The Christmas Disco was a great success. There was lots of dancing and singing and most importantly, lots of fun! Although it was hard to catch them standing still, we managed to get a few photographs of the boys and girls during the Christmas Disco.
There was great excitement when Santy came to visit the children.

Congratulations to James Aylward from 6th Class who came 3rd in the Age 11-13 Category of The Enniscorthy Credit Union Competition. The theme this year was “Dreams Are Made Of This”. James drew a picture of a boy sitting at his school desk daydreaming. James was presented with his prize and certificate at a prize-giving ceremony in The Riverside Hotel, Enniscorthy last Tuesday night. Well done James. A great achievement.

Many thanks for the support of this fundraiser.
The boys football team were in hard luck on Monday afternoon when they were defeated by Fethard on a scoreline of 1-10 to 1-6 at the semi-final stage of the Rackard League. All Kiltealy players put in a mighty performance and were unfortunate to come out of the game with a loss. The team were well in contention at half-time but a few second half controversial decisions did not go in their favour and a victory slowly slipped away.
Well done to the entire team who did themselves, their schools and their families very proud throughout the league.
We look forward to seeing these boys in hurling action later in the school year as no doubt they will put in another great league campaign.
Congratulations to all on a great first term of work. We packed alot of learning into the 8 weeks, and alot of fun was had while doing so. Take a look below at some of the achievements.

The pupils of Kiltealy impressed again this year with fantastic efforts going into Halloween costumes.
Ghosts and goblins, witches and werewolves, zombies and skeletons; were scattered throughout the group that traveled around the village.
We stopped off to see the children from the playschool in their costumes and they treated us to a song and nursery rhyme.
We continued down through the village to the carpark where our group photo was taken before making our way back to the school.
Congratulations to all the 5th and 6th class pupils who were part of the victorious Rackard League Football Team. The team defeated Oulart in the Enniscorthy District Final yesterday on a scoreline of 3-7 to 1-2.
Padraig Waters (1-2) had a great game, getting vital scores in the first half when there was very little between the teams. Ryan Purcell used his height to his advantage at full forward, making things very difficult for the Oulart full back line.
Danny Fitzhenry was very influential at midfield, supplying great balls into the forwards. Dylan Purcell, David Nolan and Noel Cowman were powerful in the backs throughout the 50 minutes. James Aylward was introduced towards the end and made his mark on the game.
Kiltealy players: Ryan Purcell, Padraig Waters, Danny Fitzhenry, David Nolan, Dylan Purcell, Noel Cowman, James Aylward, Jacques Neville and Cillian Hanrahan all made appearances on the team throughout the league campaign.
The team now go on to contest the county semi-final which will be played after the mid-term break.
Well done to the boys for getting this far in the league. We are very proud of their success and we will be out again in numbers to support them on their quest to the final.
Picasso Art
Take a look at our Picasso inspired Art that we created last week. This was a really fun lesson.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2016
The Transition Year Students from The FCJ were in the school last Friday to launch this years Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal. Kiltealy N.S has a long tradition of supporting this cause and we are sure that this year will be as successful a collection as previous years.
The children watched a short video which showed some less fortunate children receiving their shoeboxes last Christmas. It was lovely to see the expression of pure delight on the faces of all the children and this made us all realise just how fortunate we are.
All pupils have now received their information leaflets which will give them and their parents all the information they need to get involved.
Shoeboxes will be collected the week after the mid-term break.
