Teachers v Students Dodgeball

The teachers challenged the 6th class children to a game of Dodgeball on Tuesday afternoon. Despite the student’s best efforts, the teachers were the winners on the day. All the children had great fun cheering on their teacher.

​Ms Lennon, Ms Cullinan, Ms Griffin and Ms Barrett’s class had fantastic fun with Brian from Tyrrelstown Karate Club who kindly came in on Monday and Thursday to offer the children some taster sessions. As well as warm-up and stretching activities they were introduced to a variety of Karate kicks, strikes and blocks.
Karate is excellent for increasing aerobic stamina, improving muscular strength and flexibility as well as enhancing balance, agility and co-ordination. Karate also improves our mental health. As it challenges the brain, it improves focus and concentration. The children reaped all of these benefits as well as having great fun with Brian who is a very dedicated and talented instructor.
If any children are interested in developing their Karate skills further TKC is always open to welcoming new students.
Check out their website for more details: https://www.tyrrelstownkarateclub.com/

​Active Reps and Helpers Picnic

Our active reps and Ms Cullinan’s class helped out with many of the activities during Active Week such as manning stations in Sport’s Day and teaching the children on yard the exercises for Boot Camp. They did an amazing job and had so much fun. They set an excellent example to all of the younger children and really impressed all the teachers with their patience, organisational skills and enthusiasm. They enjoyed a well-earned picnic treat on Monday morning after all their hard work. Well done everyone!
