Yoga
A lovely few hours were spent yesterday morning in a different frame of mind. Thanks to Paulina, everyone untensed their bodies and calmed their minds down and had some lovely relaxation yoga – Yin. It was fabulous, a big change at the start but the children soon switched over and enjoyed the change of pace and serenity it brought. We are very grateful Paulina thank you for your time and energy.

Active Schools Week 2023
Active Schools Week was jammed packed for 2023. It began on Monday with a coaching session in Badminton with two coaches from Moyvane Badminton Club. Children practiced their badminton skills in a fun and interactive way. That afternoon, Ms. Finnegan organised activities for every class to give them the opportunity to learn and develop their skills at hurdles, javelin throwing, reaction starts and relay races. On Tuesday, children were coached in basketball by Mrs. Quill. They warmed up their hands with some ball handling and then had a few games of hot seat and a blitz to finish. Wednesday began in a very calm and peaceful way thanks to a parent who volunteered to guide children in meditation and yoga poses. The children learned strategies for breathing effectively and stretching their bodies. The children then took to their bikes and other vehicles with wheels for a drive around the yard to practice balance, agility and learn the rules of the road. Thursday, saw the finals of the Patrick Curtin Memorial Cup come to a close with excellent displays of skill in football from both teams. The senior room also organised and coordinated activities for the younger classes to take part in. On the last day of the week, the week finished on a high as the children enjoyed multiple fun races including egg and spoon race, welly throw, three-legged race, sack race and tug-o-war. A great week full of activity was had by each and every child.
