Step 3: We found a winner to the slogan competition with a school wide vote.
Step 4: Our teachers Ms O Carroll and Ms Butterly signed up for a training day in 'Move Well, Move Often'.
Step 5: We started adding information to our active noticeboard.
Step 6: We are excited to have our first active challenge beginning on November 11th for one month. We are ready for our active breaks.

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.
