Junior Entrepreneur Programme

Each group presented their project to a group of Dragons, who chose the project ‘Picture Perfect’ for the whole class to work on. The children had been busy researching and sourcing materials, gathering orders and producing their frames.

Unfortunately, they were not able to complete all the orders they had received before the school closed unexpectedly, but did manage to make lots of beautiful frames – have a look at some of their work. Well done everyone!

Dear Parents,

We hope you and your families are all keeping well.

We now know that schools will not reopen until the new academic year.  We all look forward to the day when we will be back together in Killeshandra N.S.

Please be assured that we the teachers are here to support you all.  We always reply to the emails as soon as we see them.  We are also more than happy to chat to you or the children on the phone if you so wish. Please just ask and we will arrange a time.

We are very aware of the disappointment that our 6^th class are feeling.  These last few weeks in primary school are special and also a time when we would have been engaging in all our end of year activities.  When the time is right, we promise that we will arrange an opportunity for our current 6^th class to have an end of year celebration.  It might be months from now but we will mark this occasion for them.

We love to get the photos you send through on the school email. Please feel free to send these at any stage and we will put them up on the website.

Yours sincerely,

All the staff of Killeshandra N.S. (C. of I.)

Active HOME Week

Active School Flag have provided some information about this week: https://killeshandranscoi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Info.-Document-for-PARENTS-Schools-Working-Towards-ASF.pdf

Active School Flag have also made a Challenge Chart for families to complete. You can either fill in the details on this chart and email it back to the school at the end of the week, or print/draw your own chart and fill it in, then bring the completed chart back into school when we return. https://killeshandranscoi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/CHALLENGE-Chart-Schools-Working-Towards-ASF-Fillable-PDF.pdf

You are encouraged to be active for at least 60 minutes per day, and to try at least 4 activities a day. Active School Flag have put together some ideas here https://killeshandranscoi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/3.-IDEAS-Word-Cloud.pdf, or have a look back at some of the ideas we suggested on the website before Easter. You might like to:

• see how many places in Ireland you can run to in the ‘Run Around Ireland’ challenge
• design an obstacle course in your garden
• make up a dance routine or have a ‘dance-off’ with someone in your family
• work on your football skills and tricks or challenge someone to a penalty shoot out
• do ‘PE with Joe’ every day
• do anything you want to have fun and stay fit and healthy!

We would love you to take photographs of Active HOME Week and email them to the school. We will share these here on the website next week – we can still be an Active School, even when we are not together!

Thank you to Daisy who sent us a fantastic poem she wrote about Covid 19. It was published in this week’s Anglo Celt! Great work, Daisy!

We look forward to seeing some pictures of your Viking construction projects – we will post as many of these as we can next week.

Hello boys and girls!

As you begin the first week of your Easter holidays, we hope that you will take a break from your school work. Well done to you and your families for all your efforts to complete as much work as you were able for. We know it can be difficult to get motivated to do school work at home but we are very proud of you for trying your best to engage with it. Please thank your parents for all the time they have spent working with you at home.

We don’t know if we will be back to school on Monday 20^th April. We have to wait for an announcement from the Taoiseach. In case we are not back on Monday 20^th April we are going to work on some plans over our Easter holidays to prepare for this.

Those of you who have been watching the RTÉ Home School Hub will be glad to hear that it is continuing over the Easter holidays. It is on RTÉ 2 each week day from 11am to 12noon. As well as this check out some of the fun Easter activities on Twinkl https://www.twinkl.ie/. Type ‘Easter Activities’ into the search bar at the top of the webpage and you will find art and craft ideas, colouring, crosswords, word searches and lots more!

We have included a game which you might also enjoy playing with your family.  It is a ‘Chicken Licken Drive’! It is similar to the ‘Reindeer Drive’ which we have played before in school at Christmas time. We have included some instructions (see the two links below this note).

We wish you all a very Happy Easter and please keep safe.

With our very best wishes,

Mrs Richardson, Mrs Sweeney, Miss Graham, Mrs Patterson and Ms Gregg
