!!

Everyone got to go out on Davys yellow boat for the most amazing cruise around the Bay and out to the black rock! You’ll see from the pics & video - the smiles say it all!
Carnlough Bay Boat Tours

Followed by yummy hot chocolates in Twilight Coffee & Bunkhouse - what a treat!

We are so grateful to St John's Camogie Club Carnlough for sponsoring the prizes for this competition and were DELIGHTED when the amazing Eva Lee was able to come along this morning to represent the club, fresh from her All Ireland victory at the weekend! The kids all got pics with her and were delighted she took the time to come down! Look at those smiles!!

Thanks so much to everyone involved- Davy, staff at Twilight, Miss Cosgrove, Mrs McHugh, all the teaching assistants, Camogie club, Eva & Gary for the drone footage- such a great day all round!

Well done again to P5/P6 for winning with the most votes for their door, and to all the classes who took part! We already can’t wait to do it again next year! ☺️
