We have had a very active term in First Class! At the beginning of the year, we focused on the Games Strand of the curriculum. The boys developed the fundamental skills of kicking with the help of Mr. Coleman and their Gaelic Football coach. We are now focusing on the Athletics Strand of the curriculum and the boys are developing their throwing skills. We have had a lot of fun completing obstacle courses and team based races that help us practice these skills!
This year we are pursuing the Active Schools flag so we are trying to stay as active as we can throughout the day. We take movement breaks between lessons, dance along to GoNoodle songs and take part in Fun Runs in the yard. The boys in 5th and 6th Class have been trained as leaders so that we can take part in yard time games. We have really enjoyed all of the activities that they have done with us so far!
