We would like to thank Pat and Michael for calling out to our school. They brought out the famous bodhrán that we hear at all the big KK matches. The boys and girls loved chanting along with the bodhrán.

We are delighted to have an athletics coach visit our school every Wednesday for the next six weeks. It is great to see the children so active and enjoying the programme.
St. Kierans NS is currently taking part in an eight week athletics programme. At the start of the programme the pupils undergo time trials and their times are recorded. The pupils then take part in one athletic session a week which involves different types of relays and exercises. At the end of the eight weeks the pupils take the time trials again and hopefully all pupils fitness levels have increased.

Active School Flag
St. Kieran's NS was very proud to receive their second Active Schools Flag. We are one of eleven schools in Co. Offaly to have received an Active School Flag. On Friday the 7th of November we had great excitement in school as the Daverns from Ireland Fittest Family came to visit the school. The Daverns started off by talking to the children about fitness and nutrition and of course the TV show. The children then got the opportunity to ask lots of questions. Everybody then gathered outside for the raising of our Active Schools Flag. The Daverns kindly agreed to play a game of soccer with the children. Everybody had a great day and thanks to the Daverns for coming out to our school.
