On Thursday the 14th of November, Cork County Mayor Cllr. Christopher O’Sullivan visited Knockskeagh National School as part of Science Week 2019.
The theme for Science Week was Climate Change. Mayor O’Sullivan spoke about all that we can do to limit our ‘carbon footprint’.
He congratulated us on; our Green Schools Flag, the development of our school garden and many of the activities raising awareness on Climate Change in our school.
One of our many activities for this years Science week was our tree planting initiative. During his visit, Mayor O’Sullivan planted a tree to add to the others planted by each class.
We were also grateful that Mayor O’Sullivan officially opened our newly developed walking track. Thank you Mayor O’Sullivan for your hugely inspiring and fun visit.
