Look at what Ms. Tangney challenged us with today – an obstacle course:
This week has been a great week. Every day was exciting and we loved celebrating our new flags. Well done to everyone!
**Have a fantastic weekend**
Dance!
We moved and grooved today. Brian and Emily from Rostrevor Dance School were fantastic teachers. Thank you both!
Today we tried yoga. We did lots of different poses like: Earth, Downward dog, Cobra, Cat and Rooftop.
Some children also brought in prizes they have won being active.
Well done to everyone today who took park in yoga.
**Dance tomorrow**
Today we celebrated earning our Active flag and third Green flag with a special assembly.
Our special guest was Ken Doherty. He was very impressed that we are such a fit, active and green school. He told us that when he started to play snooker he had to stand on a biscuit tin as he was too short to reach the table. He also told the children that his mum has put his trophies in the attic as he had too many to dust!
We have lots more active fun to come this week. Stay tuned!
The rain did not hinder our plans for day 1 of Active Week. The day started off when we all took part in parachute games. We had great fun.
During the day Ms. Mulkerrin played some music over the intercom. It took us all by surprise. We downed pencils and copybooks and took to our feet and danced to the beat of Operation Transformation.
Tomorrow is a very important day in St. Louis Infant School. Thanks to the hard work and participation of all the children and staff, the school has earned an Active flag and Green flag. We’re having an assembly to celebrate and the Irish Champion snooker player Ken Doherty will be helping us to raise the flags. Stay tuned for an update.
Junior Infants have looked at and learned all about the 1c, 2c and 5c coins in recent weeks. We have set up a shop in room 3 complete with cash registers, shopping baskets, things to buy and of course lots of money. They boys and girls are becoming very good at paying for what they want using the correct coins. They will be a great help to mums and dads when paying for the shopping!
The Garda Mounted Unit. Finn and Oscar (the horses) and the gardaí came to St> Louis Infant School. We got to ask lots of questions. We petted the horses and brought them some apples as a treat. It was so much fun. Thank you for visiting us.
