In the run up to our Easter holidays, all the children from 1st to 6th class participated in a lunch time bench ball league run by Ms Doran and Ms Dollard. This was great fun and helped us keep active at lunchtime with a new game to enjoy. The final was held on the second last day of term and the whole school watched and cheered with delight. A presentation to both the runner up and winning teams was held on the last day, again to the cheers of the whole school. Well done to all involved. Stay active everyone.
Many thanks to Majella and John from Laois Sports Partnership for the enjoyable four weeks of Athletics training for the Junior Room. The Junior Room attended Athletics in Ballacolla every Thursday for the month of April (4 sessions in total). Activities included races, jumping, crawling, throwing, relays, tunnels, hurdles and obstacle courses. Have a look at the photographs taken today at our last session. Remember, every child needs 60 minutes of activity a day. Be fit, Be Active everyone. The Senior Room have now completed their block of Gymnastics training with Portlaoise Gymnastics Club. Great fun was had by all and many skills developed. Many thanks to Denis Donoghue and all the staff for providing the children with a taster into this sport. Maybe we have some budding Gymnasts among us. |
