Our Active School Committee drew up a rota for the use of P.E. Equipment in the playground at lunchtimes.
The Active Agents in each class brought out the equipment every day and ensured that it was brought back inside afterwards. The children had great fun playing with the hoops, beanbags, scoops and balls and their skipping skills have improved immensely!
BECAUSE OUR DIFFERENCES ARE WHAT MAKE US GREAT
March 21st is World Down Syndrome Awareness day and the day is marked by people wearing mismatched socks. We invited all the pupils and staff to wear mismatched socks to school – ‘Because our differences are what make us great’. Ryan and Alana came to school with rice krispie buns for everyone which were made by Ryan and Alana, with the help of Mum Paula and sister Amy. Thank you for the lovely treats!
As part of our Active School Flag process, we invited a coach from our local GAA Club, St. Naul’s, to come along and provide coaching in gaelic football for all classes. As you can see from the photographs, the children had lots of fun while learning new skills. Thank you Donie!
All the pupils came to school today wearing green in readiness for the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations! Lots of fun for everyone as they made their St. Patricks Day artwork!
The children take part in a paired ready programme every year which gives the older and younger children the chance to work together to improve reading and language skills as part of a team.
The children took part in the cross country county finals. We had lots of medal winners on the day and all the children had great fun.
As part of our Active School Project, we decided to run a ‘Christmas Mile With A Smile’ on our last day of school before the Christmas Holidays. All the children were feeling very festive in their Christmas jumpers and hats!
The children were all very excited on the last day of school to see Santa himself coming in for a visit! He gave a gift to each child and told them he would do his best to bring them what they wanted for Christmas! Great fun all round, followed by Assembly where there was plenty of singing and prizes given to various classes.
All the children in the school took part in our Christmas Nativity 2018 – ‘Straw & Order’ – a battle for the stable between the cows and the donkeys! The children and staff had great fun putting this nativity together and we hope everyone who came to see it enjoyed it as much as we did!
