Congratulations to 5th class pupil Ciarán Murphy who had the honour of leading out the Irish Soccer Team,as a flag bearer, in their qualifying game against Georgia. The  match took place in The Aviva Stadium last Thursday night. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and experience for Ciarán and his family.

Kiltealy N.S. have commenced Super Troopers, Ireland’s first “health homework” programme.

This programme is fun, free and friendly for all teachers, children and parents to take part in.

The programme focuses on increasing physical activity levels among children, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and improving well-being and food habits at a young age.

Super Troopers is all about ensuring children have as much fun as possible while getting active. Its not about winning or losing, but ensuring that kids take part and try their best.

Each child received their Super Trooper Active Journal and wall charts and can follow the weekly schedule of activities to keep active.

Have Fun Being Active Everybody!!!

 

Children from 1st -6th class enjoyed harvesting the lovely vegetables sown last Spring. 4th & 5th class pupils were very eager to see the produce from their mini garden which they cared for so well since the Spring.  Thank you to Jim Hanrahan who helped set up and maintain our garden. Jim passed on lots of gardening knowledge to our garden carers. Well done to all involved. Enjoy our photos below.
