Junior and Senior Infants have been very busy this week. Firstly, the children completed activities as part of Friendship Week. They discussed the qualities of a good friend before working in pairs to design a ‘Friendship Chain’. They wrote one or two words to describe a good friend on each ‘person’ and decorated it for a display in the classroom. The children also created posters for the ‘National School Attendance Campaign’. Children drew pictures of their favourite aspects of school in order to promote coming to school everyday and on time e.g. Astroturf, Maths, Art, Reading etc. These were displayed on a large poster outside the classroom. The children learned about The Easter Story in Grow in Love. To celebrate the feast, they made bunny and chick masks as well as some Easter baskets. They filled these baskets with yummy Easter eggs from the Easter Egg Hunt they had in class today 🍫🥚 After hurling with Killian in the new Astroturf, they enjoyed a party and a movie as a treat before the holidays. The children had a fun-filled week. Enjoy the well earned Easter break 🐣🐰 Sechtain na Gaeilge finished on Friday March 22 with a senior Tráth na gCéist for pupils from 4th to 6th classes. 16 teams of three took part with 9 rounds based on different topics and themes. The top three teams each won a special Easter Egg. Congratulations to our winning teams. Throughout SnaG 2024, pupils have been encouraged to use Irish as much as possible throughout the day. Pupils have been earning raffle tickets for their efforts and each class had six lucky winners. Well done to all that took part and promoted the use of Irish all around our school. Comhgairdeas do gach duine a úsaid a chuid gaeilge i rith SnaG 2024. Gan dabht, tagann feabhsú ar a gcuid gaeilge nuair a chleachtaíonn tú! On Wednesday March 20, Kilkishen boys competed in the I.N.T.O. mini 7's hurlling blitz held at Smith O'Briens G.A.A. club in Killaloe. 6 schools competed on the day with Kilkishen grouped with Broadford and Ogonelloe N.S.

Congratulations to our Pupil of the Week award winners. Each week pupils are asked to remember 3 important rules: 1. Show Respect 2. Do Your Best and 3. Complete Homework. In each classroom pupils that manage to demonstrate these on a daily basis are in the running for special weekly awards announced every Monday. Well done to all our award winners from Ms. Fawl, Ms. Whitney, Mr. Keane and Mr. Walsh's classes. Best of luck to everyone this week. Bhíomar ag ceiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge i Rang 4 agus 5. Bhí na páistí uilig ag obair go dian Gaeilge a cleachtadh agus a úsáid. Bhí réimse leathán imeachtaí ar siúl agus rinne gach duine sár-iarracht. Bhí an-craic againn! Bhí na páistí ó Naíonáin Mhóra agus Rang 1 an-gnóthach le seachtainí beaga anuas ag ceilíuradh Seachtain na Gaeilge. Glac siad páirteach i roinnt mhaith imeachtaí mar shampla: cluichí biongó, cluichí ar líne (ó Séideán Sí) agus Deir ó Grádaigh (Simon Says). Rinne na páistí gach iarracht chun Gaeilge neamhfoirmiúl a labhairt gach lá ar scoil. The children of Senior and Infants and 1st Class have been very busy recently celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge. They took part in many activities for example: Bingo games, online language games and Simon Says. The children made every effort to use informal Irish each day in school. The children enjoyed learning about St Patrick and getting ready for St Patricks Day. Enjoy the photographs of our Lá Glas (green day) which we had in school today. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh ☘️! The students of 2nd class celebrated their First Reconcilation today with a hot chocolate and popcorn party. The students are very excited for their Communion on May 4th 2024. Thank you to Bernie Torpey and Father Donal for organising the mass. Also a big thank you to Edel McInerney who led the choir for the mass and also to Caroline and Ms. McNamara for their work on the artwork for the day. Thank you to Mary for making and distributing the hot chocolate which was a big hit with the children.
