Keeping fit and active

Pupils from all classes engage in active breaks each day to keep their minds and bodies fit and healthy. This year we participated in the Olympic Movement Break Challenge. Each day pupils take on the Daily Mile. We are hoping to take part in the Run Across Europe Challenge next Month and reach as far as Greece!

Active Learning Outdoors

We make use of the nearby green areas, forest and the school field for active learning. This year we explored the local nearby green areas searching for mini-beasts and other creatures. We partner with The Local Heritage Council for these workshops.

Cumann na mBunscoil Football

The boys and girls from 4th and 6th participated in the Cumann na mBunscoil football competition with two other neighbouring schools. They put the skills they learn and develop each week with the local GAA coach, John, to the test. Parents from the class also volunteer at matches to support the children and provide their own knowledge and skills about football.

Badminton

Children from 4th and 6th participated in a Badminton blitz as part of the Kerry Badminton Primary Schools competition. This gave children the opportunity to practice their badminton skills against other schools.

Dance

Children engaged in learning new dance routines during the year. The whole school came together to perform the dance routines on the school yard.
