Colourful characters and plenty of fun at Scallywags Preschool

Published

on

Colourful costumes were all part of the theme at Scallywags Preschool last week as the children were super excited to make a return and see their friends and teachers. To mark the occasion they celebrated with World Book Day and dressed up as their favourite characters.

"The effort was fantastic with an amazing cardboard Orca whale from Darragh Murphy to represent his favourite book, 'The Snail and the Whale' by Julia Donaldson," Patricia Quigley from Scallywags said.

"The hot glue gun was out for a dinosaur from Barra Roche, and Freddie Moore says Giraffes Do Dance! The unpaired socks made a great octopus for Rossa Cronin, and 'Red Riding Hood' Aoibhin Spillane found a big, good wolf in Luke Hannon. Superheroes and princesses, a birthday bear, a Kerry footballer, Woody and a Little Pony all made an appearance too."

Two young local girls showed great business initiative on Saturday ahead of the Kerry v Donegal match at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Erin McSweeney and Jessie Doolin set up a sweet stall outside a house on Lewis Road, catching the thousands of football fans walking towards the grounds.

The enterprising pair did a busy trade selling soft drinks, sweets, and chocolates to the passing crowds before throw-in.

Their match-day venture also caught the attention of the national sports media, with a photograph of the girls at their stall captured by Sportsfile photographer Stephen McCarthy ahead of the game.

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.

The judges praised the photograph as an outstanding example of landscape work, noting its effective balance of composition, light, and perspective to capture the vastness of the West Kerry terrain.
