Rugby Blitz

Our 1st – 6th class pupils took to the field in Clonakilty RFC grounds yesterday for the annual rugby blitz.

Thankfully the sun shone all day long which made for a fabulous day of rugby.

All at Clonakilty RFC deserve huge praise for their incredible organisation of this event.

There was fun, games and even some super dance moves on display from all our pupils. 😊

Thank you to our visiting rugby coach Finny too, who visits us every Thursday during this half term. 😊

African Drumming

Every Tuesday over the last few weeks, each class has engaged in African Drumming workshops.

Building on knowledge and skill from last year, each class have been introduced to basic rhythmic concepts of West African and world percussion through drumming, chanting, body percussion, call and response and storytelling.

Using the West African Djembe (pronounced djem – bay) students assemble in the drum circle.  They connect to rhythm and sound using a variety of percussion instruments, bells and shakers. It really is great fun!!

Everybody used look forward to drumming time each Tuesday. 🥁😀 

Many thanks to Patrick for the fun drumming lessons and we look forward to the last two weeks.👏

Clonakilty International Guitar Festival 

On Friday, 19th September, Knockskeagh had the privilege of welcoming back three past pupils to perform a full set of home-written songs. as part of the Clonakilty International Guitar Festival. Muirne, Lillia and Tess formed their band when they were in 6th Class in Knockskeagh and have continued to grow in their musical strengths over the last few months. 🎶

The girls kept the whole school entertained with their set, which included their own written songs, while playing a mixture of instruments, including the guitar, piano, drums and ukulele. 🎵

We were very honoured to have the girls back and we look forward to seeing them more and more over the coming years.

Knockskeagh are very proud of you! 😊
