A broad PE curriculum is delivered at all class levels.
Each class receives at least one hour of  PE per week.
We wear our tracksuits and runners on PE days.

Our class teachers, with the support of local coaches, deliver all 6 strands of the PE curriculum - Gymnastics, Dance, Aquatics, Games, Athletics  and Outdoor and Adventure Activities 

If you wish to take a look at the curriculum,
it can be found on the NCCA website.





Teachers, it is time to plan our PE lessons!
Don't forget to access the wonderful support materials on the PSSI website!






The Primary School Sports Initiative presents a set of support materials for five strand units of the physical education curriculum: Athletics, Dance, Games, Gymnastics and Outdoor and Adventure Activities. The materials have been designed to assist teachers to implement the primary physical education curriculum. Across four class levels: Infants, first and second class, third and fourth class and fifth and sixth class. A set of   lesson plans for each class level for each of the five above mentioned strands is outlined. They aim to facilitate the attainment of the curriculum objectives and include development and progression from lesson to lesson and across the class levels
Please follow this link to access the materials.

LET'S GET MOVING!!


​​Two teams from 5th and 6th class took part in the second primary schools badminton competition in Baldoyle badminton centre on Wednesday 7th of March. The teams were selected after training sessions and competitions throughout the year.  On the day of competition boys and girls played in separate groups. Each group consisted of four pools and, within each pool teams played four matches.
The girls, Blaithín Flood, Caoimhe McEnerney, Molly Haughton, Lauren Quirke and Fiona Finnegan first played St. Michael's NS.  The girls gave it their best but the much stronger St Michael's went on to win the match 21-1 and 21-5.  The girls played well against their second and third opponents Kilcredan Swans and St Colmcille's NS taking a number of points in both games. The final match against Rafeigh NS was a closely contested affair with the girls almost taking a win with scores of 21-18 and 21-16, alas Rafeigh were the victors.
The boys, Dylan Boylan, Michael Donohoe, Caolan Collins, Thristan Lyons and Jack Smith first played Kilcredan Eagles. The boys came close to earning a draw but the Eagles came out on top with scores of 21-7 and 21-20. In the second match the boys got their draw winning their first match 21-11 and losing a tightly contested second 18-21. The third match against Lyre NS saw the boys produce a determined display taking a victory with score 21-13 and 21-18. In the final match against St Colmcille's NS the boys put in a valiant effort but were unable to seal another victory.
Both teams did the school proud with their effort, determination and great sporting manner which was noted by other schools on the day. Perhaps we have the next Chloe Magee or Scott Evans in our midst.

Gonoodle.com is a great interactive resource that we widely use in the classroom. 'It makes movement and mindfulness an integral part of the day.' (gonoodle website)
​We find it beneficial especially for classroom breaks and during wet play.​
