Month: January 2017
Inside our classrooms on a wet lunchtime
It was the junior infants turn, while it was raining, to carry out circuits indoors during lunch time while the older classes did zumba and yoga in their rooms. Circuits are a great way for children to experience different exercises.
Physical Activity: Morning Movements
Below are our morning activities which we carry out before school each day.
Rounders
The ASC were given a suggestion to make a school set of rules for rounders. These proved very handy today for the children in first to third class during the lunch time to play a fair game.
Partnerships: Rugby!
Don’t forget to hand in your form before the 25th of January, to be in with a chance to be the Irish rugby teams mascot. The application form is below if anyone has lost theirs.
Snow is falling
We were all delighted to see the snow today and enjoyed having a run around in it before it melted.
Physical activity in our lines
While the children are in their lines the ASC model different exercises to keep everyone moving. They do exercises like squats, jumping jacks, running on the spot etc. It is great to see the whole school moving more often together.
Walking as your talking
The ASC are encouraging their peers to keep moving during their breaks. They are motivating each other to stay walking even when they are talking. In the picture below we have a fantastic example of the girls in sixth class walking as they are talking. Keep it up everyone!
Thank You
A big thank you from the Active Schools committee for your kind donations for the Santa Dash. We raised over €150 for P.E. equipment/workshops. We look forward to getting more active this term. Thanks again for your support, The Active Schools committee.
Santa Dash!
The whole school took part in a fun filled afternoon just before the Christmas holidays. The children dressed up in Christmas clothes and took part in different activities and races. Some the races were; the bauble and spoon race, Santa’s sack race and polar bear races. The children also played pin the nose on Rudolf, Christmas statues(musical statues) and Christmas Charades. The Santa dash was another great way to get everyone moving and having fun.
