2nd Class Football Blitz
Well done to all the 2nd Class children who took part in the football blitz last week. Lots of great skills were on display and huge fun was had. A big thank you to Ms O’Riordan, Ms Moran and all the teachers involved. And of course huge thanks to Alan Courtney and Phillie Wolfe from Moorefield GAA for their continued work coaching our footballers!
Playground Leaders
Breaktime is the perfect time for children to be active. Our infant classes get great support from the Playground Leaders from 2nd Class who help them to stay active and lead them in a range of activities and exercises. All 2nd Class children get to have turns at being ‘Playground Leaders’, a role they take the role very seriously.

Outdoor and Adventure Development
This year the whole school has been working on developing the ‘Outdoor and Adventure’ strand in PE. We’ve had all sorts of fun orienteering lessons as well as outdoor activities on our school walkway, lessons involving walking and outdoor running challenges. We’ve especially worked on linking PE with other subjects to provide lots of active learning opportunities in subjects such as maths, geography, history and science. We even had a few Easter Egg Hunts! It’s been a real team effort from all the teaching staff and the Active Committee with new resources and ideas and it’s been hugely involved by all.
Moorefield GAA and Scoil Mhuire Junior
We are so lucky to have such a successful partnership with Moorefield GAA which has gone from strength to strength each year.
Coaches from the club regularly come in to work with our classes developing football and hurling skills. Coaches from Moorefield even help train our 2nd Class footballers. Thanks to all in Moorefield for all your work with the school.
Lots of our pupils are members of Moorefield and attend the club’s ‘Mini Moores’ training on Saturday mornings. We highly recommend it for all our pupils! Find out about Moorefield’s ‘Mini Moores’ here.
