School tour to Farnadolly and Killykeen

 We had a fabulous day on our school tour.

Farnadolly Milk Barn is open to the public every day and is near Killykeen Park. They would welcome any visitors.

Next we went to Killykeen where we had a teddy bears' picnic. Guess who came running out of the forest? An Actual Bear!!

We went to see the new bridge in Killykeen which was designed by Alice and Anna's dad Ronan. 

We went on a bear hunt in the forest.

Finally we stopped in at Killygarry Church to look at the stained glass windows. Fr Jordan met us there and told us a little about the church.

Here are the 2 chrysalises that attached to the top of the

Keep an eye on this post and we will add more photos to it when the butterflies emerge 🤞
