Active School Week-Tuesday

We had another busy day today in the sunshine! Please remember to put suncream on and to bring in plenty of water this week!

Trim Pitch and Putt Club kindly opened up for us and we had great fun playing golf!










Jane McSherry is a coach for Navan Rugby Football Club and gave up her day to do training sessions with each of the classrooms.









Paul, who has represented Ireland in Frisbee tournaments, and Daithí from Uproar Frisbee Club (Dunshaughlin/Maynooth) came in with Emer to teach us how to play Frisbee. They did a fantastic job teaching us about this sport!








Thank you to Fiachra Reilly's grandparents and the other members of Wellington Bowls Club for showing us how to play bowls in the halla! Anyone interested in starting bowls can drop into the hall Monday and Thursday 8.30pm or call Olive on 0851383059 or Joe 0876353729.

Active School Week-Monday

Today we kicked off our Active School Week! All week there will be different people coming to teach the children new skills and about different sports. We hope this will encourage everyone to be more active and maybe begin new activities after school too! 

 To begin, we had Hugh and Stephen from The Badgers hockey club in Navan. They were brilliant at teaching us hockey skills. 

Edel came back for a visit to the school and did some Zumba with everyone. 

Ms. Keane's sister, Emer, and Terry from Dunshaughlin Basketball taught us some new skills and played basketball games with each of the classrooms. 

Jane from Aura Trim was in doing some activities in the sunshine!

Sinéad Ryan, an Olympic Weightlifter and former Irish Rugby player, showed us her muscles and challenged everyone with some of her training exercises!!!


Thank you to everyone for giving up their time to come in to us! 

Here are some photos from today:

























Don't forget suncream and plenty of water!!!
