WELCOME TO KNOCKNACARRA NATIONAL SCHOOL
Congratulations to our KNS swimmers, who competed in the Connacht Swimming Championships in Athlone over the midterm break. They came home with silverware and enjoyed a wonderful experience! Our swimmers (L-R): Kit, James, Lucy, Eoin, Eoin, Niamh, Loanne and Farah. Best of luck to Niamh and Eoin, who will represent our school at the National Finals in Dublin in February.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We extend a warm welcome to you and your child to Knocknacarra NS. It is our aim that your child will be extremely happy in our school and will achieve his/her full potential by being happy, sociable and respectful in our school’s pleasant and stimulating learning environment. There is a strong sense of community and a high level of co-operation between staff, pupils, parents and visitors.
New Primary Language Curriculum: The Department of Education and Skills recently published a leaflet for parents on the New Primary Language Curriculum for English and Irish (Junior Infants to Second Class). It explains the curriculum changes and offers advice to parents on supporting their children’s language development at home.
Help My Kid Learn: I would like to highlight another excellent web site, Help My Kid Learn, which brings together relevant information for parents and the wider community to support children’s literacy and numeracy development.
Noreen Healy,
Principal

How do you slow down a snow woman melting? Hmmm….Do you put a coat on her? Will it make her melt slower or quicker? Or will it not make a difference at all? We had a class discussion and we all voted whether putting a coat on her would make a difference. Most...
