Outdoor Pursuits

Why I liked Outdoor Pursuits:

I liked it because we got to do archery ,paddle boarding,canoeing and raft building .
I enjoyed paddle boarding because you got to run across the boards and fall in.
I liked the raft building because my friends were with me.
It was a really big challenge to build the square.

Our Active Week

Active Week at St. Saviour's N. S. 


We held our Active Week from 8th to 11th May 2012. Each afternoon the children were involved in  P. E. activities . The focus of the week was to  allow each child to be more active according to their ability and to have fun together! Judging by the smiles on the childrens' faces they all enjoyed Active Week.


Tuesday :
On Tuesday there were Whole School Fun  Relay Races . The senior pupils really enjoyed 'helping 'the Infants and everyone had great fun. After the races the groups enjoyed football, obstacle course & stations.    

Skipping is  lots of fun once you get the hang of it !!
















Wednesday :
Wednesday was Skipathon Afternoon  .There were four skipping stations and two rest areas. The children had great fun trying to beat their own records and trying to skip in with the long rope. Some parents & teachers even joined in the fun. The children collected sponsorship and  raised 1040 euros for the Irish Heart Foundation. 

Skipping keeps you fit!

 

Skipping is  lots of fun!

Thursday:
On Thursday third to sixth classes went to Greystones for the  East Wicklow Primary Schools Athletics . Despite the rain and the mud the children had lots of fun competing in sprint & distance running, relay races ,long -jump  , high -jump  ,ball throw and javelin and tug of war. There was a high level of participation and our school won 6 medals. Well done everyone! 
















Back at School Infants , First & Second classes were having great fun doing orienteering in Parnell Memorial Park and having a Teddy Bears ' Picnic . It was all great fun !




































Friday :
On Friday afternoon there were games  in the schoolyard for the Infants , First and Second Classes . The senior classes went our to Avondale to do orienteering with Larry & Chris. It was great fun learning how to pace ourselves , finding the markers and reading the maps. We worked as teams in a sort of relay and had to find the codes attached to the markers. By the end of the day all of the children were tired but everyone agreed that Active Week was a great success.

We had lots of fun on our first day of Orienteering at Avondale !
