Team Up to Clean Up

Let’s Team Up to Clean Up, Together for Kilkenny - a day of action, for people all over Kilkenny county to take care of their local environment, and collect litter.

The date scheduled for this was 24th March. However, the weather was not in our favour that day, so 5th and 6th class took up their litter pickers and donned their new high-vis jackets, the following week.

Here are some photos of the groups from 5th and 6th class, in action. They Teamed Up to Clean Up along Kilkenny Street, on both sides, with supervision from teachers.

Hug - a - Book and more, at the Library!

The Hug- A - Book project is in collaboration with Kilkenny ETB. There have been weekly sessions for parents in school over the last few months, with Mrs C Kenny.

These photos show some parents with Mrs Kenny, and pupils from the junior classes, enjoying the resources associated with the books from the project.

It looks like great fun for all!

Senior Infants and First Class were treated to Story Time at the Library

5th and 6th class pupils took part in a writing workshop, also at the library

Pancake Tuesday in the Kitchen!

Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent) is the day we all like to get together to whip up some better, fry some pancakes, give them a toss, before plating them up and drizzling them in our favourite toppings.

See how pupils fared here in these pictures: from measuring ingredients and preparing the batter, cooking the pancakes (thanks to Ms Byrne on supervision), preparing toppings, washing up (thanks to Ms McGrath on supervision, here), and even writing about their pancakes. Unbelievably, pupils managed to squeeze in the time to taste their own creations!
