5th and 6th class received their participation certificates for this year's Junior Entrepreneur Programme. Well done to all pupils involved. Pupils from 5th and 6th showcased their business project as part of the Junior Entrepreneur programme at the West County Ennis today. Schools from all over the county shared their experience of the programme and what business venture they worked on. Aoife Frost and Lilly Kavanagh gave a presentation on the Beanie Buddies big idea sharing our experience of the Junior Dragons Den, a visit from Patrica Wilde of Wilde Chocolates and designing an advert with the Clare People. Domhnal Slattery gave a talk to pupils on the day and special guest Peter Duggan was on hand to witness the pupils presentations. Well done to everyone involved. Pupils that purchased friendship bracelets as part of Friendship Week in February helped raise €220 which was donated to Amnesty International. The money raised goes to supporting human rights work worldwide. Thank you to everyone that supported.
1st and 2nd class took a trip to the fantastic Bealtaine workshop in the Clare Museum. They really enjoyed the workshop and are looking forward to the start of Summer.
The boys and girls soccer teams competed in the FAI 5-a-side primary schools competition at Tulla on Tuesday April 24. Both teams played some fantastic soccer and remained unbeaten for the entire competition. The boys were very unlucky not to progress to the county 5-a-side event after recording 4 draws and 1 victory. The girls were group winners with 2 excellent wins and one draw. They will now participate in the county 5-a-side soccer day on May 2. Well done to both teams. The pupils of 5th and 6th class meet with Emmet Moloney and his team at the Clare People to design an advert for this week's issue of the Clare People. The pupils were involved in creating and designing the advert which is promoting the pupils business idea for this year primary young entrepreneur project. The advert is promoting Kilkishen N.S. Beanie Hats which are available to purchase through the school. Pupils are showcasing their product at the West County this Thursday at the County Showcase event for primary schools. All participating schools will be in attendance and project sponsor Donal Slattery will address the pupils on the day. Keep an eye on this week's issue for the pupils advert. Pupils in Kilkishen N.S. have been using Athletics equipment kindly on loan from Clare Sports Partnership. Athletics coach Marion Rodgers recently visited the school and carried out an athletics workshop with all pupils. She introduced the pupils to throwing, high jump, long jump and speed jumps as part of the workshop. Every Thursday pupils will work on these skills as part of PE . Pupils follow a set of stations working on different athletic skills. Thank you to Martina O' Hagan for her work following the workshop with Marion. Congratulations to all pupils that received a Gold Star last week for doing their best, showing respect and completing their homework. Stars of the Week were chosen at random from each class. Well done everyone and best of luck again this week! Seniors/1st were learning about spring flowers and how to label parts of the plant. They got to handle and examine the tulip and the daffoldil in great detail. They drew these spring flowers from observation and by using their imagination they painted a background to suit their selected spring flowers. Children in seniors and first class had lots of Friday fun participating in puzzle relays. The boys and girls learned how important it is to encourage each other and work as a team! Congratulations to all pupils that received a Gold Star last week for doing their best, showing respect and completing their homework. Stars of the Week were chosen at random from each class. Well done everyone and best of luck again this week! Pupils from 3rd - 6th classes took part in a walking tour of Ennis on Tuesday. Pupils visited the oldest building in the town, the Old Friary, and were informed about the history of the town and the incredible history of this building since the 13th century. Pupils visited DeValera library and got to examine the presidental car owned by Eamonn DeValera. Finally, pupils worked as historians in the Ennis museum examining old and not so old historical artifacts from the past. It was a very enjoyable and educational experience for all pupils and we would like to thank Clare Museum, Ennis library and the OPW for sharing their facilities with our pupils. To finish the day, 5th and 6th carried out a history quiz based on the towns history. Have a look at some of the places the pupils visited here. |
