The students of 2nd and 3rd class have been increasing their vocabulary in both English and Gaelige through the medium of ''Wordle'' and ''Foclach'' The students have had great fun working together to solve the word problems. After we are successful the class look up the meaning of the words in their dictionary. This method of vocabulary work has really brought the class together and increased their vocabulary in both English and Irish.
The school authority were delighted to receive the welcomed news that Kilkishen N.S. has been awarded over €102,00 in the latest Sports Capital Grant allocation. The additional funding will add to the existing Astro-Turf and Ball Wall facility constructed with funding from previous Sports Capital funding secured in 2018. An expansion of this facility to include floodlighting along with the construction of a walking and jogging track with sprints lanes will progress to the next phase having secured this funding. The planned expansion will be a huge benefit to the school, preschool and entire community.

Well done to all and best of luck everyone to be chosen as next week's winners With the help of Mark O'Malley and Zimmer Biotech the students of 2nd and 3rd class have learned how to plan and build a city. The final lesson on our journey took place yesterday. This lesson was full of useful information ranging from internet safety to banking. The children loved all of the five lessons and definitely benefited from them in a variety of different ways. As class teacher I would like to thank Mark O'Malley for his professional and engaging lessons, while also I would like to thank Zimmer for the opportunity to partake in such an initiative. |
