The Knockmore JNS Doodle Den children graduated today from their program. Here is the video presentation they made for their parents.

WELL DONE Children!

Our annual art exhibition took place on the 31st of May and went very well this year.  The theme for this year was "The Gathering." The teachers and children explored this theme in a number of different ways to create many beautiful works of art. Thank you to everyone for the effort they put in and to the parents, family members and friends who visited the school to view the work of our talented artists.

Thank you for visiting our art exhibition. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

The St Patrick's Day sponsored walk on the 15th of March was a big success. A huge thank you to all the children for getting dressed up and to the parents, family and friends who joined the parade or cheered the children as they marched around the estate. Thank you too for your generosity in sponsoring the children.

Dublinia

Yesterday, many of our second class children took a step back in time when they visited Dublinia. Here they had the opportunity to experience the life and smells of Medieval Ireland, followed by dressing up as Vikings and taking a voyage on a longship. After a quick lunch and spotting of some deer in Pheonix Park, their next destination was Collins Barracks. Soldiers were stationed here years ago. Here, they saw everything from military canons and planes to fashion through the ages. A fun packed day was had by all!!
