Physical activity in our new school!

5/3/2020

We are into our third month in our new school and what an incredible new school it is for healthy living! We have so many new facilities to use for exercise, play and fun and they are always busy. Our new basketball courts are very popular with the children, as is our wonderful bright and spacious sports hall.

The soft play area is a wonderful place to run around and play and the children love to go in there. During lunch breaks the school is a hive of physical activity with our two separate yards offering ample space for play, games and fun. Also, during lunch breaks there is sports coaching taking place with Orla delivering basketball coaching, Lisa coaching Gaelic football and myself coaching soccer. It really is go go go and its great to see!

Another exciting new initiative has been the introduction of the "Daily mile". With our fabulous new path around the school, our children are clocking up the miles in a fun way, be that walking or jogging and they seem to be really enjoying the exercise. 

As we move towards nicer weather in the coming weeks and months we might see our amazing new bike racks full of scooters and bikes every morning!

Here's to lots more exercise, physical activity and healthy living.
