Our old school was built in 1857. It was 1 room with a partition going through the middle so it was split in 2. There was a potbelly stove in the middle to heat both classrooms. If 1 teacher was sick they would pull back the partition so the 2 classrooms were 1 again. There was no electricity because electricity came into Ireland in the 1950s. The toilets were outside and they were chemical toilets not flush toilets.
The new school was built in 1965. It had bigger classrooms, indoor toilets and better play facilities. Computers and other electrical goods came into Ireland in those years. In 2008 the school had 2 new classrooms built onto it. These new classrooms are very big and we still have the 2 old classrooms that we used over the years. The old school is up the road and is still standing since it was built 151 year's ago.
