World Book Day

Knockskeagh was filled with all sorts of wonderful characters from the world of books on Thursday 2nd of March. 

As the saying goes, “Every book is a passport to a different world” and our pupils experienced some magical moments during our reading activity this year.

Our senior class pupils read a book for junior class pupils this year. Our classes were paired up as follows,  3rd Class pupils with Junior Infants, 4th Class with Senior Infants, 5th Class with 1st Class, and 6th Class with 2nd Class. This is always a lovely activity and pupils had great fun!!

The gallery below displays a snapshot of the colour and creativity on display.

Wellness Week 2023

Wellness Week 2023

Wellness activities this week aimed to create an awareness of each other’s unique strengths and what makes us very special.

The slogan adopted for the week’s activities was “We are each unique and beautiful but together we are a masterpiece”.

Some of the activities engaged in included, mindful moments, active breaks, morning shake-ups, mindful art,  yoga, and a talent show.

These activities were arranged by our Wellness Committee. Well done guys and thank you to everybody who contributed to this lovely week.

Wellness Week Activities

Mindful Moments

Each class agreed on a time for daily meditation. We have found it really is nice to take time for ourselves sometimes.

Feel Good Dance

We danced during lunchtime to feel-good music from our two speakers. It was great fun  😊

Drop Everything and Colour (DEAC)

On Monday afternoon, we engaged in some mindful colouring in each class.

Hand Print Whole School Art “We are each unique and beautiful but together we are a masterpiece”

Each pupil decorated a hand print in their own unique way. The handprints created will be part of a whole school collaborative art piece. The objective was to attempt to get each pupil to focus on their unique qualities and what makes each one of them so special.

Morning Shake-Up

The sixth class pupils and our Amber Flag reps directed exercise sessions with school pupils on two mornings during Wellness week.

Yoga and Zumba

All classes engaged with Yoga and Zumba in our school hall during Wellness Week. Thank you Mrs. Russell and Flavia.

Talent Show

Each class had its own Talent Show to recognize each pupil’s unique talents. We were treated to some amazing performances and skills in each show. Well done to all pupils, you truly are a very talented bunch indeed 😀👏
