Active Schools Week took place in our school during the week of the 10th of June. The Active Schools committee came together with Shona to decide what activities we would do for Active Schools Week and on Sports Day. Some of the activities we decided to organise were rugby, hurling, dance, yoga, and many more. Several coaches and parents also got involved in the activities during the week. We also did Wake Up Shake Up every morning with the whole school. During Wake Up Shake Up we did activities like movement skills and exercises. We also organised two Sports Days for the school. The first Sports Day for the senior classes was on Monday the 17th of June, and the second Sports Day for junior classes was on Wednesday the 19th of June. On each Sports Day the sixth class pupils organised many stations for the rest of the school to participate in. The stations included three-legged races, wheelbarrow races, dodgeball, basketball, beanbag throwing, obstacle courses and more. There were also sprints and long races at the start of the day. Overall, we had a great time during Active Schools week, and our favourite parts included the races and the rounders station.
