Daffodil Day 2022

Today, the Irish Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day Fundraiser took place in school.

All children were invited to wear yellow or orange on the day. 

We’d like to thank everybody for their generous donations to this very worthy cause.  Also, special mention to everyone who helped in any way to make our day such a success.

We raised a total of €2126 during the week, which truly is an amazing result. 

The gallery below displays pictures of our Daffodil Day raffle held to great excitement in the schoolyard today.

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

St Patricks Day 2022

St Patricks Day 2022

St Patricks Day 2022

St Patrick’s Day celebrations this year were something that we’ll certainly remember as it was a return to the in-person parade of a few years ago. 

Our school took part in the parade organised by the Clonakilty Mayoral Town Council. The theme for this year’s parade was “Le chéile arís”

As part of our parade,  the pupils made a huge effort with dressing up to mark the occasion,  in the emerald green of St Patricks Day attire or in the Knockskeagh jersey colours. 

We showcased all the wonderful activities on offer in our school and all that makes Knockskeagh so special in this year’s parade. 

Well done to all pupils and staff who made this such a special day.

Our gallery displays a snapshot of pictures from our school’s display in the  St Patrick Day parade in Clonakilty.
