ASW 2021

MINDFUL MONDAY - 

We kick started our Active School Week with Yoga on Monday with Catherine Mc Gagh. 
It was our first time having a yoga coach in and the children really enjoyed it.
Catherine demonstrated how to do various poses such as the "Mountain Pose," "Cat/Cow," and "Elephant Ears," using different levels.
We chose yoga as Mindfulness is becoming hugely important with young people today.

TRY-IT-TUESDAY 

 On Tuesday, we had Emer O' Mahoney in for a range of fun activities with the children. Emer (who is also a parent to a student in our school) teaches P.E. in the AVS in Donegal town and she had loads of fantastic ideas!
The junior classes played games and did simple gymnastics and balancing activities, while the senior classes participated in co.operative games such as Tug o' War and Pass the Hula Hoop. They also made letters and shapes with their bodies. 
The children really enjoyed trying out new games!

WALK ON WEDNESDAY 

On Wednesday, Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class enjoyed a lovely walk around Mundy's field.
Second and Third Class took part in a historic walk around Ballyshannon. They passed lots of famous sites such as the house William Allingham was born in, Assaroe Waterfall/The Path of Heroes, The Barracks, Owen Roe's Bar and many more.
The junior classes were very lucky to have a parent (Donna McGowan) and a grandparent (Bernie McNeely) in to do a fun aerobics routine with them!
The senior classes participated in Pickleball with Michael McDaid and they thoroughly enjoyed it!

TEAMWORK THURSDAY (SPORTS DAY) 

On Thursday, we held our Annual Sports Day. Junior Classes took part in running races, sack races and egg and spoon races. Junior classes also played co.operative games such as Turtle Tag and Corners before finishing up with an obstacle course. 
Senior Classes were divided into eight teams and took part in a variety of events across in Mundy's Field. 

FIFTH AND SIXTH CLASS CHILDREN - POINT KICKING CHALLENGE 

​The events were divided into three categories: Track Events (100m sprints, 400m races, relay races, egg and spoon races and sack races), Field Events (penalty shootout, point kicking, ball throw, obstacle course and target shot) and Team Events (Soccer, Gaelic and Tug o' war). Our Sports Day was a huge success with students and the variety of events meant that everyone could take part and enjoy themselves. 

FUN FRIDAY! (14/06/19)

On Friday, the junior classes were treated to some fun games in the hall, led by Sylvester Maguire. Some of the games included: Ball Tag, Stuck in the Mud, Cone Relays and Squirrel's Nest. 
The senior classes had their active school tours today with second to fourth classes heading down to Sligo to take part in a range of fun activities using inflatable equipment in Just 4 Fun. In addition to having a fun day out, two euro from every child's fee went towards Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.
Fifth and sixth classes went to Corralea Activity Centre in Enniskillen where they participated in four outdoor activities. The children did two wet activities in the morning (canoeing and using the waterpark) and two dry activities in the afternoon (whereby they could choose from: archery, climbing, orienteering and mountain biking). Everyone had a fantastic day and it was a great way to end our Active School Week!
