Hurling

During Active School Week some of the pupils from 4th, 5th and 6th shared the skills and talents they have developed over the years with the pupils from 1st, 2nd and 3rd. It was a wonderful training session and lovely for younger children to get a word of encouragement from the boys and girls who have been so successful on the school team in the past few years.

Get Active....Get Dancing!!!

Here are some pictures of our whole school, staff and pupils out in the summer sun enjoying our Zumba dancing.

Zumba Fun in Killeeneen

The pupils of Killeeneen had a fantastic day last Monday with ever class getting a session of Zumba dancing as part of our Active School Week activities. Thankfully the weather stayed dry and we got a chance to do 2 dances with the whole school out on the basketball court. It was fantastic fun and put a smile on everyone's face :)
