Well done to our Senior Infants class on their amazing Christmas Nativity play this year.🎭🎵

They performed for parents and grandparents on Tuesday 17th December. They had performed for a dress rehearsal the previous day for all classes in the school and they were a massive success! 🎵

It was a fantastic production and well done to everybody involved in preparing the pupils for their amazing performance. The Senior Infants should be very proud of themselves.

Many of our classes have represented our school by carol singing in a number of local areas recently.

Our 1st and 4th Classes were carol singing outside the Clonakilty Post Office raising money for Cancer Connect.

Our 2nd and 3rd Classes visited Bushmount Nursing Home on Tuesday 17th December and performed for the residents of the Bluebell Ward. 

Well done to all involved in these recitals. You did Knockskeagh proud! 😀

Knockskeagh Art Exhibition 🧑🏻‍🎨

This video is a walk-through of the beautiful art exhibit in our school and gives a small taste of the artwork that has taken place from September to October, 2024.

Our exhibit displays a variety of strands in the Visual Arts curriculum. 🎨

Lucy O and Lucy H from 6th Class presented our art exhibit and I think you’ll agree, they did a fantastic job.

We hope you enjoy it, well done everybody.

African Drumming

Every Tuesday over the last five weeks, each class has engaged in African Drumming workshops.

Building on knowledge and skill from last year, each class have been introduced to basic rhythmic concepts of West African and world percussion through drumming, chanting, body percussion, call and response and storytelling.

Using the West African Djembe (pronounced djem – bay) students assemble in the drum circle.  They connect to rhythm and sound using a variety of percussion instruments, bells and shakers. It really is great fun!!

Everybody used look forward to drumming time each Tuesday. 🥁😀 

Many thanks to Patrick for the fun drumming lessons 👏
