Scoil Chrónáin Naofa, Dromakeenan

We were very lucky to be visited by Noreen Nevin from Tipperary Sports Parnership today. She is loaning us PE equipment to be used in our Physical Education classes. Noreen demonstrated to the teachers and 6th class children how to use the equipment efficiently. We look forward to using it in the coming weeks. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode()... 

As part of our aim to receive our first Active Schools Flag this year we began doing 10 minutes of exercise every morning at 10am. Every class from Junior Infants to Sixth class is taking part and we are all really enjoying it so far. As the days and weeks pass, the routines are getting harder and harder but our fitness levels are gradually improving! Every night we receive Physical Education homework and are following the ‘Super Troopers- Get Active’ initiative. We hope all children and parents are benefiting from the increased levels of fitness. #gallery-2 { margin:... 

As part of our Physical Education and trying to improve our balance and co-ordination, Aoibhneas Class 1 has taken part in some enjoyable lessons this week. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */  

We began dance on Friday 19th January with our dance teacher Aoife. We are really enjoying our classes so far and have performed a number of routines to date.

We are aiming to get our first Active Schools Flag this year. A survey has been sent to all parents and we hope to have all the surveys back by Friday 12th January.  

All classes took part in very successful gymnastic classes taught by Ms. Wyer. This is Ms. Wyer’s third year teaching the gymnastic classes in the school and she commented that the children are improving their balance and coordination every year. Keep up the good work! #gallery-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php...
