ACTIVE HOME WEEK (April 27th-May 3rd)
Despite the school closure due to Covid 19 our pupils enthusiastically took part in a very energetic and successful Active Home Week. Parents and pupils were informed about the Active Home Week via Seesaw and the school website. Teachers distributed the Active Challenge Charts to their pupils via Seesaw. Teachers sent ideas for keeping active via Seesaw such as Dance tutorials. Mr Hughes set some throwing challenges for the girls and Ms Scally put Yoga activities on our Hollypark at Home section of the website. The girls amazed us with their energy and their commitment to keeping active whilst at home. We were delighted to award them with their Active Week Certificates at the end of the week and we were very grateful to all our parents who assisted us greatly from home by encouraging the girls to be active and by helping to return the Active Challenge charts.
We also encouraged the girls to keep up with their Active Breaks throughout the whole of lockdown. Teachers provided links to websites such as The Irish Heart Foundation, Go Noodle. 10 as 10, Cosmic yoga, Diversity (Dance Troupe), Joe Wicks and GAA Primary Challenges.
