We have had a very busy term here in Killurney National School full of different initiatives and projects.
We started off in January, by celebrating Catholic Schools week and Grandparent`s Day. All of the pupils invited their grandparents/ special adult in for a tea/coffee morning in Killurney Hall. Some of the parents and pupils baked delicious treats and children presented their grandparents with cards and drawings. It was a very enjoyable morning.
The boys and girls have been extremely busy lately, preparing for their upcoming school show “Cinderella Rockerfella” which will take place in Killurney hall on 21st March. Rehearsals and casting began immediately after the Christmas break with Gillian. All pupils from junior infants right up to 6th class will have a role in the production. Well done especially to Ms Hogan and the senior room pupils who have been staying back after school to create absolutely fabulous backdrops and props.
On Tuesday 13th February, The senior room travelled to Killusty National School for a friendly hurling match. Unfortunately, we were beaten but everyone had a great day.
On Monday 19th February, All senior room pupils took part in an online Internet safety workshop via web cam link with Internet safety expert, Ger Brick. Parents were also given the opportunity to take part in a follow up zoom workshop from home that evening.
On Thursday 7th March, we celebrated World Book Day. Instead of their usual homework this week, pupils carried out projects on their favourite book characters/ author and presented them to their class. Everybody dressed up and there were prizes of Easons books vouchers for creativity and best effort in both classrooms.
5th and 6th class recently attended a religious retreat in Glencomeragh, followed by their ceremony of light in preparation for their Confirmation. On Tuesday 12th March, both classes celebrated their Confirmation in Kilcash Church with Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan along with Kilcash and Kilsheelan National Schools.
Over the past few weeks, we have been taking part in the Nore Valley Incubation and Hatching Project as part of Science and SPHE. The school received an incubator and 7 eggs to be monitored over a 3 week period. There was great excitement on 6th March as they began hatching . We had four healthy , strong chicks which we had great fun naming. We were sad to see them go back to the farm on 13th March but all pupils received a voucher to go visit them with their families at Nore Valley.
