Gaelic Football 💚

Another of our Fit Thursday activities was Gaelic Football which Mr McCormack helped us with.

GB Athlete visit

Louise Renicks came to visit us and put us through our paces in a fitness challenge. Later she spoke to us about healthy eating and her judo successes. She showed us her Commonwealth Gold medal! Later at assembly we had the opportunity to watch her in action and also ask her some questions.  Some of our classmates were then awarded for their fundraising efforts.  Well done everyone!
