Our president, Michael D Higgins!
Our senior classes have been taking part in the 60 minute challenge over the past year.
WHO recommend that children should exercise at least 60 minutes per day. Active children focus and learn better, present fewer discipline problems achieve
higher test results and enjoy school more. All children in St Clare's are encouraged to exercise as much as possible
We love our PE lessons, especially when we are doing circuits!

He showed us how to fit and tighten our helmets. Then, it was time to cycle! Cycling is brilliant fun, and is such good exercise too. We can't wait for our next lesson.

What is it?
Run for Fun has been set up by the Active Schools Committee to motivate children to be more active in St Clare’s. It involves all children having 5-10 minutes extra playtime to walk, skip, jog or run laps of the yard.
How does it work?
Teachers have selected one break or lunchtime slot for their class every two weeks. On that day, the class can go out before or after their break to exercise for 5-10 minutes. Run for Fun can be a teacher led activity or pupils can be assigned to set sensible running, jogging and walking paces. Children can count their laps and track progress over time.

Our School Tour
Our school tour was to the fantastic Lochcrew Adventure Center. The sun shone and we had a great time there. We went rock climbing and soaring on the zip line. Best of all we got really mucky! Soon hunger struck us so we had a mouth-watering barbeque. A huge thanks to the teachers and the bus driver.

Check out what 4th class have to say about swimming class!
Today we had the last of our swimming lessons at the pool. We went by bus today as it was a bit frosty. We have really enjoyed our swimming lessons, and we are sad that it is over!
A lovely day for a snowy stroll
Room 7 had quite the walk to swimming this week. Just as we left school, a blizzard of snow hit us. Thankfully we were all heavily clothed with coats, hats and scarves so we carried on and it was quite a lot of fun. Fingers crossed it doesn't snow next week.

Irish Dancing
Ms Costello showed us Irish dancing. We did a fun dance.
We split up into 5 groups of 4 and you always put your right foot first when-ever you are dancing
The dance was called Walls of Limerick. We all loved it.
We all did this before in fourth class and some of us went to Irish camp and did the dance. Irish dancing is great everyone should try it. We did stage 1 to stage 4. If we got a chance again we’d say all of us would do it.
