Pro 12 Visit
On the 21st June Gort Rugby Club came in to show our school the Pro 12 Trophy. Connacht won the trophy in Edinburgh by beating Glasgow Warriors. We all went to the halla to see it. We talked about our favourite players. The trophy weighed 15 KG. I got to hold it after we talked to the people that brought it. It didn’t feel as heavy as I thought it would be .We got a picture with the trophy. I loved the day!
Come on Connacht

ICE- CREAM DAY
On the 23rd of June it was Ice-Cream Day at Kiltiernan. Ena and a lady called Margaret came and made the ice creams. We got vanilla ice cream with wafers. It was to raise money for Down syndrome Ireland. It only costed 2 euro. The ice – cream was delicious. I love ice cream day. And now I can tell you that I had a second ice-cream! I couldn’t tell anyone on the day. Ha Ha!

Sports day 2016
On the 10th of June 2016 we had our annual sports day. To start off we had the sprint. It was from one goals to the other. Junior Infants – 6th class took part in every race during the day. We also had the long distance race which was a little bit harder because we had to run three laps around the pitch. We were puffed out after that one!
The three legged race wasn’t as hard but it was much funnier because people kept falling over. Sixth class went as one huge 9 legged team but half way through they all fell over. Sadly half way through the day it started raining. That didn’t stop us but we had to abandon the wheel barrow race and the piggy back race and replaced them with a penalty shootout. Everyone got a shot.
The junior and senior infants played with the hoola hoops and with an obstacle course on the small pitch. It was a great day for everyone and I can’t wait for next year!

School Athletics Dangan 2016
On the 24th of May some of children from Kiltiernan School were excited because we were going to the Dangan for the County School Athletics. We all arrived in Dangan at 9.30am. We started with a warm up. The first event was the U9 400 metres. Iarla won his heat and got through to the final. Next up was the U11 400 metres. Stephen got through to the final.
After the middle distance heats were the sprints. Orlaith was running first. She got through to the semi-finals. So did David and Abbie. Sean C, John and Sean S were unlucky not to get out of their heats.
Later was the U9 400 metres final. Iarla ran very well but didn’t feature in the medals. Next came the U11 400 metres. Stephen ran a super race and won a gold medal! Well done Stephen!
Now it was time for the sprint semi-finals. Abbie, David and Orlaith got to the final. Then it was the finals time. First Orlaith won gold, next David won gold. Subsequently Abbie won a silver medal. We were all very proud of our achievements! We all really enjoyed our day at Dangan and we were all justifiably proud of our performances.
