Active School Week 2019
Tuesday
Anne O' Meara from Cricket Ireland came along and taught the children a taster session in Cricket.
From this the children learned how to hold and swing the bat correctly. Anne will return to us next year for 8 weeks of lessons in Cricket.
Juniors and Seniors also took part in a game of sitting volleyball. They learned how this game can be inclusive for people with special needs.
Wednesday
Paula Mitten, a 2nd class parent came along to our school for the 2nd year in a row to teach the children a great Yoga session. The children really enjoyed pushing themselves to move their bodies in different ways. We thank her for her continued support and partnership.
The Active school committee had a busy week organising fun activities during playtime.
Thursday
All classes went swimming on Thursday.
In the afternoon we held a whole school dance out in the yard. Children had been learning the dance during class for the past week to the song 'Old Town Road'and the whole school came out together to showcase it. It was great fun!
