We had a spooktacular Halloween Dress Up day in school on Thursday the 23rd of October. There were some fabulous costumes on display- everything from superheroes to builders and more! We also received a visit on the day from the victorious Doora-Barefield minor football team who won recently. It was lovely to have them visit the school and to see some past pupils back again.
During the month of October we filmed a video in school for the PROTECT Climate Project. For this video there were pupils picked from each class to talk about our climate. We filmed the video one Friday together with the pupils from each class. We spoke about lots of things in the video, for example, we spoke about how you need to keep the sea animals healthy and safe from rubbish in the ocean. We also said you have to keep the sand clean and throw rubbish in the right bins.
The video was about four minutes long, and we added music and pictures to the video as well. The video was played in the Council Chamber Hall on Wednesday the 15th of October, and five pupils from the school- Luke Callinan, Beibhinn Curran, Croíadh Barry, Alison Casey and Ellie O’Brien attended the Chamber Hall to speak about climate change. Overall, we really enjoyed engaging in the PROTECT project, and we look forward to the next stages of the project which involves learning more about aspects of climate change in school.

There has been great excitement all week here in Knockanean as we all look forward to the Senior Football County Final this Sunday in Cusack Park! Pupils wore their club colours on Friday and designed wonderful flags and art to decorate the school in anticipation of the big game!
