Thank you to the organisers of Science Blast for their kind invite to the RDS Science Blast exhibition in Kingscourt Community Centre.
As part of Maths Week 2025, our pupils explored the fun and challenge of Sudoku!
Through Sudoku, the children developed their logical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills in a fun, hands-on way. Everyone enjoyed the challenge of completing their puzzles and discovering that Maths can be both exciting and rewarding!
This year has started off in a predictably bustling and busy manner in Killasonna! We finished up for Mid-term with a Halloween Dress Up Day. Things are unlikely to settled down after the midterm so we hope everyone has a restful break so that we’re all ready for a busy few months.
On the 22nd of October, we sculpted Hedgehogs out of clay. They turned out great!
This term, we went to the libary to learn about Biodiversity with Brian Mulvihill.
If you interweave the pages of two 120 page copies, it is virtually impossible to pull them apart! All the touching pages create a surface area of 71, 400 sq cm and the friction created in such a small area is immense.
Ukulele
The Senior Room is enjoying the challenge of learning how to play the Ukulele. At the start of the of the year our teachers set up the activity. We started playing it at the start of the year. Gary is our coach and he teaches us lots of cords and songs. He is a very funny guy and we all are excited when he comes in to our classroom.

This October the 3rd 4th 5th and 6th class made apple tarts. First we picked lots of cooking apples from the apple tree in the play ground. When we got all the apples we brought them inside to start baking!
As part of Science, we have been learning about magnetic fields. Focusing on the concepts of a 'fair test', we devised a procedure to make our own paper clip compass.
We have taken on the challenge of learning how to play Chess and are looking forward to seeing steady progress throughout the year. We may even enter a competition!
