Thanks to the efforts of our Green School Committee we recently were awarded a new bicycle hub, where our pupils can park their bicycles during the day. In order to create a really great ‘bike hub’ we ran a competition to create a design for the wall of our bike hub. Two of our winners were from third class and you can see them hard at work painting their design onto the wall – see if you recognise us!!

On Monday, a number of our very talented third class pupils participated in the Holy Child Secondary School Talent Show. The talent on display was fantastic but our third class pupils were truly remarkable for a number of reasons. Firstly, they were the youngest contestants, secondly they were exceptionally brave to perform in front of over two hundred people and finally, and most importantly, they were absolutely awesome!! We listened to a great songs, such as ‘Counting Stars’, ‘Roar’, ‘Someone Like You’ and ‘Move’. Here are a couple of snaps of our star performers in action – and again, all at St. Kevin’s are exceptionally proud of these guys!!

Here is a short video of our Christmas Assembly. You can see snaps from ‘Christmas spells Christmas by our Junior Infants, simply superb singing from our Senior Infants, ‘The Sleepy Shepard’ from First Class and a wonderful choral performance from us, the  singing scholars in Third and Fourth Class as we perform a number of classic Christmas songs! We hope you enjoy!! Click on the link to see all the action!

We looked at ‘Report Writing’ with our teacher Mrs. O’ Rourke. Report writing is in newspapers, match programmes, even our teacher writes reports at the end of the year (about how good we were!). Report writing is usually about writing what happened, at a certain place, at a certain time. My report is about the first man on the moon, I have called it ‘Walk on the Moon’. I wrote about the first men to walk on the moon, when they came out of their spaceship and the things they said. My report was so great it was published in the Irish Times!

We recently visited the home of Glanmore Foods, where we discovered how the healthiest of lunches are created. The trip was great, especially as we were dressed like St. Kevin’s Magnificent Minions. Clink on the link below to see some of us super scholars recreated as magnificent minions on the factory floor!!

This week the super scholars of St. Kevin’s sprung into action for our annual Spring Clean, which is led by the great Green School Committee. All the boys and girls were committed to their cleaning on the day, and they did a smashing Spring clean of our yards, basketball courts, football pitches and gardens. At the end of the day our school looked like it had been sponged, scoured and scrubbed, and it looked super slick. So our thanks to our scholars for a superb Spring Clean!!
