Living History Project Competitions 2020
Dear pupils and families,
With so much talk of unprecedented times, we would like to gather and compile a written/ historical account outlining what life during Corona virus was like for you the children /families. We would love to compile a book documenting life for our pupils and are calling for pupils to enter our Living History Project.
The Project will open for entries on May 1st and close on May 8th- Full entry details to follow at a later date.
This is a competition project and not compulsory and while there is no formal homework to be given over the scheduled Easter break, you may wish to work on your entry.
There will be 2 prizes per class and entries can be;
$1· A story/Essay.
$1· A diary style account.
$1· Factual or fictional, but based on life during this time.
$1· Mock newspaper style piece.
$1· A Good News style piece.
$1· Poem.
Secondly and separately, there is an art competition with 1 main prize per class.
The Heading is; “Not all Superheroes wear Capes!”
This is a tribute to all the amazing health care staff, frontline workers, gardaí, armed forces and all the staff working in our shops, food supply chains, hauliers, farmers and food producers!
Your art can be;
$1· An A4 sketch, painting or print.
$1· A piece of sculpture/model or Lego creation.
$1· A photographic composition with a caption and description.
Once again we stress that this is not homework and the children need to relax and enjoy the Easter holidays, but we look forward to working together to create a piece of history that we can look back on in years to come.
Wishing you all a very safe and happy Easter,
The Staff of Kildalkey National School.
Students Keeping Busy
Some of our students have been keeping very busy over the last couple of weeks, exercising their artistic and musical talents.
First off, in preparation for St. Patrick's Day, Cam Ly created some beautiful art decorations for her house.
Cam Ly then took time out of her schedule to practise the harp in preparation for the school assembly and her own enjoyment!
Then, Daniel, Grace and Cam Ly came together to play some beautiful Irish music. Take two minutes out of your day to listen to their gorgeous piece!
Well done to Cam Ly, Daniel and Grace, who even ensured to adhere to social distancing while performing! (Note - was taken prior to Friday's lockdown!)

Helpful Links and Resources for Parents
Dear Parents,
Here are a number of helpful resources that may be of benefit to you over the upcoming weeks.
Folens have made their content available to parents. This is a useful website as you can find lots of interactive and extra content to follow on from some of the topics in student’s textbooks. It is particularly good for content in relation to Maths, English and Gaeilge. Log onto to Folensonline.ie. Register as a teacher and use the roll number: PRIM20 to create an account.
Twinkl have also made all their resources free to use and have excellent activities, worksheets and timetables that could be of use. They are offering all parents a One Month Free Membership which will allow parents access to resources related to all curriculum areas. Just go to www.twinkl.ie/offer and enter the code IRLTWINKLHELPS.
The NCSE have created different resource sheets for children with SEN please visit the website here - https://ncse.ie/online-resources.
Another good resource is https://www.mindheart.co/descargables which has created a booklet for children under the age of 7 aiming to support and reassure them regarding COVID-19.
We hope this is of benefit to you and your children.
