Active Schools Week in Junior Infants

21st Jun 2020

Hi girls,

Well done to everyone who took part in Green Schools Week last week. It's great to see all the wonderful activities you did and how you are all doing your part to take care of the world around us.

This is your last week in Junior Infants. I can't believe how quick the year went by and how much you have all grown. You were a fantastic bunch and I loved every minute with you all. I am so proud of each and every one of you.

I want to say a big thank you for all the work you have done at home over the last few months. I know it wasn't easy but you all did brilliant. I think it goes without saying that you have fantastic parents who helped you with all the wonderful activities you have been doing, so well done to all the amazing mums and dads too.

This week is Active Schools Week. Mrs Cawley and Ms A. Ryan have organised some lovely activities and suggestions for you to try at home. Check out their post on the link below. Make sure and join Ms S Ryan with her 'Morning Madness' dance video.

Slow things down and try some yoga with Cosmic Yoga.

After all that exercise, sit back and enjoy one of my favourite stories.

My challenge for you this week is to create your very own obstacle course for your family to enjoy. Take a good look around your house to see what objects you can use. Make sure you get all your family to take part. :)

I'd love to see what you get up to this week and your amazing obstacle courses, so send me your pictures to lmocklercashelgirls@gmail.com

If you have any concerns or need to ask me anything in the coming weeks, you can contact me on the above email also.

I can't wait to see you all again in September when we return to school. I am counting down the days already.

I hope you and your families have a fun-filled, fantastic summer.

Stay safe and see you in September.

Lots of Love

Mrs Mockler x
