Our Christmas cards turned out great and thanks to the PA for this brilliant idea! The samples of our cards can be found below. Well done to both the Junior and Senior Rooms for their hard work and beautiful designs. Also, a massive thank you to DWM Cards in Roscommon for such a professional and swift service.
As part of 'The Worldwide Day of Children', we were so lucky that Lus na Gréine organised two circus performers (Tyrone and Maria) to come help us learn about and practice circus skills like balancing and juggling. It was very interesting how some children were so co-ordinated and able to learn these skills at ease!
Team Hope Shoebox Appeal
Thank you to all who contributed to this year's annual 'Shoe Box Appeal' ran by Team Hope. It is a very worthy cause and will mean a lot to those in great need. Go raibh míle maith agaibh!
A great team performance saw the Girls crowned League winners this year. We're very grateful to everyone who has helped in putting together an amazing squad of players for both the Mixed and Girls team. It's not luck that creates a crop of players like this, rather it's a long term vision, commitment and fun. Comhghairdeas libh go léir!
Congratulations to the Mixed Team for their performance throughout the league and for their victory in the final against Ballinamuck.
A story comes full circle: Our Past Pupil's book brings joy to the classroom
Pupils and staff were delighted to celebrate the success of past pupil Bríd Reilly White, who has recently published the children’s book 'The Teacher Who Barked At The Dog.'
To mark the occasion, pupils enjoyed listening to 'The Teacher Who Barked At The Dog' together in class. The school hopes that Brid's success will inspire the next generation of young readers and writers in Killasonna.
Maths week 2025
Maths week is in full swing in Killasonna!
A huge well done to all the children from Killasonna who ran their hearts out at the Longford schools XC this evening in Moyne. We had 2 teams- 3rd/4th class girls including Emily and Hannah O’Farrell, Maria Gettings, Emily Sheehan and Keeva Sheridan and a 6th class girls team including Aoibhe and Aisling Farrell, Emily Gettings and Charlotte O’Farrell. Sam Scanlon and Finn Sheridan ran in the 5th/6th class boys race while Jayden McGlynn competed in the 3rd/4th class boys race. Congratulations to our two medalists (first 12 to medal) Jayden McGlynn (a fantastic 2nd place) and Emily Gettings (a very credible 7th place).
We are so blessed to welcome Freya, Lewis and Ciara to school this year. Wishing them and their families 8 years of health and happy memories to come!
