Well done to everyone who took part in Walk to School Week 2024. This initiative is in conjunction with Green Schools to promote active, sustainable travel on the journey to school. There was a great turn out this week and we are so proud of all of the boys and girls who walked to school! Well done!

We are delighted to participate in An Taisce's 'Bike to School Week' again this year. Pupils from all classes walked, scooted and cycled to school. Well done to everyone who took part!

I am delighted to announce that Kilcornan National School has been awarded its 11th Green Flag from An Taisce! Massive congratulations to the Green Schools committee for all of their hard work. We are so proud to be a green school and look forward to receiving our new flag!

The Green Schools Committee worked very hard to organise fun activities for all of the classes for Biodiversity Week.

On Monday, Juniors, Seniors and First planted sunflower seeds. They are all very excited to watch the sunflowers grow in their classrooms and are keeping a close eye on them!

On Tuesday, Second Class helped prepare our garden for planting vegetables. Together with the Green Schools Committee, the boys and girls planted a variety of different vegetables and herbs including french beans, spinach, turnip, carrots, cress and lots more!

On Wednesday, Fifth and Sixth planted beautiful flowers in our window boxes which are on display at the front of the school.

To end Biodiversity Week, Third and Fourth Class learned all about bird feeders and even got to make their own! Third Class also completed projects on plant and animal adaptions! The Green Schools Committee were also treated to ice lollies on Friday as a thank you for all of their hard work during the week! Well done to the Green Schools Committee for organising a fantastic week again this year!
