We have had lots of fun doing many pieces of winter and Christmas art this month!

Here are some of them- we made gingerbread men and designed a gingerbread village. We also made some air dough decorations for our class tree. We made snowflakes out of paper bags. We also wrote some winter acrostic poems in pairs. We have also written lots of Christmas sentences as Gaeilge using our Gaeilge verbs that we have worked on since September.

Classes also had the opportunity to play the Wellbeing Snail game. Huge thanks to Ms O’Sullivan for organising and a special mention to Ms Power for her artistic ability!

Each year, St Kilian’s pupils submit entries to the Kilnamanagh Credit Union Art Competition. This year’s theme was ‘It’s A Wonderful World’. We’re delighted to share that we had several winners in both the 8-10 and 11-13 age categories!

8-10 age category winners: 1st place went to Jehan and 2nd place to Mya.

11-13 age category winners: 1st place went to Kirstie and 3rd to Evelyn.

Huge congratulations to all, we’re very proud of you!

Ms Costelloe’s 3rd class designed Christmas jumpers just in time for the Late Late Toy Show and also created snowmen during relay races.

During the month of November, several classes took part in the MS Readathon where the objective was to read as many books as possible. Over 860 books were read and €736 was raised in aid of Multiple Sclerosis Ireland. Well done to all involved!
