Lots of fun was had in Kiltealy NS for Seachtain na Gaeilge.

All pupils were doing their best throughout the week to speak ‘as gaeilge’ informally each day. Prizes were given out in all classrooms for the great efforts being made.

Tráth na gCeist

5th & 6th Class held a Tráth na gCeist. The pupils really enjoyed coming up with team names ‘as gaeilge’ and taking part in a quiz through Irish. Congratulations to our winning team below “Bolg Buí Buachaillí” (Yellow Belly Boys!!)

Céilí Fun

The whole school participated in a céilí

Ionsaí na hInse was the dance of choice while the infants practiced their Irish Dancing steps in a group circle. As you can see from our photos this was an enjoyable afternoon.

The best group of dancers was from the senior room- Ryan, Cillian, Emma, Rebecca, Lauren, Caoimhe, Heather and Aisling! Well done to all who took part

5th and 6th classes made a beautiful bunch of crepe papered flowers for their mothers to celebrate Mothers Day recently. These were quick and easy to make and the class really enjoyed the process.

5th & 6th class were very busy making a huge backdrop for a recent fundraiser in The Community Hall. Funds are being raised to develop a community playground and so it was very fitting that the children of the community were able to contribute to the Rose of Kiltealy Fundraising event.

Many hours of work went into making this display, which included crepe papering each individual letter, heart and rose, cutting of letters, taping the card background, covering the card background with black paper, strategic placing and stapling of letters.

5th & 6th class really enjoyed the process. Well done to them all.

Take a look at the process and the finished product below.

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.

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

All pupils made great advancements at various levels.

Here they are receiving their Swimming Skills Award certificates.
