The very interesting and exciting tennis lessons finished yesterday. All the children enjoyed Jamie’s sense of humour. Lots of new nicknames were acquired as the children learned how to accurately perform the various striking techniques involved in the game. There were prizes every week and each group had an overall winner an runners-up on the final day. The children report having enormous fun and are very grateful to the Parents Association for organising this activity.

Forty children from our school participated in the Cumann na MBunscoil Sports day on Wednesday 7th June.

Many children got through the heats and we also managed to bring home trophies and medals. There was excellent participation by all who represented the school and it was a most enjoyable day.

Today the whole school went for a healthy walk along the shore of our beautiful reservoir.

Mrs. Brady’s Class and Mrs. Morris’s class went on a lovely walk around reservoir today. There was grest fun rolling and running down the bank!

ALL the school came out on Thursday 2nd June to do a giant BURPEE display!

Dominick was in today teaching us lots of fun games with a frisbee. Perfect for getting us ready for the beach this summer😎

Over the last number of weeks we have been working on the Gymnastics element of PE.

We have been learning about different jumps. How to make a jump longer or higher.  We moved in different directions and pathways too. Upper body strength is important too and we learned the caterpillar and  bear walks as well as lots of donkey kicks.

This week we got into groups to make up a sequence incorporating these elements.

Next week is Active Week. There are lots of fun activities planned. On Friday we will have our annual sports day. We need lots of help to make this happen. Please let the school know if you are available.

Lots of the girls in our school were dancing at the weekend. Well done to all the girls on all the fantastic achievements! There is amazing practising in the yard every day so no wonder there was so many trophies and medals.

Every week there is Active Homework instead of written work.

Here are some ideas:

Turn TV breaks into fitness time, do jumping Jacks, Tricep dips, even some burpees!

Take the dog for a walk.

Practise the bear walk, caterpillar walk or donkey kick.

Teach your parents a dance from GoNoodle.
