Knockskeagh Olympics

On Tuesday 8th of June, we officially opened our Knockskeagh Olympic Games.

Each class wore their country’s colours and walked a lap of our Active Flag Walkway to great cheer and fanfare from the whole school. Even though the weather wasn’t good, it still didn’t dampen the spirits of the whole school. 

During the remainder of this week, each class will participate in lots of different sporting events! Each class is divided into Olympic teams and will represent a particular country! If a team member finishes in the top 5 in any event, they win their team points! At the end of the week, the points will be added up and the team with the most points will be crowned Olympic Champions. They will receive gold medals. Silver and Bronze medals will also be awarded for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place.

Check out our gallery below for a sample of the colour on display during our Opening Ceremony. 

On Friday we will have our Sports Day! Loads of fun activities will take place! All activities will count again towards the overall results for the medals!!

 

Everyone will participate and have great fun, which is the most important thing!! Let the games begin !!

School Garden

4th Class recently took on our garden project and did an amazing job.

They put in trojan work, cleaning all our flower and vegetable beds.

Then they got to work planting. They planted peas, beans, edible flowers, onions, carrots, salad leaves, beetroot, pumpkin, and regular flowers.

Pond

The 4th Class decided to dig our very own pond as a new addition to our garden for this year.

I’m sure you’ll agree they did a fabulous job.

Well done to everybody who contributed to this amazing project smile We think its a wonderful new addition to our school. 

Please see our gallery below for a sample of the hard work our 4th class completed this year.

3rd Class School Tour

Last Thursday, our 3rd Class visited Smugglers Cove in nearby Rosscarbery for their school tour. 

Even though the weather was very wet, it didn’t dampen the spirits of our 3rd Class pupils.

They had an absolute ball trying out the newly introduced tubing slides. They had great fun attempting to find their way out of the Tower Adventure maze too. While also, giving Adventure golf their best shot during the day.

I’m sure it’ll be a day they’ll never forget.

School Show 2021

As you know, we were unable to have our usual school show this year. We have, however, done something very special with the 6th class. Rehearsals have been taking place in line with covid restrictions both in school and after school since returning after Easter.

We are delighted to now be at the final stage of production and the performance is being recorded this week by Greg Mulcahy. Once the final editing has been completed, we hope to take 6th class to the Park Cinema for a special screening on the 16th of June.

We are very grateful to Mark Coombes for once again photographing the performance. This year’s production has been a real team event with 6th class pupils and staff putting in trojan work. Huge thanks to everyone for their hard work.

Thanks to our Dancing Teacher, Jenny O’Gorman for all the work and effort she has put into the show.

Special thanks to Anne Beechinor for the enormous amount of work she has put into the show, both in rehearsals and the final productions creating something very special with the 6th class.

We are all looking forward to seeing the finished product when details of how the DVD can be ordered will be forwarded. Thanks to everyone and well done!
