Outdoor and Adventure Month - June


 For the first time ever this year we had Orienteering on Sports day.




The clues were very well laid out and there was a lot of running.  I really enjoyed the team work.

It was great to have orienteering this year.  The groups were a mix of 3rd, 4th, 5th 6th boys and girls.. I found it was great fun because the map with the whole school on it could be confusing, but our team worked together to get all the letters.  No one was left behind.

Active Travel - Cycle Safety

Many thanks to our local community guard Mick O'Rourke who visited us last week to check the bicycles and talk to the children about cycle safety and teach the children some skills.
Thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day and nearly every student cycled to school.



3rd to 6th took part in an usual race where the aim was to go as SLOWLY as possible, where the children learned the importance of balance and bike handling.
The children were reminded to wear their helmets and it's great to see so many cycling to school in the good weather.

Hurling After School


Ms Shone and Ms Staunton have resumed after school hurling on Mondays this month.
Well done to all who take part.
