Run Around Ireland Challenge
Rang a 2, 3 & 4 have been taking part in the Run Around Ireland Challenge. They have clocked up a lot of kilometers running laps of the yard!
Active Lines and Yard Games
Our Playground Leaders thought of excellent exercises to keep the whole school active in their lines after break time!
Our Playground Leaders have also been doing a great job of creating different games for the boys to play during break time such as penalty shoot out, hot-seat, skipping, hula hoop games and new types of tag!
Movement Breaks
We love using GoNoodle, 10@10, laps and our Active Walkway for brain breaks throughout our busy school days!
Active Walkway
We really enjoyed planning our Active Walkway. It has been very effective. Each class uses it for movement breaks, orienteering, naming different flags and using it to name famous athletes during Active Week.
