We have been learning about the genre of recount writing in 3rd and 4th class. The children have learned how to structure a recount piece of writing and they have produced some excellent pieces of writing. 3rd and 4th Class are enjoying Station teaching every Thursday. Today, at the various stations, they explored capacity and volume, length, online Maths games (related to these topics) and Maths language. The children in 3rd and 4th Class were learning about the Austrian artist Hundertwasser and had fun creating their own Hundertwasser inspired art. They explored his use of 'bright, dark colours' and organic lines including spiral shapes. In our lesson we combined cool and warm colours, patterns and lines, composition and flow. The boys and girls from Kilkishen competed in a Gaelic Football blitz held in Newmarket. The other teams involved were Broadford, Parteen and the hosts Newmarket. The team competed and displayed some unbelievable passages of play that would not be out of place in Croke Park on Saturday. Despite not winning our team can be proud of their heart and style of play. Mickey Canny in 6th class was a scoring machine and his individual skill was a joy to watch. Darragh Moroney covered every blade of grass in Newmarket pitch and was a stellar performer throughout. This group of players should be so proud of themselves their drive and never say die attitude was an inspiration to watch. Training for Gaelic Football will continue during lunch time next week. From today's performance the future of the big ball is bright in Kilkishen.
