On Friday afternoon, Junior and Senior Infants loved their surprise visit from local heroine Clódagh O'Halloran who came to share her success story and achievements to date with the Munster Women's Rugby Squad! The boys and girls enjoyed asking Clódagh questions about rugby and lifting the cup brought about great excitement and good cheer! 'Come on Munster!' was chanted to honour Clódagh and her victorious teammates! Thank you Clódagh for taking the time to come and visit us, you are an inspiration to the pupils of Kilkishen and we wish you further success in your career!
4th and 5th Class got creative with aluminum foil during the Art lesson and had a lot of fun making a person, a giraffe and a spider. Have a look at their fabulous foil figures.

Amazing Paper ChainsThe children in 4th and 5th Class really enjoyed this STEM Challenge, which appeared easy but required critical thinking skills. The challenge was to make the longest possible paper chain from a single sheet of paper. Attention to detail was a must, as was pre-planning. I was very impressed by the teamwork displayed and amazed by the length of the paper chains constructed. Well done everybody.
