5th Class recently entered a competition for Spar Ireland. This competition was open to Primary and Secondary schools all over the country with schools having to record their own video singing the Spar song.

5th Class sang beautifully and came up with amazing ideas as to what we could do for the video. The video was recorded and put together. We got the amazing news that we were one fo the 10 winners in the whole country and that we have won €1,000!

Well done to all involved, you did Knockskeagh proud! 😀
