ACTIVE SCHOOL FLAG


Congratulations to our Active School Flag committee, and to the whole of St. Patrick's NS, for getting our school's very first Active School Flag! There was a lot of hard work put in by everyone in the school and we are very proud of this achievement :) 

Here are Matthew, Isabella and Kady showing off our new flag and certificate:

Green School Expo 2016


On Thursday the children in 1st-6th got a bus to the RDS for the very first Green Schools Expo. They had a great day looking at the work different schools did to achieve the different Green School Flags. The President of Ireland was there and some of the children got a chance to shake his hand. Mia Chambers also won a scooter!

Active School Flag


As you know, we have been busy in St. Patrick's NS to win our first Active School Flag. You can see some of our work by clicking the 'Active School Flag' tag at the right hand side of the screen. 

We are having a visit on Friday to see if we have made our school a more active community. We will be showing off our orgainised PE storage room, break time equipment, some dances, brain breaks and projects about healthy eating. The Active School Committee members, Fiachra, Maxwell. Emily Ellis, Ruby, Kady, Matthew Love and Isabella, will have a meeting to go through our folder and the work they have done over the past year. We will also be performing our Active School Song, so have a listen and practice! 


 

St. Patrick’s Active School Song

This isn’t lazy what I’m about to say,
Sunshine she’s here let’s go play!
I love exercise and that’s the way.
In the air, I don’t care that’s the way we stay.


Chorus
Because I’m active
Play a long and listen to our Active School Song
Because I’m active
We are Active, we’re St. Patrick’s National School
Because I’m active
Run around and show what Active School means to you
Because I’m active
Run, swim, and play outside if that’s what you wanna do.


They come around playing different sports
Yeah...
Play lots of sports and don’t hold it back
Yeah…
I should probably tell you it’s just fine
Yeah…
Don’t play video games it’s a waste of time
Here’s why






Chorus
Because I’m active
Play a long and listen to our Active School Song
Because I’m active
We are Active, we’re St. Patrick’s National School
Because I’m active
Run around and show what Active School means to you
Because I’m active
Run, swim, and play outside if that’s what you wanna do

Bring me down a football,
We’ll play football all day long.
Bring me down a rugby ball,
We’ll play rugby all day long.
Bring me down a basketball,
We’ll play basketball all day long.
Bring me down a tennis ball,
We’ll play tennis all day long.

Chorus
Because I’m active
Play a long and listen to our Active School Song
Because I’m active
We are Active, we’re St. Patrick’s National School
Because I’m active
Run around and show what Active School means to you
Because I’m active
Run, swim, and play outside if that’s what you wanna do.
