During this difficult time, the children of Kiltealy N.S. have been working very hard at home.
The staff want to say a huge well done to all the boys and girls for keeping up with their school work even though it must be a little challenging at times.
We have received lots of photos over the past few weeks and it is clear to see that the children of Kiltealy N.S. are so talented! We knew that anyway!
They have been doing their school work and their projects but they have also tried out certain activities that we wouldn’t get to do in school!
From Easter egg hunts to climbing mountains, from cooking dinner and baking to painting, gardening and DIY! They have learned lots of new skills at home that they will use throughout their lives so keep working hard, keep helping out at home and keep learning new things!
Have a look at what the boys and girls have been up to…
