We’re delighted to announce that Kilcornan NS has received the Curious Minds Gold Award for all our hard work in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths this year!
From growing gummy bears in Senior Infants, to building helicopters in 3rd Class, to creating and testing for CO₂ in 5th & 6th Class, our pupils have shown incredible curiosity, creativity and teamwork.
A huge well done to everyone involved — it was a fantastic team effort across the whole school! 👏
Take a look to see some of our STEAM highlights from the year!
As this school year comes to a close we have had an action packed last term. On Tuesday 17th June we went on our school tour to Nevsail in Limerick City where we had a fun day full to the brim of kayaking, archery and games. We had super fun at the Marathon Relay and the ice cream went down a treat! In May, 3rd class had a hurling blitz in Ballingarry where we showed off our great skills. Our school garden is in full bloom. In science we made slime. For active school week we played table tennis and did dox aerobics. Overall it has been a great year of learning and fun. Have a safe summer everyone.
As we come to the end of another fantastic school year, here are some of the highlights from 1st Class this term.
In Maths, we focused on practical, hands-on topics such as weight, time, and capacity. The children really enjoyed exploring these concepts through fun and interactive activities.
In English, we began our next reader, Dance Shoes for GG. The children were captivated by the new adventures of the characters and looked forward to reading each page and the activities that followed.
In Gaeilge, our interactive topics—siopadóireacht (shopping) and teilifís (television)—were a big hit with the class. The children enjoyed engaging with the language through games and conversations.
As part of our SESE (Small World) programme, we explored exciting topics such as Irish birds, Irish wildflowers, and the season of summer. The students showed great curiosity and enthusiasm throughout.
We also had some very special events this term. Our school tour in June took us to the University of Limerick for the Adventure World Camp—a day filled with obstacle courses, inflatables, and energetic games that the children thoroughly enjoyed.
Another standout day was our Marathon Relay, where every child took part and gave it their all. It was wonderful to see such great teamwork, determination, and school spirit.
A heartfelt thank you to all the parents for your continued support throughout the year. I want wish you all a safe, happy, and relaxing summer!
It has been a very busy term here in Second class. We had lots of exciting events. One of the highlight was receiving our First Holy Communion. We had a lovely mass a party afterwards. Thanks to Helen for our personalised cups and Aaron’s granny and knitting club for our dolls.
We took part in Food Dudes this term. We all made a super effort to try new fruits and vegetables. This was lots of fun.
We loved the Skip to Europe challenge. Our skipping skills improved greatly and we lost count with how many countries we made it to! We also took part in the PAWS water safety programme.
We had great fun completing the Marathon Relay. We each ran two laps. We also enjoyed a yummy ice cream after all our running efforts!
We had a great school tour day out. We went to Adventure World in U.L. This was so much fun and we did lots of activities with all our friends.
In Maths we worked very hard on problem solving and loved completing lots of open- ended tasks and comparing our solutions with the rest of the class.
In Literacy, we completed procedural writing and made a class recipe book. We all had different dishes and enjoyed reading each others.
Thank you to Catherine and Linda for all your help with us this year. We are looking forward to a well earned summer break and we cannot believe that we are going into Third class! Slán go foil!
