Dare to Believe - Olympic Movement Break Challenge
On the 13th of November, each class in St Paul's began the Olympic Movement break challenge. This challenge consists of 5 -6 minute videos every day, each hosted by a Team Ireland Olympic Hopeful athlete. Lots of different sporting activities are represented including rugby, running and even break dancing! The children are really enjoying the challenge.
Halloween PE lessons
We tried out some new seasonal games this Halloween: Zombie Tag and Trick or Treat. As you can see, the children had great fun with these games.
Jingle Bell Jog
We ran our annual Jingle Bell Jog on the 18th of December. Unfortunately the field was too wet to use so we ran around both yards and the perimeter of the senior school also. It was super for burning off some extra energy!
Run Around Europe Challenge
We were a day late beginning our Run Around Europe Challenge as the last part of our Walkway was still being built. It is ready to go now and everyone is enjoying being able to run the whole way around the pitch without getting wet runners and socks!
By the end of our first week we have run 854kms! All the way to Paris and beyond.
The weather wasn't doing us very many favours over the four weeks unfortunately but we did our very best. We went out on Lá Glás and for our last day of the challenge we went over to O'Toole's and cheered each other on as we did our laps around the astro pitches there.

Easter Egg Hunt
On Thursday the 21st of March, the children had a surprise visitor to the school. There was great excitement when the children went out to the yard to discover the Easter Bunny! He had spilled his eggs all over the yard and needed a lot of help picking them up. When the children returned to their class, they were rewarded for their efforts with an Easter egg of their own to bring home. Many thanks to the Parent's Association for organising this.
