We have an active school walkway route and we use it to promote physical activity and cross-curricular learning, for example learning sight words, grammar, our tables and spellings on the way around.
All classes have regular movement breaks throughout the day, for example GoNoodle, astro laps, active walkway, working standing up, Drop Everything and Dance & Busy Breaks.
The children have access to lots of equipment and playground facilities during break & lunch times. The smaller children really enjoy the hula hoops and skipping ropes and enjoy making up new games with them.
We have pupils from 6th Class who help out in the Junior yard as playground leaders and they are very good at helping them learn new games.
We complete many challenges during the year, for example the ‘Active Break Every Day’ and 'Run around Europe Challenge.'
Our School incorporates Physical Activity into annual events, for example Halloween parades & dances, St. Patrick’s Day parade and our Christmas Concert.
We invested in a lovely new speaker and now we get to dance along to the music while on yard.
Scoil Naomh Fursa is a mixed school with five mainstream class teachers, two Special Education Teachers and our new special ASD class which opened in September 2024.
