An action packed school tour took place last week as we visited Rockhill Holiday Park. The children took part in a number of activities, and as you can see from the photographs, they had a great day with smiles all around! Thanks to all the parents who came along on the tour – we hope you enjoyed the day as well!
A sunny day and we started off with the whole school assembling in the yard for ‘Wake Up, Shake Up’ exercises which were demonstrated by our Active Committee. The classes then split into their own yard spaces and began to partake in some fun activities. The Junior Room had running races organised which proved to be very popular. Mrs McGroary’s class played traffic lights and four corners, while Mr. McDermott’s class enjoyed a competitive game of Unihoc. Master O’Donnell’s class started off playing chains and later went in to the GP room for an exciting game of skittles.
A big thank you to Damien Friel from Eany Celtic Football Club, who arrived after break time and kindly set up Mrs Gavigan’s and Mrs McGroary’s classes with a very enjoyable session on football drills and skills. Mrs Gavigan’s class were also delighted to play a novelty game in the yard during the lunch break.
The afternoon kicked off with the challenge of getting through a fun obstacle course for all classes – followed by skipping, basketball and the beanbag throw! A great start to our Active Week!
Our annual school cycle took place today, and what a great day it was! The weather continued to be kind to us as the younger pupils took to the school yard and the older pupils made their way to the beach at Inver. Our thanks to our helpers – Sean Gallagher and John O’Sullivan!
Donie McCole from St. Naul’s GAA & LFGA Club comes to the school every week to provide training for all of our pupils The 3rd & 4th Classes were delighted when he organised a fun blitz involving all the local schools, which took place on Monday. They all had a great day out! Our thanks to Donie for all his help this year and for organising the fun blitz for everyone.
The children of 3rd & 4th Classes picked their vegetables this week. They were delighted with their home grown produce!
3rd & 4th Classes enjoying some of Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ artwork in the sunshine.
Peter came to the school recently to tell the children of 3rd & 4th Classes a little bit about his job as a soldier. He explained to them what life is like in the army. Our thanks to Peter for coming along.
Inland Fisheries Ireland visited the school recently to teach the pupils a little bit about fish, water, angling and the environment. After a presentation given to the 5th & 6th Class pupils, everyone got a chance to have a look at the various fish! As you can seen from the photographs, everyone from Infants all the way up to 6th Class was very interested in Something Fishy!
The pupils of 3rd & 4th Classes participated in group work to create different human structures, letters and household items. All good work carried out for team bonding!
