Daffodil Day 2021

Daffodil Day 2021

Daffodil Day 2021

Today, the Irish Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day Fundraiser took place in school.

All children were invited to wear yellow or orange on the day. Also, this year we decided to take on the challenge of running 100k around our track.

We’d like to thank everybody for their generous donations to this  very worthy cause. We raised a total of 1740 euro during the day, which truly is an amazing result.

As Daffodil Day coincided with the day of our Easter Holidays, we even had a visit from the Easter Bunny who generously gave Easter Eggs to all pupils of our school.

The Easter Bunny and his very able helpers provided great fun and laughter in all the classes. Thank you kindly for your visit.

Check out the gallery below for a snapshot of our Daffodil Day fundraiser including our dash around the track and the Easter Bunny visit 🌻

Fitness Friday

Fitness Fridays at Knockskeagh have proved a great hit in our school recently since our return to in school education smile

Every Friday our school has a whole school policy providing and promoting exercise on a Friday. We’ve adopted the name “Fitness Fridays”.

During lunchtime, we play music throughout the school using our new speakers to encourage the dance strand.

Also, each pupil walks or runs a mile using our track during various times of the day.

We encourage exercise and outdoor activity on Friday as much as possible on “Fitness Fridays”.

Just another reason why Fridays are our favourite day of the week in Knockskeagh 😊
