Enrich Tour

The fourth, fifth and sixth classes recently had the luck to be invited out to see the Enrich plant in Kilcock!

Wjem there, they met with Dale who showed them the different bugs and insects in that area.

Next, he showed them how they shape and dry the timber and then how the compost is made fertile.

Lastly, Natasha took the classes on a tour of the local woods, explaining about diversity and playing a few well chosen games!

Thanks again to Dale, Natasha and Enrich for organising and running the event!

Sports Day 2018

Sports Day was held this year on the 31st of May.

The school was blessed with warm weather for the day and each class enjoyed several sporting activities, such as races, bouncing castles, obstacles courses, parachutes, long jumps, among many other activities!

Ice-cream and face painting was provided by the Parents' Association and volunteers - many thanks!

Everyone had a great, if exhausting, day - well done to all!

County Representatives 2018

Kildalkey N.S. has been very well represented lately on sporting fields by its students, who have represented Meath!

First, Jamie and Ben played on a representative Cumann na mBunscol team against a representative team from Louth. The boys won all their matches, putting in some fine performances!

Jame then represented Meath in a half time exhibition match between Longford and Meath!

Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls had their own representatives!

First, Caoimhe played on a Meath Cumann na mBunscol team who played in an intercounty football blitz in St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra - and won it!

Finally, Grace and Leah played on the Meath Cumann na mBunscol representative team that participated in the camogie blitz in Portlaoise. They also did extremely well, defeating Laois, Kildare and Dublin.

Well done to all our GAA stars - we are very proud of them!
