Gaelic Football 💚
Another of our Fit Thursday activities was Gaelic Football which Mr McCormack helped us with. We loved how in the game you can pick the ball up and also enjoyed charging at our classmates to snatch the ball first. To play this sport you have to be fast, strong, good at ball skills and work well together!

Outdoor PE
Fun in the Gym
To round off our learning all about gymnastic skills including space, balance and movement, jumping and rolling, we had time using our growing skill on some apparatus. We had to be careful and safe, but had so much fun! Look at these photos of our amazing gym work…
