I AM a fifth class pupil and I have been in this school for seven years,and I have found it is a great school and we should appreciate it.
Cuilmore is a two roomed school with two boys' toilets and two girls' toilets and off the corridor is a small room where we store things. Outside we have a shed where we change our shoes and we also have a shelter to play in when the day is wet.
There are thirty four pupils in our school at present, nineteen pupils in Mrs. O'Malleys room and fifteen in Miss Chambers' room. We go swimming every year for seven sessions. Swimming is great fun and it is good to learn it when you are young. We also have dancing lessons every year for seven sessions. We got a computer last year which is good fun as well as being educational for both young and old. The school is also equipped with a photocopier, fridge, central heating and hot water. The photocopier is a great hdp to the teachers because they do not have to write everything down for the children, they can photocopy it instead.
The central heating and the hot water are essential in the cold weather. My father, when he was going to school fifty years ago, would not have dreamt of such things in a school.
The pupil/teacher rdationship has changed drastically since 1942 because the children were frightened of their teachers in those days but now the scene is much more rdaxed. I think the change is for the better. I enjoy going to Cuilmore National School as it stands in 1992 and I hope that it will be around in another fifty years.
