Virtual Sports Week 2020

VIRTUAL SPORTS WEEK 2020

JUNE 8th - JUNE 12th

As we head into June, we are changing our Distance Learning Programme to reflect the time of year at school, when we would all be introducing extra aspects of art, PE and Project Work to build on the work of the year past. At our recent staff meeting we decided to do this in three themed weeks beginning next Monday June 8th with PE Week. So the majority of the assigned and suggested Programme of Work this week is our

Virtual Sports Week!

Compiled by Ms Cowhig and Ms Rooney, with added help from Mr Doyle, the Virtual Sports Week Programme is for all classes in the school. The programme is based on an excellent resource made available by Sligo Education Centre and adapted for our school. It consists of two downloadable pdfs which are linked on this page. One is the flyer that has all the relevant information and links you need to access the Sports Week and the second is the record sheet that you can use to record each child's progress during the week. We would also ask participants to take photos of their efforts and send them on to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and hopefully, we can make a gallery of the activities that happen during the week. Have a look at the great suggestions in the programme and try as many as possible! We are letting you know earlier this week, as you may need to source some extra resources to complete certain tasks and these may need to be made, created or bought over the weekend (especially the treats!!) Some teachers may suggest some other minor assignments for the week (keep up reading or reflection/project work) but the main body of work this week is PHYSICAL!! Hopefully the fine weather will continue to oblige and we can have a successful, if unusual Sports' Day for 2020!!

Thanks to the three teachers for making this possible!

Enjoy!!

Tidy Towns and Countrysides!

Lockdowns and Social Distancing are the new norm at the moment, but thankfully the weather has been super and Tidy Towns have taken the opportunity to keep the town tidy again! Some lovely pictures of the Tidy Towns group out cleaning on the Cork Road end of town last week (and enjoying a deserved break!)

Hard at work!

Ice-Cream Break (always important!)

End Result - looking good!

Meanwhile, up in Graigueheshia, the Bourkes were making sure their countryside was looking its best by removing a serious amount of litter!!

Maith sibh, uile!!

A great example of what a community achieves! Let's all resolve to do our bit in keeping our area tidy this summer!!
