Mindful movements

This week we practised mindful movements with Michelle. It was a great relaxing and focused activity that helped us to concentrate our minds and bodies.

10 at 10 for Operation Transformation

Today we had great fun celebrating '10 at 10' for Operation Transformation! All of the children in the school took part in activities such as hip-hop dancing, skipping, jogging, soccer, Irish dancing and lots of other fun exercises! We spent our 10 minutes exercising in the Jungle Gym! Look at all of the energy we used and the fun we had! We were very sweaty and hot after and we were very happy too!

Operation Transformation Walk 2017

We had a very exciting start to our week this week! On Monday, all of the boys and girls from our school and from Merlin College joined together to take on a walking challenge! Some of our mums, dads, grandparents, sisters and brothers joined us too and shortly after 9.00, over 800 of us took off walking around the park in our local area! We had great fun warming up in our basketball court first and got a great kick out of exercising in our local area!

Hurling

We love doing hurling each week with Kevin, our hurling coach. We learn new skills each week and play a game before we finish up, go practise our new skills!

Active Schools' Week

All of the boys and girls participated in lots of physical activities as part of Active Schools' Week this week. We had gymnastics in the hall on Monday, dance activities every day and fun activities outside and inside all week!

Active Schools' Week

This week in Merlin Woods Primary School we celebrated Active Schools' week. We were involved in lots of different activities, from obstacle courses, to football, hurling and soccer sessions, to playground game challenges, to supporting our school hurling team! We had so much fun and used so much energy this week to promote Active Schools' Week! 

Trim Trail

Over the past few weeks we have been doing the Gymnastics strand in P.E. and last week we got the chance to practise the skills we learnt on the Trim Trail in our school playground. Take a look at how well we can balance on hands and feet, travel in different ways and be real gymnasts!

Hurling training

Today we had hurling training in school! We practised our ground hurling skills. Look at how we are improving our grip on the hurley, our swing, our strike and our block!
