Here in St. Teresa’s National School, all of our classes have enjoyed Active Schools week. Last week, each class had the opportunity to take part in a number of fun sporting activities. We were lucky enough to have two fun sports days for all of our classes. Over the course of the week, we had Amie Duignan in for dance lessons, Glenn Baskett in for Tag Rugby, Carol Ann in for Gymnastics, and Madeline Doyle in for balance bikes with our Sonas classes. The boys and girls of St. Teresa’s also enjoyed a visit from the ice cream van, not to forget the treat of having Active Homework all week!! We are very grateful for all the teachers who helped organise football, uni hoc, and also handball tournaments over the course of the week. We all had great fun and cannot wait for next year already!!
It is a great game that encourages team work and passing! There was great fun had in the sun!
Well over 100 children cycled to school today!! Some came on scooters, some with stabilisers and lots with bikes! All wearing their high vis jackets and helmets.
There was great excitement as they set off from the Community Centre led by our 6th class pupils.
As they arrived at the school they were greeted with lots of applause and cheers by children and staff!
It was a great way to start the day... by getting active and helping to reduce the carbon emissions in our environment!
Thanks to all the parents who made the extra effort to park and cycle, who cycled themselves and encouraged their children to cycle. Also, thank you to the staff who helped supervise the route!
