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!
The children of Junior & Senior Infants learned about habitats. We made our own ‘Jungle’ and ‘Under the Sea’ art displays.
Our Parents Association organised a fundraising Waterbus Trip as part of our ongoing efforts to raise money to complete our new artificial playground at the school. Thomas McHugh of the sensational group Onóir very kindly came along to provide some music, and a great time was had by all. Our thanks to Thomas for his kind gesture; to our fantastic Parents Association for their organising of the trip, and to all the people who purchased tickets and came along on the day.
We let our grass grow during the month of May to take part in ‘No Mow May’ to support biodiversity.
1st & 2nd Classes received their certificates for their participation in Marine Week. Well done everyone!
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.
