RSA STREETSCAPE: We had a visit  from the Road Safety Authority in September. The 'Streetsmart' team came to teach us about how to stay safe on our roads, using an interactive 'Streetscape Map'. See the link for more details: http://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Road-Safety/Road-safety-for-kids/StreetSmart/. It was a very successful workshop and every class from Junior Infants to 6th took part. The children enjoyed it immensely and learned so much from it. It was a fun and activity based day. All children received high-vis jackets and other things to promote and encourage walking, cycling and staying safe while staying active. Have a look at some photos from the day.

The children in 1st-6th class have committed to the 'Laya Healthcare Super Troopers' pilot programme this year. This programme is designed to encourage children to learn about a healthy lifestyle and increase their physical activity. Children will be given an activity journal to fill in each night after completing their tasks. We will fill in surveys throughout the year and hopefully see improvements all the time. Enjoy! We would appreciate if parents could take a minute to fill in the following survey as part of this programme.

  • Include and encourage your classmates in all games and activities.
  • Do at least 15 minutes physical activity after school every day.Record in  your Super Troopers journal.
  • Bring in any cups/trophies/medals that you win and let us know about any sporting achievements.
  • Make an effort to walk/ cycle to school. If you live far away you could try walking some of the way.(Park and Stride).
  • Keep an eye out for our recommended playground games each fortnight.
  • Put all your great ideas into the Active School Flag Suggestion box.
  • Bring a healthy lunch with lots of fruit and vegetables to make sure you have lots of energy for activities and feel good.
  • Keep an eye on this blog and the active flag noticeboard in the hall for upcoming events and news.

We decided at the beginning of this year to apply for our first Active School Flag. We are all very excited about the process and are looking forward to a fun filled year of activity. We have discussed some ideas as a staff, informed parents and explained  the Active School Flag to our classes. We also explored the ASF  website which is very helpful. You will find a link to this on our homepage and in 'Useful Links'. This week we are collecting ideas for our Active Flag motto in the suggestion box and taking letters of application from anyone who would like to be on the ASF committee. Well done to all on the enthusiasm shown so far.
