Knockskeagh Olympic Games 2024

Our Active Team launched the Knockskeagh Olympic Games by visiting all classes during the week. They spoke about the Knockskeagh NS Olympic values of respect, fair play, joy of effort, and pursuit of excellence which were inspired by the Dare to Believe Programme.
  
Each class will be divided into teams over the next few weeks and they will take part in different events related to our focus strand Atlethics. Each pupil will be awarded points for their team depending on their placing in each event. The culmination of our games this year will be our Sports Day on Tuesday June 11th.
Let the games begin!! 🥇🏅

West Cork Rapid Response Critical Care Jeep Visit 2024 🚨

On Monday 20th May, we were very lucky to have the West Cork Rapid Response Critical Care jeep visit us in school. 🚑 This is a fantastic resource in our community and it is completely voluntary. How lucky are we to have this resource on our doorstep if we need it?

All children were invited to explore the jeep and see each of the different compartments that the jeep has. It was smiles all around! 😊

Thanks to Kate, Betty and Liam for their care and attention and for giving up their morning to come in to us. We really appreciate it! The sound of the sirens impressed everyone! 🚨

Bike Day 2024

Ulick of Bike Wizards helped to teach our pupils from Junior Infants to 3rd Class cycling skills today.

The classes loved the challenges that Ulick set in each lesson. They learned about balance, braking, and turning skills 🚴‍♀️
There were a few pupils who cycled without the aid of stabilisers for the very first time which was excellent to hear and witness.
Others in the more junior classes focussed on balance bike work and teachers commented on how competence improved over the session.
We were delighted to receive funding for this bike event from Cork Sports Partnership on behalf of Cork County and City Councils. 
Thank you so much to Ulick for his fun and invaluable advice and to all parents who supported us by bringing in pupils’ bicycles.
