This year we have all being using gonoodle within our classes. This has proven to be a popular activity among all the children. Gonoodle is a programme that allows us to have some extra movement in our classroom. From doing exercises to dancing all children get a chance to get moving for 5 minutes during class time breaks. As well as this if we have had a day where we have had to stay in because it is raining then we get some extra time to have a busy break because we might not have been outside yet that day. It is such a good idea and we all love it.

This year Ahane N.S hit The Great Limerick Run with force as we had a huge turn out of 72 children in UL in Limerick on the 29th April. All the hard work with our 'run around Europe' certainly paid off as many of the children achieved personal successes on the day. Joseph Monaghan in 1st class took part in the wheelchair race and managed to come first over all. Dara Kennedy in 5th class was second home in his race and was teh first boy to claim victory.

Juniors, seniors, 1st and 2nd had th opportunity of starting to learn golf this year. Each Tuesday for 6 weeks we got to have a 35 minute session with a qualified golf coach. We learnt lots of new skills such as putting and pitching as well as lots more skills that we had never tried before. We had to try and hit the ball through and to different targets that were worth different points and each week we had to challenge ourselves more. We learnt how to keep our score on different holes. We tried different pars working our way through a par 3 hole to a par 5 hole.
