Music
/in 6th Class /by emerbMusic
21/11/17
For the last few weeks Kiltiernan’s N.S the middle and senior rooms have been focusing on the 1960’s music. The songs we are learning are Happy Together by the turtles, California Dreamin by the Mamas and the Papas and with a little help with my friends by the Beatles.
The teachers have been helping us to understand the difference of the 1960’s to the 2000’s. In class Miss picked two girls and two boys to be the mamas and the papas. Then the others do the seconds. During the instrumental section we get to show off our groovy 60’s dancing which we all enjoy and have great fun with. Music days are on Tuesday evenings for around an hour. When we do the 60’s we learnt about the difference in style which is very light and airy for their groovy swaying dance moves.
Another part of music lessons recently involved listening to the music from #MozTheMonster . We have been listening to the song for the past few days.

Science Week
/in 6th Class, What's Happening /by 5ch00lAdm1nScience Week
Science Week runs from the 13th to the 19th of November. We explored many aspects of science including Magnetism and Electricity. The Senior Room took the challenge of electricity while the Middle Room studied fascinating magnets. In our room we learned everything about electricity. We found out a lot of interesting facts.
The teachers came up with a great idea to merge the two types of science. They made up groups containing people from both rooms and half of the groups went to Ms Leech’s room while the rest went to Ms O’ Doherty’s room. Ms O’ Doherty worked on magnets while Ms Leech explored electricity. My group started with electricity.
We learned how to make a basic circuit. This circuit included wires, batteries and a bulb. You get great satisfaction out of getting a lighting bulb! We moved to a more advanced circuit with crocodile clips and bulb holder and of course batteries. After that we made a working switch with thumb tacs, small pieces of wood and paper clips plus your batteries, bulb and holder. It was so cool when it actually worked. There, we were finished for a very interesting day 1.
Moving on… and day 2 commenced. The groups rotated. My group went on to the magnets. We had a lot of fun. We learned about the different types of magnets. For example we saw a bar magnet, a big bar magnet, ball magnet to name a few. We went around the classroom testing were they attracted to the magnet. Not many succeeded but it was very interesting.
Next we did an experiment. We made a structure and we had to see if the compass would make the magnet turn to North and South. We used Jenga bricks as our structure. We used a ruler and a piece of string to help. After all our preparation it worked very well.
To finish a very busy Science Week 2017 we had a visit from Tom Cuffe. He is an origami artist and birdwatcher. He showed us many incredible pieces of art. Some of these pieces took many months to make and was truly amazing. After he showed us a few simple step to make ancient Japanese envelope. We used many folding techniques. You need a lot of patience to do this type of art! Moving on we used small pieces of card to make a cube. We folded card in halves and placed them in a way to make a cube. It was really fun.
I would like to thank the teachers and Tom especially for making this week really fun. I love science and would like to do more. Thank You!

Cross Country Athletics
/in 6th Class, What's Happening /by 5ch00lAdm1nCross country
On the 9th of November, a friday morning, myself, Stephen, David and Paul all were driven by Ms Leech to Renmore Park for cross country athletics. We were wearing our gear and kiltiernan jerseys and were ready for action. I had number 12. We started doing our warm ups- running up and down high knees, slow jogs and stretches.
The junior girls race was first. Orlaith, Lauren, Grainne and Erin were running in this race representing our school. It was followed by junior boys then senior girls and finally senior boys. We all lined up ready to start the race. When the man with the megaphone told us when it was time to go the battery died. We started running. I could see Stephen, David and Paul in front of me. When we finished you had to walk through a line of ropes and have your number taken and told you place. I came 72nd which I guess is better than 73rd. Stephen came first David came second and Paul came approximately 29th. After the race Stephen and David collected some very nice miniature trophies.
On the way back we stopped in Londis and got deli roles but Paul got tasty rashers and chips. When we got back to school Ms Leech said it would be unfair if we went to class so instead we ate them in the staffroom. Kindly Ms Leech asked would we like a cup of tea. We all said yes.
So to sum it we went to cross country collected some silver wear stopped in Londis and had tea with the Principal. I would call that a good day!

Hospice Coffee Morning 2017
/in What's Happening /by 5ch00lAdm1nOn September 15th we had our Annual Coffee Morning in aid of Galway Hospice. We had a great morning and welcomed many old and some new friends to help raise funds for this very worthy charity. As usual our wonderful students (and their parents) supplied an abundance of yummy home baked treats. We were delighted to bake some goodies for Lagan again this year and we’re very grateful to Kate for organising the support of the road workers. We raised €800 for Galway Hospice and we would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who supported this event.
