All competitors put in great performances and we were unlucky not to qualify to the finals in a number of events.

A great time was had by all on our recent school tour. 3rd-6th classes descended on Dublin for the day. First stop was Dublin Zoo. We had fabulous weather while there. We then traveled on to Croke Park for a guided tour. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed visiting the dressing rooms and and players lounge.

Active Week – Day 5 – Outdoor & Adventure

Today is our last day of Active Week and we focused on Outdoor & Adventure activities. We worked in groups, reading maps and finding different tags around the school. The children showed great team work and communication skills and had lots of fun along the way. Here are some photos or our adventures!

3rd & 4th Class

Whole School Running Initiative!  

The whole school are taking part in a fun running initiative. The children are running from Malin Head to Mizen Head plotting their journey along the way. This is a whole school initiative with a fun interactive notice board to plot their journey. The classes enjoy pin pointing where exactly they are on the map. There are a number of main towns marked on the map which they have to go through before they reach their final destination, Mizen Head. The whole school love working in their class groups to get as far as they can along the route.

Active Week – Day 4 – Dance

Today we focused on the Dance strand. We danced to music using the interactive whiteboard. We danced along to go noodle and just dance for kids! Then we made up dance moves in groups to a certain songs and performed to for other classes. It was great fun! Here are some pictures of the kids in action! 🙂
