Christmas Concert 2016
What a fabulous night we had on Thursday 15th December 2016 in Ballinacarriga Hall. The Junior & Senior Infants recreated the Nativity for us to start the night and after that all the children from Ballinacarriga NS took part in the Musical Aladdin! There were smiles all round and a good time was had by all! The night was finished off with some festive tunes! Thanks to all the children who played their tin whistles, guitars & accordions! 
Circuits
The Active Schools Committee have created a rainy day rota for circuits in the middle room. The pupils will carry out various exercises during their breaks. While we were stuck indoors on Thursday due to the weather we tried out the circuits as a whole school in the hall. The Active Schools Committee were the leaders for different stations modelling the exercises. The children did shuttle runs, jumping jacks, squats, planks and high knees. We are looking forward to doing learning and trying out different exercises in our next circuits.
Rainy Days!
The senior classroom didn’t let the wet weather stop them from getting active yesterday. During their lunch break they used GoNoodle and enjoyed some zumba and yoga indoors. The children are looking forward to trying out different exercises during their break when its raining from now on.
N.C.T.
We carried out our first ever ‘No Car Thursday’ on the 1st of December 2016 and it was a great success. The children and the staff met at two different locations and walked to school together. It was a fun and safe way (thanks to the Green Schools Committee’s survey and for the high vis jackets) to get active in the morning. Thank you to everyone who took part and we look forward to walking to school together every Thursday from now on.
Walk on Wednesday
A few pics from Walk on Wednesday. The whole school walked from the hall to the school on a beautiful crisp winter morning. A very enjoyable walk!
