Walk Around Europe

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!

Blue Star Award 2020

This year we attained our third Blue Star Programme award for the school. 

The Blue Star Programme aims to teach primary school pupils about Europe in a fun and creative way. Pupils learn about European cultures and the EU through creative activities and projects. The idea is simple: to foster a better understanding and knowledge of Europe and how it affects the lives of Irish citizens among pupils in a curriculum friendly manner.

Congratulations to all the pupils of Knockskeagh on completing some amazing projects about all different topics related to Europe during the year.

Also well done, and thank you to Ms. Bebhinn Walsh for compiling our application for this award. smile
