GAA Training
Sixth class have been enjoying GAA training every Tuesday afternoon with Cormac. We have learned plenty of new skills and played lots of great games to practice. One of our favourites was this Rock, Paper, Scissors chasing game.
Avondale Cross Country Relay
On the 3rd of October we went to Avondale. Four girls and four boys from 3rd to 6th class took part in this event. 5th class girls Cameron, Shauna, Alannah and Asia got bronze medals. It was great to see new faces from our school getting a chance to run for the first time. It was around 1 hour 10mins journey on the bus. Once we got there we warmed up and the relay races started. Every race we ran we did well. Everyone tried their best and conquered the hill. The teachers that came were Ms.Staunton and Ms.Higgins. We all had a great day and all the best next year. Everyone did very good, tried their best and never stopped running. We all had a great day.

Valleymount Cross Country
At quarter to ten we
got on the bus heading for Valleymount .We were all ecstatic to run our races. The
bus was loud and cheerful. We finally arrived at Valleymount and we walked down
to the big grassy track . Everybody was very disappointed because the big
famous red tractor wasn’t there.We all warmed up for our races. Finally, it was race time . We all tried our best and did a wonderful job !! We left with lots of medals . It was a great day and we all enjoyed every single second of it !!!

Active School Week No. 1 - October
This year we are changing things a bit. Instead of only 1 active school week per year we are going to have 5!! One or two per term, with active Homework every night during this week.
Ritchie and Sinéad from the Active School Flag Committee have written about our first one.
Last week was active school week. The school did 'Drop Everything And Dance' and skipping.
'Drop Everything And Dance' was really fun. Every day at different times music would come on and everyone would start dancing. That was fun. The school also did skipping on little break. No balls were allowed out on yard, only skipping ropes were.

Last week we ran a K a day. 3rd and 4th class went first then 5th went and then 6th went. We ran down to the black and yellow pole. The parents were on the road to keep an eye on us. When everyone was back 1st and 2nd went and when 1st and 2nd were back everyone went inside to do some work.
