Bike Day

by knockskeaghadmin | May 7, 2024 | Active flag, Green Schools Award, News

Bike Day

Bike Day 2024

Ulick of Bike Wizards helped to teach our pupils from Junior Infants to 3rd Class cycling skills today.

The classes loved the challenges that Ulick set in each lesson. They learned about balance, braking, and turning skills 🚴‍♀️

There were a few pupils who cycled without the aid of stabilisers for the very first time which was excellent to hear and witness.

Others in the more junior classes focussed on balance bike work and teachers commented on how competence improved over the session.

We were delighted to receive funding for this bike event from Cork Sports Partnership on behalf of Cork County and City Councils.

Thank you so much to Ulick for his fun and invaluable advice and to all parents who supported us by bringing in pupils’ bicycles.

Clonakilty Historical Walking Tour

Clonakilty Walking Historical Tour 🚶🏻‍♂️

On Monday 22nd April, 5th Class went on a historical walking tour of Clonakilty. They heard so many fascinating stories about different parts of the town and they were amazed with some of the facts they learned.

The weather was amazing and it was a fantastic day out. A massive thank you to Fachtna who was a wealth of knowledge and he told us all those informative stories!

FAI Soccer 2024

FAI Soccer 2024

Our school soccer teams competed in the FAI Primary 5 a-side County Qualifiers recently.

Both our girls and boys’ teams played really well in the tournament.

All teams’ efforts were rewarded with positive results in the group stages.

Unfortunately, both girls teams narrowly missed out on progression to the next stage of the competition.

However, one of the boys teams including Matthew Kelleher, Barry Connolly, Daniel Walsh, Tim Crowley, Daire O’Neill, Michael Collins, Will Coleman and Patrick O’Leary got through to the county finals in Musgrave Park.

After a series of excellent performances in the group stages, they progressed through the group stage. They eventually lost out 2-1 after extra time in the quarter-final.

This was an amazing achievement considering the schools that we were competing against all over the county.

All involved can be very proud of their efforts and they were all superb ambassadors for our school!!

Cnoc Sceach Abú!!

School Show 2024 – Barbie

by knockskeaghadmin1 | Mar 30, 2024 | News

School Show 2024 – Barbie

Wow! 🎭 What an amazing 2 shows we had in Rossmore Hall on Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st March. This year, our whole school show was “Barbie” 🩷 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 invited to were pink and we were blown away when Rossmore Hall was filled with all the different shades over the 2 nights. 🩷

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.

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! 👏🏻

“You’re braver than you think!” Barbie 🩷
