Makey Makey Fun in G2

We had great fun creating a human piano with a Makey Makey in class today.  Makey Makey is an invention kit which helps turn everyday objects such as metal coins, fruit and even people into a computer keyboard.  We can’t wait for the new kits to arrive so that we can start making our own inventions.

G3 Gymnasts

Well done to the boys in G3 and Ms. Dillane who have been working really hard in P.E. to improve their gymnastic skills.

The boys have worked individually and in groups to improve their balance, movement, flexibility and fitness!

Rio might come a bit too soon for the boys in G3 but if they keep improving we may have some future Olympians in our midst!IMG-20160209-WA0000 IMG-20160209-WA0001 IMG-20160209-WA0002 IMG-20160209-WA0003 IMG-20160209-WA0004 IMG-20160209-WA0005 IMG-20160209-WA0006

Fifth Class Athletic Coaching!!

Our fifth classes recently visited the Lourdes Stadium to take part in some athletics training!! The boys had great fun trying out a number of different events. A big thank you to all the coaches from Boyne A.C. who put the lads through their paces. Watch out Usain Bolt!!!IMG-20160310-WA0038 IMG-20160310-WA0030 IMG-20160310-WA0026 IMG-20160310-WA0021 (1) IMG-20160310-WA0021 IMG-20160310-WA0014 IMG-20160310-WA0001 IMG-20160310-WA0039

Louth F.A.I 5-a-side Competition

Two teams from sixth class represented our school at the recent Louth F.A.I 5-a-side soccer blitz. Our teams, managed by Mr. O’Reilly, performed superbly.

Our red team topped their group with an unbeaten run while our green team were very unlucky to loose out on second place in their group by a single goal.

Our red team qualified for the final stages of the competition and finished in a very respectable third place overall!

 

Well done to all the boys who took part. They represented our school brilliantly and played each game in a spirit of sportsmanship and fairness!!
