Halloween Parade in Knockskeagh

On the 25th of October, we had our annual Halloween Parade. All the children put in a huge effort. The costumes on display were certainly very creative. Well done to all our prize winners this year and to all who helped them create such magnificent costumes.

We encouraged the use of recycled materials this year as part of the Green Schools program. Our aim was to reduce the use of single-use plastics which was one of the primary objectives of our Green School project.

Well done to all pupils who made a special effort in making their costumes from recycled materials.
