Crinniú na nÓg
Crinniú na nÓg – On June 7th, Ireland celebrated a national day of free creativity for children – Crinniú na nÓg.
This is an initiative that enables the creative potential of children and young people. 👪 We celebrated free creativity in Knockskeagh on Friday 6th June, and WOW! 😍 What amazing talented children we have amongst us! 🌟 They showed a wide range of creative skills, such as singing 🎤, dancing 💃🏼, Lego building 🏛, DIY skills ⚒️, art creations 🎨, gymnastics 🤸‍♀️, drama 🎭, science experiments 🔬 and so much more!
It was lovely to see children come together and share ideas of what they could do, plan out how they were going to do it, and then complete the task. It was also fantastic to see individual children have the confidence to show their creative side on their own, as they took on a solo adventure.
Well done to all involved! 👏🏼 The gallery below displays a snapshot of the colour and creativity on display.

School Show 2025 – Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

Wow! 🎭 What an amazing 2 shows we had in Rossmore Hall on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd April. This year, our whole school show was “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” 🍫 and the cast and crew were absolutely out of this world!  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Classes have been busy over the last few weeks rehearsing and all this hard work definitely showed during both performances. They absolutely nailed all aspects of the show, including the acting, singing and dancing and without a doubt, there is a bright future in showbiz for those who want it! 🎭

On both nights, staff and audience members were treated to two unbelievable performances and we couldn’t be more proud of the pupils. 💗

The performance was recorded both nights by Greg Mulcahy and once the final editing has been completed, we hope to take 6th class to the Park Cinema for a special screening. We are all looking forward to seeing the finished product and details of how the recording can be accessed will be forwarded when available. We are also very grateful to Mark Coombes for once again photographing the performance and we look at forward to seeing the shots that were captured backstage! 📸

We would also like to send a massive thank you to the Hall committee in Rossmore who were excellent in answering any questions we had. As always, this year’s production has been a real team effort with 6th class pupils and staff putting in trojan work. Huge thanks to everyone for their hard work and well done! 👏🏻
