First Class estimated and measured the length, width and height of the classroom using one metre balloons. Children work together to estimate how many balloons were needed for the length, width and height of the classroom. This was a fantastic hands-on activity that the boys and girls enjoyed!

Active School
The Active School Flag process is a Department of Education and Skills initiative supported by Healthy Ireland which aims to get schools more active throughout the school day and within the local community. We are aiming to achieve our third Active Flag this year.
The children worked together on our Active School Flag slogan.
Jump, hop, run, swim.
Our Active School is like a gym!
