As part of his training plan Mr. Kelly had to complete 3km on the Thursday before the marathon and invited staff and students to join him! Over 500 students ran 6 laps of our active walkway route and these kilometers were added to our Run Around the World challenge.

Daily Olympic Movement Breaks
Throughout December all classes completed 10@10 - 10 minutes exercise at 10 o'clock everyday. We used the Dare to Believe Olympic Movement Breaks which featured Irish stars who will compete in next year's olympics in Paris. Athletes included Kelly Harrington (boxing), Rhys McClenaghan (gymnastics), Harry McNulty (rugby), Sarah Lavin (athletics), Thomas Barr (athletics), Ellen Walshe (swimming) and even Leon Dwyer (break-dancing). Yeah we didn't know break-dancing was in the olympics either!

Our Morning Walk and Talks
Each morning as children arrive to school they drop their bags in their line and head off for a walk with their friends. We feel this is a great way to start off each school day!
