Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre Tour
Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre Tour
2nd Class had a fantastic morning at the Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre earlier this morning.
From learning about our local food heritage and the history of the famous blackpudding, to dressing up in the old-time butcher shop and finishing with a tasty plate full of Clonakilty products —our 2nd class pupils were fully engaged from start to finish.
Huge thank you to all the team at the Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre for such a warm, informative and fun tour.
A brilliant local history lesson right on our doorstep!

We’d a fantastic Bike Day at Knockskeagh NS during Bike Week! Pupils had a brilliant time building their cycling confidence through fun and active sessions focused on balance, braking, turning skills, and exciting bike games. It was wonderful to see everyone developing new skills, supporting each other, and enjoying the day outdoors. A huge well done to all our young cyclists from Juniors to 3rd class for their enthusiasm and effort!
We were delighted to receive funding for Bike Day from Cork Sports Partnership on behalf of Cork County and City Councils. Thank you so much to Ulick from Bike Wizards for his knowledge, and to all the parents who supported us by bringing in pupils’ bicycles. #bikeweekcork @corksportspartnership

Active Week 2026
We had a blast in Knockskeagh NS last week celebrating Active Week 2026!!
Our Active Leaders can be proud for their efforts in organising our Morning Shake Ups, FMS stations in our junior class yards and our golf masters staff challenge. Well done to our champs!!
We’d a Table Tennis Takeover in our schoolyard all week for 2nd to 6th classes.
Other highlights included GAA with Conan and tennis with Alan in our astro turf.
Also, our 3rd and 4th class continued their “Unleash Your Drive” programme with Robert Cussen of Golf Ireland. These sessions are proving a real hit this year!!
Daily active breaks, active homework and feel good music at lunchtime were other activities enjoyed by our pupils last week.
It certainly was a lively and engaging week, with the children embracing every activity with energy, and of course plenty of smiles. @active_school_flag #ASW26
