Super Troopers

As part of our school's campaign to get our first Active School Flag, we are beginning the Super Troopers programme. This is Ireland's first ever health homework programme and it aims to get children doing their 60mins of recommended daily exercise-currently 4 in 5 Irish children do less than this. It also encourages healthy eating and learning about the human body. 

The children all received their Super Troopers journal, which has different activities set out for every night at home. These will be checked in school on a Friday, so please remember to bring them in! There is also a wall chart for home which encourages all members of the family to exercise and keep track of how they are doing. 

It is hoped that this programme will help the children (and parents and teachers!) to form long-term healthier attitudes and behaviours. 

Yo-Yo Yoga Storytelling

Ms Keane's Classroom went down to Trim Library today to take part in the Yo-Yo Yoga Storytelling activity. It was a really active way to enjoy hearing stories. Read more at http://mskeanesclassroom.blogspot.ie/2015/10/library-trip.html
