GAA training takes place every Thursday for our 3rd to 6th classes in our school pitch or courts. 

Our pupils really love the training provided by James McCarthy GDA from Cork GAA. 

Check out a few pictures below of our 6th class in action during another great session today. 

6th Class have been working very hard over the last few weeks, both in and out of the classroom.

They recorded their own song and made a video to accompany it (all while social distancing!) to reflect their feelings on COVID-19.

The video link is below, we really hope you enjoy it 

Thank you to Ms. O’Regan and her sister Sinéad O’Regan for rewriting the song lyrics of this popular song to fit in with COVID-19.

We were delighted to welcome Finny O’Regan from Clonakilty Rugby Club to Knockskeagh recently.

Finny is currently coaching tag rugby to all children from Senior Infants to 6th class.

All classes are being coached individually every Wednesday on our new courts, as well as on our sports field.

All equipment is being sanitised between classes. Thank you Finny for providing a really enjoyable, safe, and fun experience for all our pupils.

Virtual Sports Day 2020

Our Virtual Sports Day was a huge success going by the amazing messages, pictures, and videos that all teachers received over the past week.

Thank you to all parents for sending us some wonderful action-packed pictures and videos of sports activities and for supporting the pupils at home on Sports Day. Also, well done to all children who participated in sporting activities on the day, it looked like you had great fun. 

What follows is a link to a Photo Story including a snapshot of some of the sporting activities that took place in the many households, gardens, parks, and beaches around our locality on the day. 

Enjoy  

Welcome to Knockskeagh National School Sports Day 2020!!!

This is not our typical Sports day!
However, we will still celebrate it in an enjoyable and fun way- interactively!!!

All of our teachers have created some fantastic events for you all to attempt!
Don’t feel as if you have to do all of these!
But, we would encourage you all to attempt some or even do some of your own activities to mark Sports Day 2020!!

If you would like to share any pictures of you doing any activities on Sports Day, you can send on the pictures to your teacher.
These pictures will feature on our school website in the coming week!

Huge thanks must go to all teachers for their input into this years interactive Sports Day, and a special mention must go to Mr. McCarthy for doing a great job in his organisation of Sports Day again this year. Also, we’d like to thank Greg Mulcahy for his support in creating this compilation of videos.

Enjoy the day everybody and don’t forget to have ice cream after!
