Run Around Ireland Challenge

Our recent ‘Run Around Ireland’ Challenge came to its conclusion during Active Week.
All classes ran, walked, and jogged laps of our track over the last month and reached some scenic Irish places along each of their routes.

Well done to all pupils and staff for their efforts this year!!

Our Active Schools Team helped form this art display to take account of the destinations reached by all our classes too.

Well done guys, it really is fantastic.

Active Stations

Our Active Flag Team arranged stations activities for Junior Infants to 3rd Class.

Fun activities were organised by the team and it was excellent to see how each of the team was so helpful. 

Table Tennis Takeover

Some of our classes used our new retractable table tennis nets and bats kindly donated by Active Schools during the week.

It really was so much fun!!

Also, our Active Flag Team organized benches in our school yard for senior classes to play table tennis at lunchtime too.

Sciath na Scoil

Friday the 12th of May saw the Senior Boys from Knockskeagh N.S play in the Sciath na Scol Round Robin . It was a glorious day in Ahamilla and the football matched the weather conditions .

In our first game we plalyed our near neighbours Gaelscoil Mhichíl Uí Choileáin Cloch na Coíllte . Knockskeagh playing against a stiff breeze in the first half were slow to settle and the Gaelscoil kept the scoreboard ticking over and crucially scoring 1 – 4 with the breeze to their backs . However our boys showed tremendous spirit defending as a team led by the heroic Brian Crowley and Rory Harte at the back .Oran O’ Sullivan, Matthew Kelleher and Donnachá Ryan covering acres in an effort to repel the boys in the Emerald Green . Patrick O’ Leary was a safe pair of hands throughout making some fine saves .
In the second half Knockskeagh got to work on the scoreboard . Matthew Kelleher getting us off the mark . Mattie Coffey scored a brace of points as Knockskeagh were now finding their groove . Michael Collins covering every blade of grass and executing some terrific blocks .
Daniel Walsh Barry Rory Connolly were now getting more change in the half forward line . Sonny Ryan and Donnachá Straight were a constant thorn in Gaelscoil rearguard . Colin Maloney’s introduction saw him when great possession and he linked seamlessly with who crashed the ball to our neighbour’s net . The boys in purple and green were now really moving and Matthew Kelleher billowed the net with a pile driver from 45 yards out but the Gaelscoil grabbed two more goals and time ran out on Knockskeagh .

Next up for Knockseagh were Timoleague National School .Timoleague took control of proceedings with the aid of a strong breeze , Knockskeagh defended well with Brian Crowley leading the defence . He had great help from Daniel Walsh ,Oran O’ Sullivan, Rory Harte and Patrick O’ Leary . Whilst Sonny Ryan was a safe pair of hands at number one . Michael Collins was once again blocking and Mattie Coffey working hard in the middle . Colin Maloney put the Timoleague rearguard under pressure . Daire O’ Neill worked very hard .At Halftime Knockskeagh trailed the Timoleague boys by four points . In the second half Knockskeagh played heroically, the Connolly brothers grabbing a goal each to put Knockskeagh roaring back into the game . Desmond Barrett grabbed loads of possession and used it wisely. Knockskeagh led by a point as time ebbed away but Timoleague grabbed an equaliser with the last kick of the game .

In our final game we played Ardagh N.S this was a tight game with both teams playing lovely passages of football . Rosscarbery won by seven points .

Wild Work Programme

Wild Work Initiative

Pupils from 1st to 5th class were given the opportunity to participate in the Wild Work Initiative on the week running up to the Easter holidays. All classes thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor classroom experience and they learned so much with Lizet, the programme co-ordinator.

The Wild Work Programme aims to enable communities and empower schools to undertake ambitious programmes that will affect real change in habits and attitudes towards the environment. The initiative is one of the largest biodiversity training programmes in Ireland. Sustainability is core to their work and the aim is to make schools and communities more green in their approach.

They encourage learning in wild spaces and Lizet brought the classes out in to nature, where the children were able to learn through seeing, touching and interacting with the natural world. The pupils were enabled to experience an outdoor learning setting that inspired practical actions and they learned how nature can help people help nature and explore how our small actions can make a big difference to wild places and schools. 

It was an amazing experience and we thank Lizet for all her enthusiasm and hard work throughout the 2 days she was with us! Well done everybody smile

FAI Soccer 2023

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

Both our girls and boys’ teams played really well in the tournament.
All teams’ efforts were rewarded with positive results in the group stages.
Ultimately, our representatives narrowly missed out on progression to the next stage of the competition.
However, all involved can be very proud of their efforts and they were all superb ambassadors for our school!!
Cnoc Sceach Abú!!
