Our ‘star chart’ is going well. The children are working hard towards positive behaviour in the yard and when they are lining up. The ‘active’ prize of 10 minutes extra playtime is awarded when 5 stars are gained by the winning class. This is a great incentive to continue positive active vibes.
A group of boys and girls from 1st Class to 6th Class travelled to Donegal Town on Friday to take part in the Tir Chonaill Athletics schools competition at the Abbey Vocational School. They had a great day out and some were lucky enough to come home with medals! Well done to all the boys and girls for representing the school so well.
The Infants were very busy this week with their Easter art! They made Easter cards, Easter baskets and Easter bunnies!
Our 1st & 2nd Class pupils had lots of fun making their colourful Easter Bunnies today. They even added some extra colourful glasses too!
‘Move Well Move Often’
Everyone at St. Naul’s enjoyed the fun activities out in the sunshine today. The children on the Active Committee organised an obstacle race starting with a ‘bunny hop’ onto hopscotch followed by an egg throw into hoops, and lastly an egg & spoon race. We had five teams of 16 and the red team were delighted to be the fastest ‘active’ winners. Their prize of a night off homework on the first day back after the Easter break was met with great cheers!
Well done to all the boys and girls today.
We did it! One of our three full posters of stickers gathered by all the families of the school. Thank you to everyone who helped us reach our target. They have now been sent back to Aldi – so fingers crossed everyone!
Our Garden Club was set up this week. A group of children will work at tidying up our flower beds and planting new bulbs. This is a great chance for the children to be active and take part in multi-sensory activities such as planting, weeding, feeding and harvesting.
Our boys and girls teams competed in the four teacher school Cumann na mBunscol football league today. Some great football was on display in both games and the school was well represented by both teams. Well done to all!
The Infant Classroom had great fun making their gifts for Mammy on Friday – we hope all the Mammies liked them!
The walkway resource which was set up in partnership with ‘Get Ireland Walking’ is in full use. The colourful and durable signposts remind us of this facility on the school grounds. The junior classes are using it for movement breaks aiding concentration on return to class while our senior rooms work on their times tables as they walk……and talk.
