Active Schools Week 2022

This week in St. Ultan’s it’s Active School Week.

The overall aim this week is for children to be more physically active and to try new activities.

Children will be encouraged to take part in daily activity challenges.

Many teachers might do PE everyday this week. Some other things different classes might do include;

- Beat the Teacher Challenge

- Learning about the Food Pyramid

- Learning about healthy diets, reading labels and the amount of sugar in certain drinks/foods

- The Keepie Uppie Football Challenge

- A project on a sports star

- Learning about Growth Mindset

Have a look at the Cherry Orchard Park Running Routes in the pictures below, if you are looking for activities to join in on and challenge your children in the afternoons also.

Have a look at our Living Gallery

All of the classes in St. Ultan’s get a chance to display their beautiful and creative artwork in our ‘Living Gallery’. The other children come to visit and admire the art in the Living Gallery. They can also leave compliments after their walk of the gallery.

Right now ‘Múinteoir Molly’s 1st Class’ are having their turn. Have a look at some of their lovely art, and the fabulous compliments some of the children have made.

Santa Stops at St. Ultans

We were so lucky to have a special visitor stop off today to deliver presents to the boys and girls for all their hard work on their Christmas Windows. All the boys and girls in Junior, Senior and Early Years Classes got a special delivery today.

Santa’s visit was so quick we didnt get many pictures, but here are a few from M. Lisa, M. Mairead, M. Mark & M. Angela’s classes
