Health and fitness announcement from the North Pole – Fógra sláinte ón bPol Thuaidh

toonvectors-12039

As part of a new health and fitness programme for the reindeers, Santa has requested that, this year, children would leave out special reindeer food for the reindeers on Christmas Eve. This food is, of course, highly magical but, in this instance, it is also very healthy. It forms part of the new special healthy diet for reindeers in the North Pole who, unfortunately, have not been eating so healthily in recent months. So, management in the North Pole suggest very strongly that everyone should leave out at least one sachet of this special reindeer food to help the reindeer have enough energy for their arduous journey around the whole world.

SN an Inbhir, has been specially chosen as one of the few schools in the country who can supply this food, because of its track record with keeping fit and healthy eating. Because we are currently working so enthusiastically towards our third Active Schools flag, we have been deemed worthy of this great honour!

If you would like to join our campaign to keep the reindeers fit and healthy for their big night, please buy at least one packet. They are for sale in local shops, through the school at only €3 each. Mail orders can be placed by cheque, credit card or chimney post (+P&P) to SN an Inbhir, Barr na Trá, Béal an Athá, Co. Mhaigheo, Ireland or by phone to +353 (0)97 84532.

Gaelic football

IMG_0147

My favourite hobby  is Gaelic football. I like Gaelic because it’s an Irish sport and it’s good fun playing it.

I play with Kilcommon too. I’ve only been there two years, and so far we have won 2 cups, 1 shield and 1 plaque. The shield was for winning national school competition  and the plaque was for the Knockmore blitz for U10’s.

When we won the National school shield it was class! We beat Bonniconlon. It was a brilliant game. It was good beating them but better lifting the shield! And the score was tight all the way through the match.

The plaque we won wasn’t as good. It was for coming 4th in the whole thing but it was better than nothing. But when we were going home we had no plaque… only our medals. The man in charge forgot to give us our plaque! When we were half-way home the man rang John Walker, our manager, to explain that he forgot to give us the plaque.

We were kind of annoyed that we didn’t get it there but we were happy to have won it. I picked this as my favourite hobby because I have played in all of these games and scored a few goals and points, and have won trophies with Kilcommon!

On Wednesday two players from the Mayo Minor team came to our school and showed us a big cup that they won. It was a very big cup. Their names were Finan & Hugh. We all
got a chance to hold the cup. It was big but it was light. We got a picture with them.

Scileanna Rugbaí

Today we started to learn how to play rugby. It was a little bit hard for some people but it was easy enough for me. First we played stuck in the mud for warm up. The games were very fast played because the chasers were very very fast. After we learnt how to catch the ball with the w shape. Your hands wrap around the ball when it touches them. It’s like a magnet. The guys names were Paul,Aiden and James. They were very nice to us. We were tired after so we played tired soldiers. You lie down and don’t move or you’re out.It was fun. John Anthony won he was keeping very very still. We played catching the ball after. They are coming for another few weeks. I am looking forward to seeing them again and learning new skills.
