We would sincerely like to thank the DAA for the funding we received from the Dublin Airport Community Fund towards our new Ball Stop Nets. These durable nets are a fantastic addition to our yard extension and are much needed for our weekly Gaelic and soccer training sessions.
#FeelGoodFriday WALKWAY Day took place on 25th March. We used this day to launch our new and revised Active School Walkway for the first time. We are using the new walkway route to promote ‘Learning on the Move’ which ties in nicely with the Outdoor and Adventure strand in PE which we are focusing on this year.
As our strand for development this year is ‘Outdoor and Adventure’, we invited Tomás, a physical education facilitator from the PDST to our school to do fun and active workshops with every class. Tomás also touched on the stands ‘Gymnastics’ and ‘Dance’ and gave the teachers some fresh tips and ideas for lessons which was wonderful.
To mark the start of spring, the children planted bulbs, seeds and bare roots with help from James, our wonderful school caretaker. We are looking forward to harvesting our own beans, peas, carrots and strawberries over the coming months.
