Movement Breaks Movement breaks are a very important part of the school day. The children enjoy Go Noodle, Yoga and Running breaks which are timetabled everyday. This year we have also began using the Bizzy Breaks from the Irish Heart Foundation. Go Noodle Yoga Running Breaks/ Run Around Ireland Stability Balls We are very lucky to have the privilege of taking part in the Active School pilot for "Active Sitting". We use the stability balls whilst completing work but we also utilise these in our movement breaks!! We are so excited to get started! Active Homework We have Active homework every Thursday. Have a look at an example of the homework we complete. Active Playground Active break and lunch times are encouraged. Our active yard monitors ensure that pupils in their playground are actively engaged at all times. They are well equipped with games and playground equipment to encourage everyone to keep active! We even use our outdoor classroom seating to keep active and enjoy the beautiful outdoors!! https://twitter.com/i/status/1379175681163202562 Actively scooting to school 2021 Click on the link below to see how well we can scoot! https://twitter.com/i/status/1374813961003094022 Active Easter/ Walkway launch celebrations 2021 Click here to watch as we launched our walkway.
