Step Two: Technology

IPads

Our school uses iPads for two classes per week per class group from Junior Infants to 6th class!
Each class uses the IPads to; access information for project work, access an abundance of different programs or play educational games.
They really are a fantastic resource!!

 

Use of Online Resources

Our school adopted a number of online platforms to stay connected with pupils and parents during the lockdown period. Class teachers connected with pupils and parents using e-mail and online platforms such as Google classroom, SeeSaw, and Class Dojo.

Many classes completed various weekly SESE projects using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.

Also, some classes used Kahoot to complete a weekly quiz during the lockdown period.

Knockskeagh General Election

We held our very own general election in February 2020 this year.
Each 6th class member was assigned a candidate in the Cork South West general election.
The morning begun with all 6th class canvassing the school yard!

Then they moved onto their speeches in the school hall where they outlined their own and their parties manifestos!(a lot of homework off and pizza parties were promised).

All classes from first to sixth class then voted!
Afterwards led by Mrs Beechinor , 6th class tallied and counted the votes! Here their Maths skills were put to the test!!

The quota was 49 votes to get elected!

After the second vote Holly Cairns – Roisin Duggan and Christopher O Sullivan -David Harte got the Quota and were elected!

On the third count Paul Hayes – Ben Coffey and Joseph Allen got elected!

All 6th class did really well!

The 6th class had a fantastic day and were able to see first hand how the electoral system works from canvassing to the vote count!

Well done to all involved!

Wellness Month

We had a Wellness Month last December where pupils from all classes reflected on positive things in their lives as part of their homework.  Each class reduced written homework and in its place children reflected on their day in their gratitude journals. Other classes were encouraged to chat with the family at home as part of the month. This led to open family discussions around questions like;

  • What makes us happy?
  • What did we do well today?
  • How were we kind today?

As well as this, each class had an ‘Advent Act of Kindness’ calendar, from which tasks were assigned each day; we encouraged family discussions around this too. Our Wellness month proved to be great success and fantastic fun too!!

Knockskeagh Christmas Carol Karaoke

As is tradition on our final day before the Christmas holidays, all classes assembled in the school hall for our annual Christmas Carol Karaoke. This is always a very special performance and this year’s version did not disappoint.
This year our 3rd class brilliantly sang and danced ‘Dominick the Donkey’ as part of the show to great excitement by all classes.
Also as the children returned to their classes via the schoolyard, it even began to snow.
We’d like to wish all pupils, staff and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the holidays.

4th Class perform for Care Choice residents

On the 19th of December 2019, our 4th class boys and girls paid Care Choice nursing home a visit and performed Christmas Carols for all residents.

Prior to the visit, the class had designed Christmas cards for each resident which they were able to hand-deliver on the day.

The class performed the carols amazingly well and should be very proud of themselves.  One resident said, “It has made my Christmas”. Thank you, 4th class, for spreading the Christmas spirit.
