Blooket Time
On Friday 12th December, the Tech Team held their very first Blooket style quiz. It went down a treat and all classes got to participate at some point of the day. The theme was Christmas inspired to tie in with our Annual Advent Calendar which also featured spot prizes for members of staff on that day. Fourth class girls Ellie, Zoe, Aanvi & Cara ably presented the quiz to the junior classes through the medium of Kahoot. They even sang everyone out with a lively version of Jingle Bells!! Andrea & Sophie then took on the task of presenting to 3rd-6th classes. They too, were excellent! Well done to all.
Earlier this month, pupils from 4th, 5th & 6th classes were asked to write a letter of application to state reasons why they felt they should be given a position on this year’s “Tech Team”. There were superb entries but in the end, here are the worthy winners.

Meet out new “Tech Team”
There was great news for Cloonakilla Ns this term when we were announced as recipients of a €1000 grant from RISE in partnership with National Broadband Ireland. This will give us a valuable boost to investing in new technology. The RISE Community Fund , established by NBI Chairman David McCourt , has already supported over 140 rural organisations nationwide, empowering communities with the tools they need to thrive in the digital age. We had a very exciting morning on March 25th before heading off to sing at our school’s Confirmation. 5th class and members of our Tech Team got to meet with David McCourt and his team for photos and videos for the press release. The pupils were naturals and took it all in their strides! We look forward to purchasing two tablets to provide audio books and a C Pen to enable those with reading difficulties to access text easily.
Meet our fantastic Tech Team ! They assist and are responsible for the smooth running of our laptops and iPads. They are all so helpful and enthusiastic. We are so grateful to them for carrying out their duties.
In September, pupils interested in joining the IT or now better known as the Tech Team wrote letters of application stating why they should be on the team. They were encouraged to demonstrate key characteristics needed to work as part of a team. Their role is to help out in the daily monitoring of laptops and iPads throughout the school. They are very helpful and responsible when carrying out duties.
