First and second class have had a busy few weeks back at school. We’ve settled well in to our new routine and have already been hard at work on many different projects!

It’s here! The school has made another wonderful achievement after receiving an Active School Flag. This is a very highly sought after award and everybody at St. Finian’s is very proud. An Active assessor visited St. Finian’s on Tuesday morning and all the active reps along with Mr.Shevlin showed him all our active efforts to date through, pictures, displays, videos, PowerPoints and active demonstrations at break time. He was amazed at all the activities we had in place at school. A big thank you to all the people who helped out with the initiative, from the hardworking pupils, teachers, coaches and of course the parents who helped greatly with our ‘WOW’, ‘Be Active’ and ‘Get Fit in February’ programmes. We will formally present and raise the flag at our Graduation Mass day on Wednesday 24th of June!
Super job everybody!
“Super Active St. Finian’s!”
Yesterday we went on our school tour to Tayto park. It was an absolutely fantastic day. We had so much fun. First we went for a walk around to see all the different animals. Some of our favourites were the peacocks, the meercats and the leopards.Then we had a tour of the factory and learned about how Tayto crisps are made. After our delicious lunch in the restaurant we got to enjoy some of the rides and activities. We went on the climbing wall, the shot tower and the air jumpers to name but a few. Needless to say we were all exhausted after such an exciting day!
We had so much fun during our Active Schools Week. We took part in lots of events like a dance off, races, group activities, ‘Bling You Bike’ and we even ran a marathon between us!
Here are some pictures of us getting out and active during the week!
For the last few weeks we have been learning camoige and hurling skills. It has been brilliant fun learning about the games. We might even have some future super stars in our midst!
