The pupils from 5th & 6th class celebrated internet safety day recently.

The pupils watched some cartoon video logs highlighting the importance of internet safety and engaged in discussion to highlight the importance of safer internet use especially in the area of social media sites.

They carried out an experiment around the sharing of images online and how they can become viral in a very short space of time.

After a great Round 1 start to their Mini Sevens campaign, our teams failed to emerge from the Round 2 qualifiers. Well done to both teams on a tremendous effort.

We now turn our focus to the Rackard League Hurling and Camogie tournaments.

Rackard League 

The Camogie girls began their league journey in Bunclody on a wet Thursday last week. This game was very tight and having held the lead into the second half the girls were unlucky to lose by the final whistle.

Final Score Ballindaggin (Kitealy & Caim) 1-3 Bunclody 3-2

Kiltealy Girls involved on the day were Heather Boyce, Emma Healy, Rebecca Codd, Katie Bowe and Lauren Smith.

The girls play Castlebridge this week.

The hurlers begin their campaign this week also playing Marshalstown in Farmleigh on Tuesday 4th at 1pm.

Kiltealy Boys invovled are Ryan Purcell, Jacques Neville, Michael Murphy, Danny Fitzhenry, Dylan Purcell, Padraig Waters, Ciarán Murphy, James Aylward, Noel Cowman, Tomás Murphy, Cillian Hanrahan and David Nolan (injured)

Best of luck to both teams for the league ahead.

Congratulations to the pupils from 2nd-6th class who have completed an 8 week schools swimming programme in The Waterfront, Enniscorthy.

Active Archie’s Adventures

DSC_0485

Through our Active Flag we are raising awareness of fitness among children. We will be aiming to explore as many avenues as possible to keep the children fit and active.

Active Archie has arrived in Kiltealty N.S. and has visited the children to say hello. As his name suggests, he likes getting lots of exercise and he really enjoys trying new activities.

We would like to invite boys and girls in the junior classes and their families to bring Active Archie along with them if they are doing some kind of physical activity, or going to a sporting event as either participants or spectators.

Active Archie will help us see all the activities that the children are involved in at home. This may be organised activities or simply bouncing on the trampoline. Active Archie will be having all sorts of exciting adventures in the next few months!

It would be great if the boys and girls could write about what they did with Active Archie and/or draw a picture about their adventure. Hopefully Active Archie will get to do lots of fun activities with the boys and girls and their families.
