Sports Skills Challenges - Week Four

19/5/2021

 
Fundamental Movement Skills and Gaelic Football activities were the order of the day for Week Four of our Sports Skills Challenges. All of our pupils from Junior Infants up to 6th Class have shown wonderful engagement in all of these activities so far and we're pleased to report that the skill of kicking off both left and right legs has shown a great improvement! 

We are also delighted to integrate our weekly activities with the "Let's Play In May" initiative currently being promoted by Munster GAA Coaching and Games Development and Tipperary GAA Coaching and Games Development in primary schools throughout the province.
