Another Day in 5th and 6th..

Hello everyone, we had another busy week in Kilcoskan. 6th class made their confirmation on Wednesday. They did magnificently and I was a very proud teacher! That’s a post for another day however! 5^th class had a great day on Thursday, as they had my full undivided attention without all the confirmation preparation going on! We had a great day. We learned the dance to Up Town Funk; we had drama, PE, art and lots of debates which they love!

We made stained glass windows in art from lasagne sheets. It was fun!

taking over my chair!

very serious card game going on between the three musketeers!

Fun in the Sun in Kilcoskan!

We made the most of the brief sunny spell two weeks ago and took our English lesson outside :)

Shakespeare on a sunny day, simply wonderful.

6th Class hard at work creating bridges;)

Poetry Time!

We were doing lots of poetry this week.  Here we are working on the poem 'Midterm Break' by Seamus Heaney. Each table was given a verse to write and decorate. We almost know it off by heart now!

 

 

The Fire Brigade Visit Kilcoskan!

 The Dublin Fire Brigade very kindly visited Kilcoskan National School today and allowed every class to have a look at the fire engine and have a go with the hose! It was a lovely surprise for us!

A Treat for Table of the Week

The table of the week had a very special surprise, they got to make chocolate houses! They threw in some marshmallows, smarties and coke bottles too. And we made jelly and popcorn. I wonder what treat we'll have next week?!

We created illuminated letters in art, here are samples of Olivia's, Ali's and Ileta's work. More to come next week!

Maths in Kilcoskan

We were learning about percentages this week in school. We planned a barbeque for the end of the year using Aldi leaflets. We all spent different amounts, and had to deduct 20% off as there was a summer sale on. It was great practice for deducting percentages!
