Cobh Art Competition
This competition was a great opportunity for the children to work on their artistic skills and we were really impressed with their drawings, use of colour and attention to detail.
St. Colman’s Cathedral, Belvelly Castle and the “Deck of Cards” were just some of the places that featured in the childrens’ artwork.
Congratulations to all the boys and girls and especially to Ella Kennedy, 3rd class, who won in the 7-8 year old category!
