Climb the Heights Skipping Challenge
Active School Flag encourages children to get skipping together to see which peaks of Europe you can reach. One skip= 1 metre. This challenge is a wonderful way of integrating P.E with SESE. The students get rewards when they complete a multitude of peaks.
As a whole school, we recently ran an active school’s slogan competition. Each class came up with super ideas and we are very proud of their participation. Our slogan is now “Be Fitter, Feel Better”. We also designed this superb slogan poster that is displayed throughout the school.
Our active schools committee is made up of two members from each class. Our members are Kyle, Abbie, Dónal, Amy, Amy, Aaron, Mary and Ronan. They are working tirelessly trying to keep our school fit and healthy.
