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.
