3rd/4th: Today we got active by playing Dodgeball!! There were two teamson either side and a line of balls in the middle. We had to run to the middle and try and grab a ball. Then we had to try and knock our opponents out. It was such fun. Everyone was encouraging us and it was exciting!!
5th 6th: We played three games today. First of all we started with Tag Rugby, the game of the month. Then we played Dodgeball and finished off with Fruit Salad!! It was brilliant because they were energetic games and the games were fun.

We were really lucky in fifth and sixth class because we got to do some cycling at school!!! Gerry Butler from Mayo County Council came out to the school to show us how to be safe on the roads. It was brilliant because we all feel safer on the road now. We learned about hand signals and road markings. As we are also chasing our active flag this was the perfect activity to get active !!!

Athletics in Claremorris on PhotoPeach

Gymnastics
All our pupils have access to gymnastics lessons as part of their Physical Education Curriculum. The school has secured the services of gymnastics instructors for a number of years now.. It has been a great pleasure and a learning experience for everyone working with them. Gymnastics is a foundation sport for all other sports. This is because it develops agility, balance, coordination and speed (the ABC’s of athleticism) . These physical qualities are inherent in all sports.
Athletics
Pupils from first to sixth classes will attend Athletics, in conjunction with Mayo Partnership in the ‘state of the art’ facility in Claremorris. The instructors there will put the children through their paces. With so much emphasis at present on children’s health and the importance of physical activity , we can understand how important physical activity is to the overall well being of our children. Children participating in these lessons truly benefit. This exposure to athletics encourages some of our pupils to become members of the athletic club. They report how enjoyable involvement is. The benefits translate into the classroom.
Swimming
Every year we go swimming as part of the children’s P.E. curriculum. Pupils from 2nd class to 6th class inclusive attend the pool in Claremorris. The children have a great time taking part in this activity.
