What a wonderful week Active Schools week was for young and old here in school! We all really enjoyed it. As part of our aim to move more, the pupils have engaged with many sports throughout the week – basketball, soccer, dance, athletics and hurling. We even made time for a whole school walk and enjoyed lunchtime games.

All this would not have been possible without the generosity of many people in giving their time to facilitate the school. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Barbara Duffy/Joanne Mulligan (Charlestown Cubs Basketball) Luke Connor (Caisheal Gaels Hurling), Gemma Higgins (East Mayo AC) and Ms.Vanessa Henry (Dance) for helping to make our week more active and fun!

Finally, thank you to Ms.Quinn who coordinated and organised a brilliant week for us all to enjoy. Míle buíochas.

Throughout the week our key messages included the importance of enjoying ourselves, trying out a range of activities and having great fun.

What’s most important for us all is living a very healthy and active lifestyle!
