Active Home week 2020
We are encouraging all the girls to get active at home this year. The target this year is to try and be active for 60 minutes a day from Monday April 27th-Sunday May 3rd. We are encouraging you to get creative with your activities and try up to 4 different ways daily to be active. Try and make your daily routines active. I have uploaded some information for parents and also lots of ideas for you to try. If you want to challenge yourself you can use the record sheet to see how much you can do each day and tick off when you reach the target. You can email this to your teacher at the end to show how active you were. Remember we have to stay inside our 2km radius:)

ACTIVE SCHOOL WEEK 2021- May 17th-21st.
Here is our schedule of events for Active week.
Monday- We got some great tips during football and enjoyed skipping.
Tuesday- Walkways Launch Day.
Our Walkways were officially launched by the committee members with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
We have a front and a back walkway which was used for a variety of activities from a fairy trail to multiplication fun! We worked as a team in a whole class, pairs and small groups to complete this challenge. Check out our slideshow of pictures.
Wednesday- Orienteering in the Park.
We linked with Louth Sports partnership to get some fantastic maps for orienteering in Ice House Hill park and St Helenas park. 1st-6th class ventured to the park for some adventure in the great outdoors. Ms Butterly created a scavenger hunt for the younger classes to use in The nearby Polo field also. We had a blast!
Active Homework
Some of the girls posted their activities on Seesaw. Others are using a template of suggested activities and ticking off what they have been doing while others are using a daily chart to write down their daily activity.
Thursday- Teacher Challenge day.
Many of our teachers jumped on board to set active challenges for the girls. Ms Butterly ran the beep test, Ms Traenor did hand passes against the wall, Ms Mcmahon set a few different throwing tasks using small and large balls, Ms O Carroll set a skipping challenge, Ms Mischo set a cycling challenge to try at home and even Ms McNally challanged the girls by showing off her impressive hula hooping skills.
The girls had great fun trying out the different challenges- not even the wind and rain howling outside would deter them from taking the teachers on. Check out our slideshow to see how we did.

Friday- Walkway and dance
We swapped walkways today and each class got to try out another activity using the opposite yard. The weather was a bitt dull and drizzly but we didn't mind as were were having so much fun. We zipped up our coats and got active! 6th class spent lunch times teaching the other classes some cool dances and got all the girls moving during lunch time. We kept it safe by maintaining our distance.
