The riddles that have been placed on our school’s Active Walkway are a fun way to turn on the thinking caps!

Our school’s active walkway is a fantastic resource. The boys really enjoyed solving the word puzzles.

The whole school are really enjoying the active breaks challenge. Every day we are being active and doing the Croke Park movement break videos.

This week the boys enjoyed using the Active School Walkway. At each of the 14 stations around the school grounds there was a Dingbats puzzle to solve. The winner was the pair that solved the most correctly. It was a fun activity and got everyone moving! The boys are looking forward to doing it again soon.

The active commitee were busy this month promoting our Active Advent calendar. They went around to each class in the school to announce and demonstrate the active movement for the day. It was a great success.

There was a fantastic turn out, on 15th October, at our weekly WOW ( Walk on Wednesday ) from Cuala for National Walk to School Week. Well done boys!
