‘Climb the Heights’ Skipping Challenge
Today was Team Work Thursday! We participated in the ‘Climb the Heights’ Skipping Challenge. We set a target that the whole school worked together on throughout the day to achieve. We counted how many skips each pupil completed and then we had a look to see how many of Europe’s mountains our school climbed. We managed to climb most of Europe’s mountains even Monte Bianco in Italy (4,810m) and Mont Blanc (4,810m) !! Below are some of the results.

Be Active Programme
The children in 1st class started the Be Active After-School Activity Programme this term with Ms Desmond, Ms Harvey and some parents from our school. The Be Active ASAP introduces children to physical activity in a safe, familiar, structured setting. The programme aims to improve the attitudes of both children and their parents towards physical activity. You can find out more information on www.beactiveasap.ie .
