Smart Moves
We run the Smart Moves Programme in school throughout the course of the school year. This is a motor skills development programme and each class receives 15 minutes of instruction once a week. The focus of this is balance linking activities, methods of travel, send and receive, dodge and chase. A selection of children are also taken for sessions Thursdays and Fridays.
Above is an example of an Smart Moves activity with Rang a 4, Rang a 5 and Rang a 6.

Children from 4th-6th took part in the FAI Primary School Soccer Tournament on March 12th in Midleton FC. They were very successful and won 4 out of 5 matches. They got through to the next round played on April 12th. Though they didn't win overall they displayed fantastic soccer skills and scored many goals. They should be proud of themselves for representing the school so well.
