Hurling with Mr Molloy, Mr Ryan and Mr Coskeran continues on Wednesday evenings after school. We have lots of matches coming up so it is important we practise over the holidays.
Yard Games
There is a new schedule of events in the Junior Yard. For the last term every class gets to spend a lunch time on the small pitch. Here we can play two games of soccer. The junior infants were really excited about this. Ms Slattery continues to work with each class on her Smart Moves programme and the boys in first and second is trying to improve their skipping skills.
