We have GAA training with Andy Griffin from St. Mary’s Club on Fridays. This is what Tanisha Adurkar in 1st class had to say about hurling.
“Hurling is good for your health.
Hurling is good for energy.
Hurling is so much fun!
The coach will do fun hurling.
You can do hurling at school, at the park, in your garden, in your back yard.
You must wear a helmet for safety.
You should always be safe when you play hurling.
Hurling is great exercise!”

“We’ve just finished our eight weeks of swimming in Clonmel Pool. I was in Survival One. My teacher was Alesia O’Kelly. She taught us how to swim with clothes and take off clothes while in the water. She also helped us make floaties with our clothes. We practiced doing the help position, which we can use if we ever get stuck out at sea. We jumped off diving boards. I think it’s great because people like me could not swim in 2nd class and we are now in survival. I would definetly recommend going there for lessons and fun. It’s also a great way to exercise!”

Rang 6 learn to cycle right!
What is Cycle Right?CYCLE RIGHT is the National Standard for Cycle Training. It provides training to ensure that cyclists know how to cycle safely. CYCLE RIGHT is produced and supported by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, the Road Safety Authority and Cycling Ireland. The girls in Rang 6 were delighted to avail of training from two coaches from Cycle Right.
Here is what Áine from Rang 6 had to say:
'The girls in 6th Class learned cycling lessons for a few weeks with Ollie and Dónal. The coaches taught 6th Class how to cycle safely and the main points about road safety. Before every lesson pupils had to put a helmet on for their safety. 6th class practised in their school yard and played some games and challenges on their bikes. They learned 'the ready position', how to turn corners and how to indicate. During one lesson pupils watched a short video on safety and answered quiz questions. The last lesson took place in the car park so that pupils could practise real right and left turns and get used to the road markings.
Everyone loved the lessons and learned a lot about how to cycle safely.
