A huge congratulations to the winner of our Slogan Competition Laura Stokes. Here she is with her fabulous poster.
We had 5 super finalists and Laura came out the ultimate winner. Laura was presented with some lovely active prizes.
The finalists were:
1-The elevator will not elevate your motivation.
2- Play together, Friends forever.
3-Have some fun, that's all that needs to be done.
4- Get up and exercise, being fit is very wise.
Our new slogan is: Walking, running, playing tag, Time to earn and Active Flag.
Well Done Everyone

2020 Updates:
We have been very busy since we came back on January 6th. We made 'Active homework' our focus for the month and it has been going great. Each class decided what would suit them best to do. The girls got really excited and loved telling their teachers about what they had done each week. Some class chose a daily or weekly activity and some did a monthly challenge sheet, where the girls picked a different activity each night. We got great feedback in our meeting with the Active Committee about how each class was doing and the attitude to it was extremely positive. We will begin another new challenge after the midterm.
We have also been on contact with the local Louth sports unit to see if they can aid us in our attempt to become more active as a whole school.
