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!
The children of Junior & Senior Infants learned about habitats. We made our own ‘Jungle’ and ‘Under the Sea’ art displays.
Junior & Senior Infants planted pea seeds. We have looked after them by watering them and making sure they got plenty of sunlight. We are taking them home to plant them in our gardens.
Junior & Senior Infants went on a minibeast hunt along our Active School Walkway. We used our magnifying glasses to get a really good look at all the minibeasts!
Niamh from the Donegal Sports Partnership came to the school today as part of the Ag Sugradh le Chéile project, which aims to promote active play between parents and children. The parents/grandparents of the Junior and Senior Infants were invited to school and as you can see from the photographs – a lot of fun was had by all!
Junior and Senior Infants had great fun today doing circuits with the pupils from 5th & 6th Classes.
