Active Schools Week – Motivational Monday Round-Up

posted on April 24, 2017

Welcome back to the new school term!

What a brilliant first day launching our Active Schools Week!

We were delighted to welcome parents, Oonagh and Keith Garry who spoke to pupils from 3rd-6th classes about their experiences with their swimming challenges. The pupils (and teachers!) were captivated by their tales of swimming the channel, and other amazing places around the globe.

Later every class took turns to participate in a penalty shootout with our caretaker (and former professional football goalie!) Jonathan. Nobody knew we had such a skilled footballer on our staff !!! Thank you Jonathan!

In the afternoon, pupils from 6th class took part in a workshop for “Disability Awareness in Sports Training”, which included playing wheelchair basketball and a presentation about inclusion of different abilities in sporting activities.

Throughout the school there was lots of activity, running and outdoor play. Please check the individual class pages for more information.

Looking ahead we have …..
