Active Schools Week

• 

On Friday, we were very lucky to have such nice weather that we were able to go for our school walk along with the rest of the school. We started in school 2 and headed for the GAA pitch while passing through the village. We then turned at the pitch and headed back towards the school.

 

 

On Thursday, we had a visit in from Paul Fagan. Paul spoke to the children about life as a country player, and about the importance of eating the correct foods and preparing yourself before a game or training. The children also got to ask him some questions.

In class, we also did some dancing to get us moving between classwork. Have a look below!

 

 

On Wednesday, we had a visit in from Olympian Liam Foley. Liam spoke to the children about his very busy sporting schedule and his experience in the Los Angeles Special Olympics. The children were very impressed with Liam's dedication to all of his sporting activites and how he is able to take part in so many different sports. Liam also passed around his Olympic medals, and the children got to hold them.

 

 

On Tuesday, the children got to go down to the hall and take part in some games with the parachute. The children had great fun moving under the parachute as it was raised up, and going underneath the parachute also. Have a look at what they did below!
