Active Week 2018 took place from 28th May to 1st June. We started with yoga sessions for children, parents and teachers on ‘Mindfulness Monday’. On Tuesday, 4th Class went to DIT Grangegorman to take part in a special sports day with other local schools, organised by the Community Garda team in the Bridewell Station. They had a super time! Back at school, we had ‘Try-It-Out’ Tuesday organised by Mr. Carney, where children got to try activities like badminton, rugby, javelin and the high jump!
Each morning, Ms. O’Callaghan led our ‘Wake and Shake’ in the yard, getting everyone’s heart rate going before the work of the day. On Wednesday, we had our official sports day for 1st to 6th Class in Kings’ Inn. The children took part in a range of fun activities and were great sports! On Thursday, we had ‘Drop Everything and Dance’ at lunchtime while 5th and 6th Class took part in a local GAA football blitz organised by the Community Garda team in Mountjoy Station. We finished with Frisbee Friday!
