Ice Cream Party for Down Syndrome

On Tuesday 27th, we took part in the Ice Cream Party for Down Syndrome, to raise money for the charity Down Syndrome Ireland. We all brought in one euro, and we went over to the hall and had ice cream. Thanks to Mrs Simmons for organising this, and to Lorraine for helping. We enjoyed the ice cream!!

St Clare's Annual Camogie Blitz

Well done to Katie, Dearbhla and Rebekah, who took part in the St Clare's Annual Camogie Blitz in Cavan Astro Park last Friday. St Clare's schools from Cavan, Mayobridge, Newry, Dublin and Keady took part in the blitz. The final was between Dublin and Mayobridge, with Mayobridge emerging victorious. Next year the blitz will be held in Mayobridge.

Sporting Achievements

Well done to Candice and Rebekah, who took part in the Schools Relay Athletics competition in the Peace Link, Clones, recently.

Congratulations to our camogie players Katie, Dearbhla and Rebekah, who played on the St Clare's camogie team all year. The team reached the semi-final of the league, where they were narrowly beaten by Laragh. We will be back even stronger next year!

Also, congratulations to all our football players, Rebekah, Dearbhla, Candice, Katie, Caragh, Eva, Paula, Keeva, and Hannah, who have been training with the school football team, and have won lots of their games.

Keep up the training over the summer girls!

School Tour

On Wednesday May 24th 3rd and 4th classes went on their school tour.
We went to Gr8 Entertainment in Castleblaney, Co Monaghan.
We started off in the huge climbing frame area, and had a turn in the Crazy Golf too. Some of us played soccer and did cartwheels in the indoor soccer area. We sat at the tables and had our snacks.
Then it was time for lunch. We had chips, sausages and chicken nuggets.
After lunch we went upstairs to the bowling and the Lego area. Finally we went to the cinema, where we saw a Toy Story movie and an Ice Age movie.
Then it was time to go. We were given a voucher each, which we can use if we go back to Gr8 Entertainment with our families over the summer.
It was a brilliant tour.

Well done to Corina from our class, who along with some other children from her karate class, took part in a karate exhibition in St Clare's recently.

Gymnastics

As part of our PE curriculum, we are learning gymnastics in class every Wednesday. Our lesson takes place in the hall. We do cartwheels, handstands, balancing, skipping, forward rolls and lots more. Our flexibility is increasing because of all the stretches we learn. Gymnastics is fun!!

Sportathon

The annual St Clare's Sportathon took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 25th and 26th. Activities for senior classes were on Tuesday.
We started off with Orienteering with Mrs Reilly. This was followed by skipping with Mr McGovern in the main yard, before athletics with Mrs Cosgrove. Before breaktime we had Co-operative Games with Mr Walsh.
After break we participated in Gymnastics with Ms Hughes, Ball Skills with Ms E Brady. Next it was our turn to have ice-cream, which we all enjoyed!
After lunch we all took part in Circuit Training with Mr Arkins, Ms Meehan and Ms Phelan. This was followed by Yoga with Mrs Lynch, and finally our day ended with Dance with Ms Gorby.
We had fantastic fun. It was a brilliant day, and all funds raised will go towards buying new computers for the computer room.
We hope you like the photos!!!
