Halloween Parade 2021

What a day!! 

Our annual Halloween Parade took place on Friday the 22nd of October this year.  All the children put in a huge effort and it was one we certainly won’t forget.

Our parade took place on our school track this year and it was fantastic entertainment. There was an abundance of creativity, colour and fun on display as each class walked a lap of the track. 

Prizes were awarded to pupils with the best costumes made from recycled material. The judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners.

Huge credit must go to all who helped create such magnificent costumes, the standard was truly amazing. Well done to everybody!

We raised €120 for Pieta House through this fun dress-up walk around the school track this year. Thank you to all who supported this worthy cause.  

We hope all pupils, parents and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.

Happy Halloweensmile

Bike Day 2021

To mark National Bike Week, Ulick O’Beirne from Bike Wizards visited our school to provide cycling lessons to all classes today.

All classes got the opportunity to navigate their way around our playground and school track. They showed great control on their bikes.

While Bike Day was about the children practicing their cycling skills, it also played a very important part in promoting road safety awareness in our school.

Well done everybody on a fun morning of exercise.

Please see our gallery below for a snapshot of some of the cycling on display today.

Bike Week runs between the 12th – 18th September 2021.

Bike Week is a celebration and promotion of all that’s great about bikes and cycling. Held over an extended week each year, with bike-themed events organised by local authorities, community groups, and cycling groups throughout Ireland.

Cycling has much to offer people of every age and ability, so get on your bike and join the fun during this year’s Bike Week or anytime.

Corn GAA Final and Presentation

On Tuesday 22nd of June, the final of the Corn GAA Football Tournament was played.

The Corn tournament involved teams from 6th class playing against each other over the last month.

The top two teams after the group stage games were Carlow and Waterford.

The Corn Final pitted these two teams against each other. The final turned out to be a fantastic match with the result in the balance right up to the last few minutes.

The crowd in attendance was treated to an excellent game with skill, teamwork, and passion in abundance. 

In the end, it was the Carlow team including the wily management duo of Mr. Horgan and Ms. Collins that won the game.

The Waterford team managed by Mrs Canty and Mr O’Callaghan had to settle for 2nd place. However, the Waterford team can be very proud of their performance.

After the final, the Corn Cup was presented by Mr Horgan to the talented captain of the Carlow team Jerry O’Leary.

Well done to Mr. O’Meara for his organisation of the tournament and all staff who assisted in the running of the tournament over the last month.

Please see the gallery below for some pictures from a great day.

Walk Around Europe 

This year all classes took part in a ‘Walk around Europe’. Instead of hopping on a plane and visiting all the countries in the EU, we went on a trip to all the countries around the track in Knockskeagh!

At every stop we learned about the capital of the country, saw a picture of a famous landmark and listened to some interesting facts, and learned how to say “hello” in their native language, which was great fun to practice!
