1st Class DEAD!

When we feel like a movement break in First Class Mr O'Neill often puts on one of our favourite songs. When this happens we DROP EVERYTHING AND DANCE!

They learned the Haka as Gaeilge as part of the dance strand of P.E.

They also took part in some kids yoga to loosen out after a very active week!

Healthy Ireland Day

We did a number of activities to promote health and fitness.

We started with 9@9 in the morning, at lunch time we did races in the yard, a tug of war, and finally a penalty shootout!

Every Friday we do 9@9 where the children do 9 minutes of exercise with Mr. Neville before going into class. The children and staff take part!!

How I Stay Fit- 6th Class

How I stay fit

I stay fit by playing a lot of sports. I play camogie, which is my favourite sport, soccer and Gaelic football. Every day after school I do my homework and then go outside and hit a sliotar off a wall. Some days I would be out there for over 2 hours. Then I would practice my solos, so I would run around a lot while doing that. I play for 4 different clubs. I play for Seandun, St Vincent’s camogie and hurling club, Hollyhill ladies football club and Delaney’s Gaelic football club. I do soccer training on Monday, Camogie on Wednesday, I do Gaelic on Thursday and I do more camogie on Saturdays and Sundays and then I would have matches on any other day. I stay fit by eating fruit and vegetables as well. I don’t eat much sweets anymore, only if it’s a special occasion. I like staying fit because if I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to play much sport because I wouldn’t be able to run. I also wouldn’t be able to play for the school soccer, Camogie or Gaelic team and we are in the Sciath Na scoil final in a few weeks. I think we are going to win. We will definitely win if all our team stay fit. That’s why there is also a good side of staying fit. That’s why I like to stay fit and how I stay fit.
