As part of working towards our Active School Renewal Flag, we took part in a running challenge for four weeks. During this time, we built in a running break into every day. Each class was given a 15 minute slot to run laps around the yard. 3 laps= 1km. It was a brilliant way for the students to learn about some of Ireland’s most famous landmarks and ideal for bringing learning outdoors. Each class displayed their map of Ireland’s famous landmarks and ticked them off as they completed the distances to the different landmarks.
It was fantastic to see lots of the children running/jogging laps at lunch time. Our Active Homework challenges have been based on the strand of Athletics. Well done to our amazing Active Committee who created the videos for the Active Homework each Thursday. The videos were shared on Seesaw for the students to enjoy at home. Check out some of the videos below. You might want to try the challenge again. Well done everyone.
