Physical Activity

Pancake Tuesday 

again this year we added an active element to Pancake Tuesday. The children competed in relay races with a twist! As they ran they had to try and flip their pancake as many times as possible.  A very enjoyable afternoon was had by all.

Cumann na mBunscol 2017/2018 

Boys from 3rd – 6th class engaged in football training after school with Ms Maguire. The boys played games against many other schools in our county. Well done to all involved, in particular Ms Maguire for giving her time to train the boys and the parents who kindly offered lifts to all involved.

Well done to Ailish from 4th class who  competed in a showjumping competition. Ailish won a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons over the Easter holidays. She also received a trophy for making the best effort during these competitions. This is a fantastic achievement.

If anyone else has any active achievements outside of school let us know. Don’t forget you can be active in school and outside of school.

Malin Head to Mizen Head

As part of our journey to achieve an Active Flag for the school every class is participating in a running initiative. Together we are running the combined distance from Malin Head to Mizen Head. To do this every class runs a set distance every week. These distances are combined and tracked on our Active School Noticeboard.

The initiative is heading into its third week now and everyone is really enjoying it. We hope to reach our goal of running 664km during Active Week which will coincide with the Easter Holidays. Check out our slow motion video of the kids from 1st to 4th class completing their run in week two:

 

Soccer 

Soccer training takes place every Monday from 3pm-4pm. The boys have already participated in one tournament and have another coming up in the next few weeks.
