We were very lucky to receive a visit from two members of the victorious Cork Minor Footballers Eoghan Nash and Nathan Gough who brought with them the Thomas Markham Cup.
The students decorated the school in red and white in eager anticipation of their arrival.

The boys and their coach gave the students a fantastic speech on the importance of sport, fair play, team work  and working hard. Our future All Stars listened very carefully!

A few questions answered correctly earned some of our students a signed poster.

Attention then turned to Knockraha's own successful ladies! Past pupil Kiera and some of our 5th and 6th class pupils showed off the trophies they had won at county level for camogie and football.

Huge thanks to all for making such a special occasion for the children to enjoy!

Wow! O.ur 5th and 6th class have been taking part in the Daily Mile challenge. Since they returned in September they and their teacher Ms  O Sullivan have run a mile a day (which equates to 12 laps of the school yard)/
On Friday the 18th October they reached 26 miles which meant they had run the equivalent of a marathon.​

The whole school joined in to run the final mile!!

After they completed their run they were presented with medals and certificates to mark their achievement .

Well done to Ms O Sullivan and the 5th and 6th class.

The future astronauts of Scoil Mhuire enjoyed this weeks Space Week. All classes took part in a wide range of activities over all curricular areas to learn more about this fascinating topic.

Our fantastic athletes took part in the Cork City Primary Sports in CIT. Ms Hennessy and Rose accompanied them to the huge event, As can be seen from the pictures above their was a few trophies won but most importantly all ran their absolute best and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Well Done Girls.

On Thursday the 7th of March Scoil Mhuire joined in the international celebration of World Book Day.
We started the morning with a parade of the book charachter costumes from the Senior Classes.

Meanwhile the Junior Classes enjoyed bedtime story time with 5th and 6th Class and their bedtime buddies!
