Wild school
We have been using logs, sticks and other natural objects to build huts during playtime. We have been working together to achieve this and know that we are so lucky to have so much nature around us.
Art club
Art Club is a place where the children get a chance to try out new things. We work individually, in pairs and altogether, and use a wide variety of media. We love to listen to music as we work!
The children are enjoying Art club, we have worked with rubber cement, watercolours and oil pastels already!
October
Halloween at Kilshanroe!
We are always amazed at the imagination and creativity displayed by the children and their parents when making costumes from scratch, and this year was no exception. Many thanks to everyone for making it such a fun day!
Paddy Madden visit
The brilliant Nature Educator, Paddy Madden came to our school again to speak to the children about a wide variety of subjects: dinosaurs, fossils, plants and animals and insects. He was able to give us invaluable advice regarding the development of our outdoor area.
Bee bomb project
This is a whole school project and has taken on a life of it’s own! The children saved seeds from our wildflower garden. We then allowed them to dry out completely and made bee bombs from them – each child went home with one for home. We are also making seed packets to sell at the Christmas Craft Fair. Any money made will go into developing our garden further.
Anna in 5th class is a talented artist and designed the seed packets, along with Ray (6th) and Tommy. (5th) We will post some pictures soon to show you how well they look.
Basketball match
The children teamed up with staff members to play in a basketball tournament. It was a very exciting series of games, and the red team won after a hard-fought battle in the finals.
