Virtual Run to Croke Park on National Fitness Day

As part of European Week of Sport, our whole school decided to run the distance from Ardrahan to Croke Park. All the boys and girls in Third and Fourth Class ran laps around our school pitch and we tracked our progress. Each child ran a two kilometre and some even ran more! We had lots of fun celebrating National Fitness Day and reached our 212km target! We were all very tired but we had great fun!

We have also been having great fun with our new set of skipping ropes during PE lessons! We are improving each week and learning lots of different ways to skip using the skipping ropes.
