De Bono’s Thinking Hats

All over the school we learned about Professor De Bono’s thinking hats. 

White: The white thinking hat means the facts stated in front of you, and not opinionated guesses. 

Blue : The blue thinking hat means to use your intellectual intent and think logically about the situation and question the little factors of a scenario. 

Black : the black hat means to take caution when assessing a scenario and to search for all the negatives or downsides to a situation. 

Red : the red thinking hat symbolises feelings and thinking about things concerning the feelings you , or others have on the situation or scenario. 

Yellow: the yellow hat means positivity towards an ad or thing, highlighting the good points about it or the interesting facts that may entice the readers into buying the product, or maybe inspires them to be more positive towards their life in general! 

Green: The green thinking hat displays creativity, and is the hat in which you are given to express your own individual opinion a subject or two.

Camogie Mini 7s!!!

In September 2014 the Killeeneen camogie team, went to Clarinbridge for the mini 7s.The team consisted of Caoimhe Kennedy, Alice McMahon, Megan Anderson, Niamh Niland, Sophia Brennan, Isabelle Coleman and Eve Cloonan. The subs were Eabha Niland, Holly Keogh, Laura Hayes, Fiona Gallaus and Anna Molloy. Ms. Cooney and Ms. O ‘Callaghan were our managers and were assisted by Anna Kilduff on the day.

Firstly we played Oranmore, we won that game 2-5 to no score. Niamh Niland and Sophia Brennan were our scorers in that game. In the 2^nd game we played Ardrahan; unfortunately we lost this game, the score was 3-1 to  0-2. In our last game we played Maree we won that game 2-1 to 1-1 but unfortunately we didn’t win our group. We had a great day and hopefully next year the girls will do us justice.

Carol singing

In December we had lots of fun preparing for our annual carol singing expedition into the Eyre Sq Centre. As part of the preparation we went to visit the 2 local nursing homes and had a lovely day on December 16th singing, chatting and laughing with the residents.

On the 18^th of December 2014, 6th class went to Eyre Square shopping centre Carol singing. We were fundraising for Galway Simon Community. We set out for the city at noon. On the bus we sang songs, told jokes and laughed. All in all we had loads of fun, until we had to go into the shopping centre. It was lashing!

At around 12:45 we reached our destination. We sang for an hour and a half, before we could go shopping. We got loads of sweets and had a massive sugar rush! We sang for another 80 minutes, until we could get our food in burger king. We kept throwing packets of salt at each other and gossiping about our purchases (at least the girls were!) After that it was time to leave. We walked back to the bus and chatted all the way. We were on the bus for at least 30 minutes,by that time we were ready for a last mug of hot chocolate and then a good night’s sleep!
