Active School Week

 Active Week is next week! 

The children will need to bring in €10 for the week of activities. 

If anyone has tennis rackets and golf clubs the children can use, please bring them in with names on them. The children will also need to wear sun cream every day, and bring extra water. The children can wear the school tracksuits/shorts all week. 

Reminder that Sports Day is on Friday. 

We are extremely grateful to the coaches who are giving up their time to come to our school for Active Week!!!

GAA Easter Activities

Message from Trim GAA:

Join Meath Coaching and Games for our GAA 'Easter Expo' - a schedule of coaching sessions for all ages. Week 1: 30th March – 1st April Week 2: 6th April – 8th April.     

The content will be available on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week over the Easter holidays. We will kick off activities with a one off, fun filled live coaching session on 'Microsoft Teams' ... but everyone in the family is welcome to join in. 

Follow the link for signing up - https://bit.ly/3d0eZp0 

Each morning all Go Games players (age 5 – 11) can access a special coaching video from our Games Promotion Officers with a specific football and hurling skill as well as developing movement skills which they can take to practicing in their own space. Each afternoon there will be a live athletic development workshop for 13 – 17 year olds where players can get individual instruction and feedback from our highly qualified and experienced coaches over 'Microsoft Teams'. This, along with ‘Wall Ball’ activities to develop skills, should give Youth Players the best chance to be “Ready to Play” when we get back to the pitches.

Well done to our football team who started the year with an excellent display today!

Kiltale came out as winners, but the children in 3rd-6th class played with fierce determination and brilliant skill. The defending was excellent and well done to Ella, Oscar and Adam on their fantastic scores too!

Training at big break on Thursday and Friday (wear PE tracksuit these days), match v Clonard next Tuesday.

Active School Week-Friday

Friday was our last day of Active Week this year, and luckily the weather held out for us!

We launched our Daily Mile initiative. Every day in June we will run, walk and jog around our walkway for 15mins to start off the day!

After this the classes had time with their teachers to play different games. Here are the Infants working together to get their pirate crew across the water to their treasure island: 

To finish off the week, we had our annual Sports Day. In order to make it more inclusive this year, we did fun stations instead of just races.

Many thanks to our P.A. for helping out on the day and for the fruit, water and ice cream truck!

Thanks again to all of our visitors this year for Active Week! 

Active School Week-Wednesday

It was a busy day for Active Week today! We had a lovely start to the day with Relax Kids with Lisa. The children did games, stretching, mindfulness and relaxation. 

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we didn't get to go to the Pitch and Putt, but we did manage to do tennis up at Trim Tennis Courts, which is an excellent facility. 

We also had circuits in the hall! 

Tomorrow we have Kickboxing/Karate Kenpo and Soccer...many thanks to the parents who are giving up their time to come and coach us for free! We are very grateful! 

Active School Week-Tuesday

Juniors-2nd Class had a busy first day of Active Week, while the Senior Room and Third Class enjoyed their school tour.

In the morning, the Junior Room started off with a disco!

Then Edel came in for Zumba. Edel has come in every year since our first Active Week! For queries contact 0861080913.

Neil from Trim G.A.A. had his last session of the year with us: 

Due to the weather, our Daily Mile launch was postponed and instead the children all came into the Junior Room for a workout, dancing, mindfulness and a flag design activity!

The final activity was badminton with Seamus and Ruth Quinn. Thank you both for coming in and teaching the children some badminton skills!

Children can wear tracksuit all week and please ensure they have enough water sent in with them! They will need coats, golf clubs, tennis rackets and pillows tomorrow if possible please! 

2019 Active School Week

Active School Week is next week! Many thanks to all of the volunteers who will be giving up their time to come into our school and coach us in the various sports, especially our parent volunteers!
