Camogie Blitz June 2019 - What a fun day we had in St. Mary's!!

Sports Day 2019 

​

Speech and Language Classes, 1st and 2nd classes held Sports Day on Friday 21st of June.  Junior and Senior Infants enjoyed their Sports Day on Thursday 20th of June.  The children enjoyed an active day where they all took part in a variety of sports and events in the field.

Senior Sports Day - a Super Fun Day!

Rang 3, Rang 4, Rang 5 and Rang 6 teamed together on Friday 7th June for our Senior Sports Day. We created five teams to take part in five energetic activities: relays with Ms. Ryan, camogie with Andy, dancing with Ms. Murphy, fun obstacle courses with Ms. Mulcahy and a relaxing river walk with Ms. Lambert. We finished the day with some extra camogie activities in the field. The weather was perfect - sunny but not too hot - and the variety of activities ensured interest and fun for all. A perfect end to the week and a lively start to the weekend!

Rang 6 learn to 'Cycle Right'

     The girls in 6th Class learned cycling lessons for a few weeks in December and January with Olly and Dónal. The coaches taught us how to cycle safely and the main points about road safety. Before every lesson pupils had to put on a helmet for their safety. We practised in our school yard and played some games and challenges on the bikes. We learned the ready position, how to turn corners and how to indicate. During one lesson we watched a short video on safety and answered quiz questions. The last lesson took place in the car park so that we 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. 

The most exciting day of the year?

Everyone looks forward to the annual basketball match between Rang 6 and the staff!
