Our Sciath na Scoil boys team was narrowly beaten in their final against Kilmeen NS today.

The Knockskeagh team can be very proud of their performance as they played some excellent football! They kept going right till the end and showed great team spirit on the day but came up short to a very strong Kilmeen side. We’d like to congratulate Kilmeen on their victory.

Well done to all the team and to their managers Mr O’Meara and Mr O’Callaghan for all their work with the team 👍🏽

We are so proud of their performance.

Wellness Week 2022

Wellness Week 2022

Wellness Week 2022

Wellness Week 2022

Wellness activities this week aimed to create an awareness of the importance of; exercise, connection, creativity, and fun to boost your mood.

Some of the activities engaged in included, mindful moments, active breaks, morning shake-up, mindful art, orienteering, yoga, and a hot chocolate check-in.

These activities were arranged by our Wellness Committee. Well done guys and thank you to everybody who contributed to this lovely week.

Wellness Week Activities

Mindful Moments

Each class agreed on a time for daily meditation for the month of May. Our Amber Flag representatives remind teachers each day as school life can be busy sometimes. They’ve earned the title of “Mindful Moment Monitors” in each class. It really is nice to take time to ourselves sometimes.

Feel Good Dance

Each day, we danced during lunchtime using our two speakers. It was great fun  😊

Drop Everything and Colour (DEAC)

On Monday afternoon, we engaged in some mindful colouring in each class.

Gratitude Flower Whole School Art

Each pupil decorated a petal with things they are thankful for in their lives. Their petals formed a beautiful whole school collaborative art piece in our school. The objective was to attempt to get each pupil to focus on the good things in their lives. 

Morning Shake-Up

The sixth class pupils and our Amber Flag reps directed exercise sessions with school pupils on two mornings during Wellness week.

Yoga and Zumba

All classes engaged with Yoga and Zumba in our school hall during Wellness Week. Thank you Ms. Russell and Flavia.

Hot Chocolate Check In

All pupils were treated to hot chocolate and encouraged to chat with classmates. They were encouraged to talk about positive things in their lives and to try to find out something new about their classmates.

Orienteering

All classes were challenged to find markers around the school grounds. They attempted to crack the code on each marker to reveal a hidden message.

Tech Week 2022

Tech Week 2022

We marked ‘Tech Week’ from Monday 21st of March to Friday 25th of March this year.  

There were many technology-related activities throughout each class during the week.

IPADS

Our school is very lucky to be in a position to have a set of 30 IPads. Each class had their usual IPad class during the week, where pupils engaged with many educational applications to help with numeracy, literacy, and other areas throughout the curriculum. 

Some other Tech Week Activities from around the school

5th Class was busy coding during the week creating their own “Dance Party” and created “Star Wars” themed movie scenes.  This proved a great hit with all pupils.

 2nd Class created their own IPAD applications, there were some amazing design suggestions from these budding app developers. Also, they designed their own “Under the Sea” movie scenes using Scratch Junior on our Ipads. 

Check out some of the technology-related activities from around the school during the week
