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.

Easter Fun In The Sun!!

‘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.

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.

Playground Games!

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!

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.
