Our Annual Readathon concluded on World Book Day and we enjoyed a fabulous day of fancy dress on Friday 8th March in celebration of its success. Well done to all team members. 690 books were read in total over the 5 week period. Team Rowling emerged the overall winners. Congratulations to all.

Engineer’s Week was celebrated from the 2nd – 8th of March.

Ms. Meaney secured the WeDo Lego boxes for Engineers Week in early March. The pupils had a number of opportunities over 2 weeks to create a variety of motorised lego structures. The pupils used an app to activate their movement. Pupils also had opportunities to be creative with the STEM Bins and engaged in various STEM challenges throughout the week.

Many thanks also to Sinead Crotty who did a session on mirco:bits with 3rd & 4th Class.

All the children in Kiltealy NS worked really hard this week building and creating a variety of projects. Well done to everyone who took part. Here are some of their amazing creations.

Our Green School Committee, led by Ms. Crosbie, had an extremely successful visit from a County Council Green Schools Co-Ordinator earlier this Month. The committee presented their work on the theme of Biodiversity. The GS Co-Ordinator was very impressed with their knowledge and commended them on their very informative notice board which displays their ongoing work. Our flag application has been submitted by Ms. Crosbie and we hope to hear some news very soon on our success.

3rd – 6th class recently enjoyed a presentation from the ACRES organisation who promote organic farming methods and support farmers in nurturing biodiversity on their land-a very informative day for all.
