Fitness Fridays at Knockskeagh have proved a great hit in our school recently since our return to in school education
Every Friday our school has a whole school policy providing and promoting exercise on a Friday. We’ve adopted the name “Fitness Fridays”.
During lunchtime, we play music throughout the school using our new speakers to encourage the dance strand.
Also, each pupil walks or runs a mile using our track during various times of the day.
We encourage exercise and outdoor activity on Friday as much as possible on “Fitness Fridays”.
Just another reason why Fridays are our favourite day of the week in Knockskeagh 😊

Today, our 6th Class had a visit from Martina Ryan, Education Officer from the Cork Mental Health Foundation.
Martina spoke about the importance of minding your mental health. The focus of the presentation was to provide strategies and ways for the pupils to take care of their mental health.
Martina mentioned the 5 a day for mental health;
1. Eat Well
2. Keep Active
3. Sleep Well
4. Communicate
5. Be Kind to each other
It was a very insightful talk and the class really enjoyed it.
Thank you Martina for your visit to our school.

This year’s St Patrick Day celebrations were a bit different than others but it was a day that we’ll certainly remember.
Our school took part in the local virtual parade organised by the Clonakilty Mayoral Town Council. The theme for this year’s parade was “Heroes”.
As part of our parade, all our classes danced to the song “Jerusalema”. The pupils had fantastic fun and made a huge effort with dressing up to mark the occasion, either in the emerald green of St Patricks Day attire or as they’re chosen “Hero”. It certainly was a colourful affair.
The school was paid a visit by current Clonakilty Town Mayor Padraig O’Reilly on the day who video recorded our contribution to the virtual parade. Thank you Padraig for visiting our school and for your patience on the day.
Well done to all pupils and staff who made this such a special day.
The virtual parade is available for viewing below and Knockskeagh National School can be seen around 12.53 seconds into the video. Also, our gallery displays a snapshot of pictures from our school’s St Patrick Day parade on the day of recording.

We marked ‘Engineers Week’ from Monday 1st of March to Friday 5th March this year. We are presently working towards the Discover Primary Science Plaque of STEM Excellence which is awarded to schools in recognition of their extensive work in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
There were many engineering challenges and activities during ‘Engineers Week’ this year throughout the classes. They included STEM challenges, a zoom call with an engineer, quizzes, engineering shows and much more.

“When we’re Covid 19 free, this is where I’d like to be” was the title to this years Engineers Week whole school project.
Recent school years have been very different due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Everybody has had to stick with travel restrictions sometimes limiting people to 5km of their own home.
For Engineers Week this year, we decided to spark the imaginations of our pupils and challenged them to draw or build a structure from a country or place that they’d love to visit when travel restrictions lift.
Our pupils certainly rose to the challenge and produced some wonderful designs and structures using all types of materials.
Check out each gallery below for a snapshot of some of the amazing creativity in this project and in other STEM activities during Engineers Week.
More pictures of activities to follow soon.

We marked World Book Day on Thursday the 4th of March.
This year was a bit different as our Junior and Special classes were the only classes present in school on the day.
However, this didn’t stop some Senior classes from marking World Book Day on Zoom and Google Classroom on the day.
The Junior classes marked the day by setting time aside for reading and talking about the importance of reading. The pupils were invited to dress as a book character of their choosing on the day too.
The gallery below displays a snapshot of the colour and creativity on display.
