Pedal-Powered Cinema March 8th(Parent's Association)

We've been working so hard on becoming an 'Active School' this year. Our parents association are joining us in helping to achieve our first active flag and have come up with a fantastic idea for their main fundraiser. It is a sponsored cycle and pedal powered cinema. The idea is to get as many adults (parents, teachers and community members) to do a sponsored cycle to raise money for the school but all the power generated by the cyclists will run the cinema for the evening. We really can't wait. Tickets available every morning this week in school. Please visit the Parents Association section of the school                                  website for more details or click here.

What a fantastic week for everyone. We held a hugely successful multi-cultural week full of activities and fun events.  As part of our Active Flag initiative we had a sports day where different countries raced against each other in an obstacle course. We had Poland V Romania in the fourth classes, Georgia V China in 6th, Egypt V Lithuania in 1st and so on. Our ASF committee came up with the course, set it up, showed the younger classes a how to do it and tidied up afterwards. Well done everyone. We all really enjoyed it. Check out our pictures below!

We've started our term of gymnastics this month with Dylan and Mairead.The whole school gets gymnastics for half an hour either Tuesday or Thursday. Everyone is really enjoying it. We're learning lots of new things and also how to use the equipment properly.
'We in room 9 have great fun each week doing gymnastics with Mairéad our gymnastic teacher. Have a look at our photos to see our box jumps, tumbles, balancing and straddles'. See slideshow for photos of Room 9 and                               Room 15.

There are different, fun activities to do each nght and we want to make a big effort for the new year. This is Week 14. Check your journal each night and don't forget to get it signed at the end of the week. Next week you can also fill in your sleep diary to see if you're getting all the rest                                you need for an active, healthy lifestyle.

We've decided to continue with swimming this year due to the success of the initiative last year with 3rd and 4th classes. We are on week 3 of an eight week programme. This is part of the aquatics strand in our PE curriculum. We go to Finglas Leisure Centre and the children really enjoy the lessons. They have fantastic instructors and it's wonderful to see the progress they make over the eight weeks of lessons. It's a fun filled hour and fantastic exercise too!!

For the month of January we set up a sports achievement display on the wall beside our ASF noticeboard. Children from all over the school brought in their photographs with medals and trophies won in a wide variety of sports. It's clear we have many budding stars in our midst and we are really keeping active outside of school too through Irish dance, hip- hop, ballet, GAA, kickboxing, swimming, gymnastics, basketball and much more. People also brought in photographs of well known sports people they have met. Katie Taylor, Bernard Brogan and our local star from Na Fianna -Jonny Cooper all feature on our                              wall of fame.. An inspiring lot!!!  Thanks so much to everyone who brought in                                                   photographs. Lots of people also brought in trophies and medals and discussed these in                                  class.

Pupils, staff committee members and Ms Burke all have these badges. We are going to wear them to ASF meetings, while we are doing our spot checks in classrooms and at all events connected to our Active Flag so people can easily identify us.
