Sports Day 2020

Sports Day 2020

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! smile

Knockskeagh – GAA 5 Star Centre

It was with great excitement and delight that we received the ‘GAA Five Star Flag’ as a result of the children’s participation levels in camogie, Gaelic football, and hurling during the school year 2018/19.  We are now recognized as a GAA 5 Star Centre. 

The children have and will again be taking part in Gaelic Games activity in a manner that they will experience fun, friendship, fairness and ultimately improve their fitness.  Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sì.
