Our u13 boys and girls travelled to Peake Villa to participate in the u13 FAI Soccer Blitz. They played 3 matches. Despite their excellent effort, unfortunately it was not their day. They drew 2 games and lost one game. Well done to everyone for their excellent sportsmanship.  

We have been enjoying excellent gymnastics lessons with Niall from Kool School since Christmas.  The children have been performing tumbles, cartwheels and doing handstands during the lessons. They did lots of movements and sequences including the crab, butterfly, plank, 'rock and roll' and the basket, to help strengthen their core and enhance their flexibility. The children have had the opportunity to practice their balance by walking on beams and standing like a flamingo. Each of the lessons were fun and engaging for the pupils and they were fortunate to have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of gymnastics while having fun with their friends!
