We wrote a book and drew our own drawings and wrote about the author or a dedication to our mum or dad and maybe a brother or sister.

KATE.

Write a book is good to get your mind with wonderful ideas. It is like you are a mini author when you finish your book it feels good you don’t have to be good at anything to write a book it is fun to write a book. It does not matter if you do not win it is about taking part it was nice the way you could dedicate. I loved writing my book it was really fun to write it I would love to do it over and over it was that fun you could express your mind. My book was called “The one who survived” probably everybody has a good book.

ESME.

It was fun to do the books it took a lot of effort and hard work but it was worth it in the end. When you see your result you are VERY proud of what you did. My book is called

“Mimi’ s adventure” because it is a true story about my cat when she was little but you will have to read to find out.

Attention all parents the much anticipated play – “Grease” will take place in the college hall on Tues, Wed and Thurs nights of this week.

Tickets for the show are on sale in the main school foyer each morning – come early as unfortunately Thurs night is already sold out!!! There are seat available for Tues and Wed nights. Tickets are priced at  Adults €10 Children €5

This year  Gillian and her team have worked really hard and this play promises to be a spectacular event – Don’t miss it!!!

On Friday 29th January, third class led an assembly on the theme of helping others. This came at the end of a week when almost €1000 was raised for the people of Haiti. The money raised had been an initiative by third and fifth class pupils and included cake sales, a quiz, “ice the bun” and selling of bracelets.

Third class used the Parable of the Good Samaritan as the Bible theme for the assembly which included prayers, hymns and a K.P.S. interpretation of the Biblical theme. We were particularly pleased to welcome Canon McEndoo to our assembly who spoke to the children and closed in prayer. The pupils had prepared media reports on the earthquake in Haiti as aids to our thoughts.

Well done third class and thanks to everyone for supporting the fund raising.

The cake sale well under way!

It’s been a busy week here in KPS but we are all delighted that things are getting back to normal. Some classes decided to have small fundraisers for Haiti – these included quizzes, hat displays a cake sale and sponsored treats in the staffroom! So far we have raised about €675 and there is still one event to take place. The school are also going to have a special assembly for Haiti this week in school. Thanks to all who were involved in donating, baking and giving up your time. These are difficult times and your genorisity is much apreciated. It also teaches our children great values for the future.

To the learners and teachers of Qingqqa Mntwana, we wish you a happy and successful 2010 from all the students and teachers at Kildare Place.

:)

We had lots of snow during last week and our Government decided that it would be a good idea to close all the schools in the country until the snow melted. But the students at Kildare Place like school so much that they attended classes anyway!  No sooner had we come back we then had real problems with our water!! This new term has really been quite an adventure!! -We hope you have a great year and that we all stay in touch – we are looking forward to skyping you all soon!!
