The countdown is on to the first ever Active Week at Scoil Ghormáin Naofa as we journey towards becoming a recognised Active school in the future.
There is a wonderful timetable of events organised and we hope that some family and friends can join us for some of the activities along the way.
We would like you to join us on some of the following:
- 9am every morning: 10 minute ‘Wake up and shake up’. A teacher will lead this 1o minute activity each morning. We would love the parents to join us as they bring their children to school!
- Monday: Please come along for a Basketball game – parents/teachers versus senior students at 45 pm.
- On Wednesday, as part of both our Green Flag and our Active week we will try to come to school in a ‘Green Way!’ A group of parents and children will meet at ‘The Golden Anchor’ on Wednesday morning and Chiara from An Taisce will help them coordinate their first ‘Park ‘n Stride’. Walk on Wednesday (WOW) will become a regular way of coming to school.
- Friday: Walk a Mile with a Smile at 2pm– this involves the whole school walking the equivalent laps of the field in school to measure 1 mile. This event will be held at 2pm and it would be fantastic if some of you the parents could join us.
- Healthy Lunches – to tie in with healthy living and being active the Active Committee have decided that all children should put a special effort into eating only healthy lunches for the duration of Active Week.
- In order for Active Week to be a success, we need you the parents and community behind us. Remember a ‘Healthy Body is a Healthy Mind’. So join us on our journey towards being an Active School and remember ‘Being Active is Cool. Especially in School’. (Jack O’Gorman – Acive School Slogan)
