As part of our Active Schools Programme and the TV show “Operation Transformation”, all the boys and girls from St. Finian’s took part in 10 minutes of exercises at 10 o’clock on Friday the 10th of February.  This fun initiative was carried out by most primary schools in Ireland. The aim was to have every boy and girl in the country being active at the same time.All the teachers took part too. It was great to see everybody exercising and having fun! Well done everybody!

Well done to all the boys who represented the school at the Cumann na mBunscoil 11 aside blitz in Phillipstown on Tuesday afternoon. The boys did not go through unfortunately but they certainly gave it their all and put in some fantastic performances, including a powerful victory over Dromin N.S. A special well done to some of the boys in 3rd class who made their debut for the school team and played very well. The team will hopefully be out one last time this year in a friendly match against our local rivals St. Colmcilles.

Well done boys.

Well done to all the classes who took part in our Active School Challenge! The challenge was to see how many jumping jacks each class could do in the 4 weeks leading up to Christmas.

Each class was given a target number of Jumping Jacks to achieve and all the classes reached and surpassed their target.

The class with the most jumping Jacks was 3rd and 4th who managed 59,920 jumping Jacks.  Great job everybody!
