The “Trains Learning Experience” is explained in the NCCA publication:

“The Cork to Dublin train passes our play school every day and because of this trains are of great interest to the children. They play a lot of train games and so one day we asked the children if they would like to make a train. They were thrilled with the idea. We decided to use cardboard boxes to make the train and we painted it blue because [read more …] “Rathcoole Playschool Features on Cover of Bernardos Journal”

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a  cairde and welcome to News Report 1186 from Millstreet.
We had a great weekend here in Millstreet and lots of money were raised for  some very good causes. It kicked off on Saturday with a 10k walk or run starting out from the Pub in Carriginma. It was a first and over 100 people took part. There was no shortage of cooling drinks and sticking plaster, along the way and later there was Music and Dancing with Tommy G. All the proceeds will be divided between Millstreet and Macroom Hospitals.
Sean and Matt at the Pub have top be commended for the great work that they do for their community in the greater Carriganima area.
Apart from that Our beautiful Country Park ran a super Kite Festival which attracted huge crowds. Again it was a first but one that is destined to become an annual event. The weather was great and children and adults had a great time, even learned how to make their own kite.  All the proceeds will go to Cancer research. And well done to all concerned.

Our Pipe Band held their annual Church Gate collection. It was well supported  and they want to thank all those who gave so generously.
