We learn so much about Physical Education in our school. Below is a short outline of some of what we are doing....
We teach the strands of the Pysical Education every week in school. The strands are Gymnastics, Athletics, Games, Dance, Aquatics (2nd to 6th classes only) and Outdoor and Adventure Activities.
We teach P.E. for an hour a week and we usually give some discretionary time to being active too.
On 21st November 2018, Mrs Skehan went to a HPS workshop in Kilkenny in Mental Health and Wellbeing – Healthy Teacher Healthy Pupil.
On 7th of December, Mrs Skehan went on an orienteering course – Ready To Go Orienteering in CBS Highschool, Clonmel. We plan to work more on this next school year.
Ms Lambert attended a Health Promoting Schools Workshop in February about being an Active School.
On February 14th Liam Clohessy from PDST gave a workshop to school staff in gymnastics. He did some demo-lessons during the day and then whole staff training after school. Staff learned all about teaching the fundamental movement skills, gymnastics and we also worked on our whole school plan.
On the 10th of April, Ms Kennedy and Mrs Skehan are going for training in “Move Well, Move Often,” developing the physically literate Pupil through the lens of Fundamental Movement Skills.
