This year our school will be renewing the Active Flag. This is our first time to renew the Active Flag after receiving our first flag in 2021. Since then our school have been taking part in regular activities to keep fit and healthy. Some of the activities have included: European Week of Sport, Run around Ireland/Europe, Active Week, Sports Day, Soccer Competitions, Cross Country, External Coaches and weekly PE lessons.
Most recently in September the children took part in a week of sport learning all about relays. The children got to work together and learn the skills involved in these races. They really enjoyed getting to see some of the Irish Olympians take part in their races through online videos.
Some key dates for the diary this year are:
Nov 18th-Dec 13 Active Breaks Challenge
March 31st-May 9 Skip Around Europe
May 6th-9th Active School Week
May 9th Skipping Takeover
