Santa Dash
On Friday December 16th teachers, staff and students completed our first Santa Dash! We had a wonderful time walking in the winter wonderland and had fun singing and dancing along to some Christmas songs. We also enjoyed the elf hunt and counting how many elves we could find along our walk. When we returned to our classrooms we stayed active and enjoyed doing two Christmas dances!
Merry Christmas from the Active School’s Committee!
Halloween Walk 2022
On Friday 28th October staff and students dressed up for our Halloween walk which took us around the school for junior classes and around Sallins for the senior classes. It was a beautiful sunny autumn day and fun was had by all!
Feet on Friday
Students have also resumed ‘Feet on Friday’ where they are trying to walk, scoot or cycle to school every Friday. This is a great initiative to get active outside of school and to also reduce our carbon emissions. We thank everyone with their continued support with ‘Feet on Friday’!
Get Active for 10
Each day classes will get out of their chairs for 10 minutes to do some fun exercises and physical activities. We have seen many classes utilising great online resources to get active such as Go Noodle, Cosmic Kids Yoga and online workouts.
