Mini Sevens Finalists

Camogie teams first match

The first camogie match of the season took place the 5^th of May 2017 in St. Laurence’s G.A.A pitch. We played Kilmeath and beat them 2-1 to 0-0. Roisin Cahill scored our point and Sophie Ngai scored our two goals! Everybody played great on the day, the backs blocked every ball, midfield covered a lot of ground and the forwards made some great passes. The captain on the day was Aideen Farrell. All girls gave it 100% and we look forward to our next match.

Mr Glynn's 5th Class Garden in a jar

                           Mr Glynn's 5th Class Garden in a jar

Our class broke into small groups and we created our very own garden in a jar. Each group had a jar and we placed rocks at the bottom. After that we put compost over the rocks, then we put some water in.          
                                                             Materials Needed

• A Jar
• Pebbles
• Compost
• Pencil
• Leaves/Plants

First you put the pebbles into the jar. Then you put the compost in over the rocks. After that you put the plant in. Then you close the lid of the jar. Leave the jar beside a window over a few days. After a few days see if your flowers have grown.

Everybody's gardens grew flowers over the few days.Overall the gardens were really fun to make and I think that everybody was delighted with their gardens.

Drugs Awareness

Drugs Awareness

On  Monday Garda Dave Prendergast came into the three sixth classes and taught us about Drug and alcohol awareness.

He explained to us that people take drugs to experiment , peer pressure and because of their curiosity.

There are three categories of drugs these include;

Stimulants (Uppers)

  Depressants ( Downers)

Hallucinogens (Makes you see things that aren't there)

Ultimately the effects of these drugs can be disastrous and even lead to death!

So please use your brain and never take drugs

Internet

Soccer Blitz

Our Soccer Blitz Teams

The FAI Primary Schools Futsal South Kildare 5-a-side blitz for boys and girls from 4th & 5th classes born in 2006 or after was held in Kilcullen Community complex on Thursday December 1st. There were 5 schools participating in total including Moone, Scoil Diarmada (Castledermot), Scoil Phadraig Naofa (Athy), St.Peter’s (Monasterevin) and ourselves.

We had 2 teams participating in both the boys and girls competitions, a team of “All-Blacks” and a team of “All-Whites”.

Our “All-Black” girls team were unbeaten on the day, drawing all 3 of their games and had a great battle drawing 1-1 in the final game of the day with their “All-White” counterparts, who finished very strongly after a tough start to the competition. The Moone girls team came out on top of the girls competition winning out on goal difference in the end.

Our “All-White” boys team had a tough start to the competition and despite some tough defeats and a couple of very narrow defeats, they finished very strongly winning their last game on a 4-0 scoreline. They can also take credit from the fact that they gave our “All-Black” boys team their toughest and closest game of the day.

The “All-Black” boys started the tournament on fire winning 7-0 in their first game. They went on to win all of their games beating St.Peter’s of Monasterevin 4-0 in their last game of the day in what was effectively a final shootout as St.Peter’s had also won all of their games up to that point. They combined extremely well with excellent 1 and 2 touch play and teamwork throughout scoring 26 goals in total in their 5 games and conceding only 1 on their way to a fantastic victory in the boys competition. In doing so, these boys made history as the first Scoil Bhride team to ever win a soccer tournament.

All teams must be complemented on their fantastic attitudes throughout the day as they played with tremendous commitment, enthusiasm and desire representing their school with great pride and distinction.

Squads:

Kilcullen All-White Girls: Hope Ormond, Saoirse O’Brien, Zara Hurley, Leah Tyrell, Caitlin O’Sullivan, Jenna Hegarty, Allie McCann, Kate Ryan, Kalina Slattery, Anna Taylor

Kilcullen All-Black Girls: Abbey MacNamara, Kiera Legg, Amy Tyrell, Emily Larrigan, Rebecca MCaffrey, Lauren de Courcy, Megan Bawn, Aine Browne, Billie Barrett, Hanna Corrigan
