Running in first class!
First class have have been working really hard over the past few weeks to master their running technique. Today they started assessing each other to make sure they ran with their arms at 90degrees, eyes looking forward, thigh perpendicular to the ground and landing on the ball of their foot.
Junior Hurling Blitz
On Wednesday 7th June the hurlers of 3rd and 4th class travelled to Dolphin Park to participate in the Kevin’s Junior Hurling School Blitz. 5 other schools competed in the competition – Saint Catherine’s, Scoil Iosagáin, Francis Street, Saint James’s and Griffith Barracks. Each and every one of the 26 St. Clare’s players performed excellently on the day, representing the school with a fantastic display of skill, determination and discipline. We were unbeaten in all 5 of our games, conceding an overall total of just 4-1. The cup was proudly carried back to Harold’s Cross. Well done boys!!
Run a Mile in Junior Infants
We have been doing ‘Run a Mile’ this year in Junior Infants. We have been running on Friday mornings and have been doing a great job remembering to bring our boot bags. We have great fun and Ms Shaughnessy and Ms O’Leary said we are definitely getting fitter! Here are some pictures of us doing ‘Run a Mile’ and PE.
Relays
We had great fun in first class doing relays today on the field. Everyone managed to keep a hold of the baton!
