Day 5 was our SPORTS DAY!!
The sun came out and all the pupils had an action-packed day. Everyone assembled in their colours of 4 teams made up of pupils from junior infants to 6th class. Our events were:
• Wake Up Shake Up (whole school)
• Sprints (all classes boys/girls)
• Hotseat (3rd-6th class)
• Knock-Out (3rd-6th class)
• Beanbag throw (Jun Infants – 2nd class)
• Skipping races (all classes)
• Soccer finals
• Relays (all classes)
• Penalty shoot (1st-6th class)
A fantastic day of physical activity enjoyed by all the pupils and staff nicely interrupted by an ice cream break at lunch time. Thank you, Master O’Donnell!
All the pupils returned after the summer holidays energised and ready to continue with our physical activities. The dance breaks continue to be enjoyed by all the junior classes. Our Active committee all agreed that ‘The Daily Mile’ was the most popular running initiative. It was decided to commence this on 9th September for 2 weeks and we will re-visit this at that stage. Let’s get active, let’s stay active!
We have two new members on the committee, Shay and Anna who replace Karl and Lucy who have moved on to the Abbey Vocational School.
