FLOOR IS LAVA CHALLENGE - ACTIVE SCHOOLS
Scoil Mhuire’s latest and most demanding Active School initiative is ‘The Floor is Lava’ challenge.

Now, their physical strength, balance and determination are being challenged in The Hanging Bar contest, The Yoga Block Hold and The Standing Balance Beam. The children are timed at each challenge and an average time awarded. The child with the highest score will be deemed The Champion. Watch this space for the names of The Champions at each class level.

Active Schools
We are focusing on the Fundamental Movement skill of ‘Balancing’. Balance is essential for all physical development and is a prerequisite for almost every movement skill. We are practicing balancing in different ways and on different parts of our bodies as Mr. Connolly’s class are demonstrating during a Gymnastics lesson. Sometimes we balance on different parts of our body taking our body weight solely on our hands and other times we balance objects on our body and control our movement.

Green Schools Action Day
We had a fantastic fun filled day in Scoil Mhuire, Ballymany at our Travel Action Day which is part of the steps towards our fourth Green Flag. The committee organised and hosted the day which began with our WOW (Walk on Wednesday) and then every member of the school taking part in the ‘Cha Cha Slide’ dance wearing funky footwear.
The day continued in the small hall with an exhibit of ‘things that move’ which each class made: paper rockets, hover boards, paper aeroplanes, magnetic cars just to name a few. The children really enjoyed seeing how these items moved. Transport facts were displayed with photos of how transport has changed over time. The Instagram booth was a great success.
After lunch Brian McGrogan talked to all the students about the greener and healthier approach to travel to school. All the children participated in fun exercises. Prizes were given for the best class for the ‘Big Travel Challenge’ and the best funky footwear. A great day was had by all.

Active Schools Update
We have big goals for our Active school initiative for 2018. We are hoping for a happy, healthy and active new year.
Our new initiative for January is co-operative games. This means that every class will decide on a game to play every day it will mean that we will be even more active on yard than we already are. Classes have all sorts of different games on the go from ‘Sharks and Fish’ to ‘Flush the toilet’. It is great to see everybody in a class involved in the same game and having fun together whilst running around. We will all continue our circuits at small breaks too.
Our Active Schools Committee suggested that we re-examine our healthy eating policy and refresh the importance of it in all of us. All classes will be studying healthy eating in science this month and hopefully it will encourage us to ‘Eat Smart, Move More’. ‘Eat Smart, Move More’ booklets from the HSE were distributed to each child as well as food pyramids stickers. ‘A Guide for Parents’ booklet was also sent home to each family.
