Fun in our PE class

Every Wednesday we have a visit from 4 lads from Galway Community College who come to school and help us with our PE classes.

We love these classes and teacher does too.

Look at what we did today:

Leigh, Glenn and Ryan helped us play lots of fun games like Simon Says

Teddy Bear, groups of....

Relay races with bean bags on our heads,

and on our shoulders

jumping in hoops on one leg and on two legs

and finally, a great game of Duck Duck Goose!

Thank you so much for a great PE class today.

Action songs and folk dances

We enjoyed a great game of Cat and Mouse in PE today, before moving on to lots of different action songs and folk dances.

Do you know any of these?

Maybe we can teach you some

Hokey pokey

One finger one thumb keep moving

Brother come and dance with me

Come to me, come to me

Steve's songs: Following directions

Tar anseo, tar anseo

Games and tennis skills

We had fun today playing games in PE

We had a great game of Green Light (for go) and Red Light (for stop)

 We also practised our tennis skills:

 balancing the ball on a racket,

 dropping and bouncing the ball, catching the ball and hitting the ball.

We are improving all the time.

Senior infant sports day

We had a wonderful sports day, in glorious sunshine. Well done to all our trophy winners who were amazing in their races and to all our medal winners who had such a great morning taking part in all the competitive and fun races.

Field games

Now that the weather is nicer, we can play field games on the grass.

We had lots of choice of games.

We could play with Frisbees, lacrosse toss, horse shoe toss, skipping and various types of bats and balls games.  We really enjoyed our morning on the field.

PE stations

We had a lot of fun at PE today when we tried out working at different stations.

We tried blindfold toss,

skittles,

ribbon balls,

spinning plates and foam hoops,

and quoits.

It was hard to decide which activity we all liked best!

Sports Day practice

We had fun practising for our sports day.

We had fun with the eggs and spoons and the sacks.
