We have had a very busy week doing lots of different Maths activities! We had Maths challenges, quizzes, trails, iPad games, chess events and much more.

We also had a very sucessful Maths stations event in the school hall where a younger class paired with an older class to play different Maths games and take part in activities.

It really was great fun discovering Maths all around our school during the week!!

Crinniú na nÓg
Crinniú na nÓg – On June 7th, Ireland celebrated a national day of free creativity for children – Crinniú na nÓg.
This is an initiative that enables the creative potential of children and young people. 👪 We celebrated free creativity in Knockskeagh on Friday 6th June, and WOW! 😍 What amazing talented children we have amongst us! 🌟 They showed a wide range of creative skills, such as singing 🎤, dancing 💃🏼, Lego building 🏛, DIY skills ⚒️, art creations 🎨, gymnastics 🤸‍♀️, drama 🎭, science experiments 🔬 and so much more!
It was lovely to see children come together and share ideas of what they could do, plan out how they were going to do it, and then complete the task. It was also fantastic to see individual children have the confidence to show their creative side on their own, as they took on a solo adventure.
Well done to all involved! 👏🏼 The gallery below displays a snapshot of the colour and creativity on display.

Trip to Darrara Agricultural College

Trip to Darrara Agricultural College 2025

On Tuesday 11th March, 2025, Senior Infants headed off to Darrara Agricultural College to be shown around, and what a treat it was! The sun was shining all day for us!

We got to sit up on the tractors 🚜, it didn’t matter to us whether they were John Deere or New Holland. 😊 Then we went to visit the new lambs that have been born and best of all, we all got to hold one. 🐑 They were really cute! After that, we went to see the new baby calves. 🐮They were too big for us to hold, but we were able to rub them. We were very quiet so not to frighten them. We learned what happens in the milking parlour and saw all the machines that are needed so we can have milk on our tables every day. 🥛 Lastly and definitely the best part was everyone got to “drive” a tractor in their real life simulator. It was amazing to get that practice in.

We definitely have some young budding farmers amongst us👨‍🌾. How lucky are we to have this service practically on our doorstep! Thanks to everyone at Darrara Agricultural College for all your advise and guidance. We will most certainly be back! 😊
