‘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!
Our boys and girls teams took part in the Spar 5-a-side soccer competition today at Eany Celtic FC in Inver. Both teams played some great football – even playing through the hailstone showers that descended on them! Well done to everyone who took part today and represented the school.
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!
The coach from our local Golf Club in Murvagh came to the school to teach some golfing skills to the children from 3rd-6th Classes. They learned how to hold the golf club, the correct stance and how to hit a ball! Great fun had by all. Thanks to Leslie for coming in.
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!
