Active School Week 23rd - 27th April 2018
We had a very enjoyable action-packed school week in Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa.
The week began with 3rd-6th classes spending a day at the National Sports Campus, Blanchardstown. The children got the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities, as pictured below.

Meanwhile, back in Kilcloon, the children from Junior Infants to 2nd class enjoyed sessions in basketball, soccer (Shooting Stars), Zumba dancing and orienteering. Pictures below.
Before each school day started, the children assembled in the yard and took part in lively 'Wake Up-Shake Up sessions (Movement to Music) , led by two parents.
All children ran a 'Mile with a Smile' each day, and this culminated with a 'Super Hero' run on the Friday. Well done to all classes on their commitment to the run, despite some inclement weather.
Health and Wellness Talk
Local Blackhall Gaels and Meath player Donnacha Tobin paid a visit to the school as part of ASW. He spoke during assembly about the importance of sport in our overall well-being and happiness, about the friendships that are formed through being a part of a team, and he encouraged the children to eat healthily. After assembly Donnacha kindly shared his trade secrets and skills with some classes!

Active week homework challenges were completed by some classes, where children spent an extra period of time being active at home.
ASW came to a close in spectacular style when the children from 6th class took on the might of the teachers in a basketball and soccer play-off! Despite the excellent performances of the children, they didn't stand a chance against such a talented and skillful staff!!
