On the 21st of March 2019, the boys and girls of 5th/6th class went out to St. Enda’s Park to take part in the South Dublin Inter School’s Cross Country event. Everyone was very excited. The boys and girls left the school at 12.30p.m. Everyone had their lifts there. The boys and girls were really pumped and were roaring to go!
When they arrived, they ran a lap of the pitch to warm up. After, they did a few stretches. The girls had to do 1km and the boys 2km. There were around 400 boys and 400 girls competing. The girls were first and the boys showed them lots of support. Megan, Ella B and Faye were in the top 50 which was amazing! Nevertheless, all the girls did their best and had fun so that’s all that matters. The boys race began at 1.30p.m. Oscar, Isaac and George finished in the top half.
Everyone had great fun and enjoyed the event. Everyone got a goody bag with an energy drink and a chocolate bar. We were unlucky not to win anything. It was a great day and everyone went away happy.
Here are some pictures of the line leaders leading the school in various dances..Hokey Cokey, Head,Shoulders,Knees and Toes, Rólaí Pólaí and the Macarena!
As part of our Active School Week, we had a Junior Active Hour and a Senior Active Hour on Tuesday 23rd October. A range of activity stations were set up and children rotated around the stations. We all had an enjoyable and active time! A word of thanks must go to the Active School Committee and 6th class for supervising and organising the activities.
We were very pleased to welcome Ali to our Assembly. She is part of the Irish Women’s Hockey team who made it all the way to the final of the 2018 Women’s Hockey World Cup. We now feel very enthused for the hockey season ahead!
