In celebration of the success of the Irish Team during the 2024 Olympic games and especially in celebration of the success of the Irish relay teams this past year. Here are some photos
Run around Europe Initiative
The whole school took part in the run around Europe initiative. Every child ran 10 minutes around the school everyday! We counted our laps with the goal of reaching certain places in Europe. The senior and middle room's goal was Riga in Latvia and the Junior Room's goal was Paris.
Active Movement Break Challenges
We took part in the Olympic movement break challenge where we took some inspiration from our Olympic and Paralympic heroes by taking part in daily Olympic movement breaks in the classroom
PAWS Water Safety
As part of the aquatics strand in the PE Curriculum the children learned about the importance of water safety through the PAWS lessons which are developed by the Irish Water Safety initiative. Below are some of the children with their certificates of participation.
Active Week 2024
Our very first active week took place in June 2024. During this week the children got to try out a wide range of different sports. We had Athletics, Rugby, Soccer and Hurling coaches come to our school. Every morning started with a "Wake up Shake up" activity in the classroom. The children also took part in a mini 5 a side soccer blitz throughout the week. Our Active week also included our sports day.
