6th Class Graduation

Today we had our Graduation ceremony for 6th class. We wish the class of 2017 the best of luck in secondary school! 

As part of our celebration we had a very yummy and special cake. 



We all got a tshirt which we were able to get signed by all in the school today. A lovely memory to have for years to come. 




We hope you enjoyed looking back at all of the photos of your time in Kilcoskan NS and best of luck in your secondary school journey.

June 2017

We had a blast baking some yummy treats today. We divided into four groups and made a selection of cupcakes and cookies. 




Our cupcakes turned out really yummy!





They were so yummy that we are every last one of them! 


Dog Trust Came to Visit

We were very lucky to get a visit from a lovely lady from Dog's Trust and her dog Lucy today. 

Dog's Trust is a charity that is based very close to our school. They help to re-home dogs. We learnt the story of one particular dog which they had in their shelter. We learnt the different steps that happen from when the dog comes into the charity until it finds its forever home. 






At our visit today we learnt lots about how to be responsible dog owners. We learnt about a dogs need for food, shelter and companionship. We also learnt about foods that might harm a dog. 




Lucy is a very well trained dog who followed her owner's every command. It is important to train your dog to listen to your commands for when you are bringing the dog for a walk. 





We learnt about how to encounter a dog that we don't know. We learnt the safe way to approach a dog and also the best way to move away from a dog we don't like. 






We will continue to collect Ink Cartridges next school term to help feed the dogs in the charity. 1 cartridge will feed a dog for a week. So keep any empty cartridges to add to our collect for the charity over the summer months and bring them into school when we are back in September.

School Tour 2017

We went to Clara Lara on our recent school tour. We were lucky with the weather as it was a lovely warm day. 3rd /4th/ 5th and 6th all went together on the tour and had a blast! We got the chance to try out lots of different activities. We were kayaking, rafting, boating, chancing our luck on the rope swing and many more. Have a look at some of the photos of us getting up to lots of fun! As you can see we got really wet but that was all part of the fun of the day!

Monster Invasion

In art class today we were working with clay. We used the pinch pot technique to make some scary and some cute monsters. 


We added on their crazy eyes, horns, tails and ears using a little bit of water to act as a glue. 


We will leave them to dry out over the break and then paint them some crazy colours!










Our monsters are drying out well!
