Partnerships

​Congratulations to Séamus Callanan and the Tipperary senior hurling team on winning the All Ireland recently. We were very lucky to have Séamus visit our school on October 7th with the Liam McCarthy cup!!!!!! This was Séamus' second visit to our school. He was also good enough to visit us last year as part of our Active School initiative. Séamus gave an inspiring talk to the pupils, answered their questions and signed lots of jerseys and  hurleys!
Huge thanks to Tipperary hurler Seamus Callanan for visiting Lisronagh, chatting to the kids about being active, eating healthily and teaching them some new hurling skills. We were delighted to hear that since Seamus' visit he has been made captain of the Tipperary Senior Hurling team. Well done Seamus! (Visit in Spring 2019)
Soccer training
We are extremely grateful to Seamus Cleary from Clerihan FC for kindly coming to our school to do some soccer training with students from 4th, 5th and 6th classes. Many of the pupils in our school play for Clerihan FC. Students from 4th, 5th and 6th classes will be taking part in the SPAR FAI Primary School 5's soccer blitz in February. 

Gymnastics with Kool School

​Junior Infants to Second class have completed six weeks of gymnastics classes with Niall from Kool School. The children thoroughly enjoyed the classes and their progress was very evident. Thanks to Niall for his enthusiasm and to Pat for having the room in Monroe ready for us each week!

GAA

Many of our pupils participate in GAA in school as well as outside of school. Two local clubs our pupils play with are Moyle Rovers and Fethard. Here are some photos of students that have won competitions with their clubs recently.

Run Around Europe Challenge

In Lisronagh National School, we have recently started our Run Around Europe Challenge. Each class has chosen a city in Europe to run to. It is an excellent initiative that keeps the children active.  We encourage every child to take part. The middle and senior classes run laps of the school and the infant classroom run laps of the yard. Each lap equals one kilometre. So if 24 children run a lap that equals 24 kilometres! So far the infant classroom has run 230km. First and second classes have run 312km. Third and fourth classes have run 312km and fifth and sixth have run 233km.

Wake up and shake up.

​The children in Lisronagh are enjoying our 'wake up and shake up' activities every morning.

Sponsored Walk

Well done to our Parents Association for organising a sponsored walk at Powerstown Park recently. Thanks to everyone who generously supported the fundraiser and well done to all the participants who took part on the day, there was a great turnout. ​

Physical Education

PE Curriculum:
The Physical Education curriculum allows for an hour of physical activity each week for each class. There are six strands in the Physical Education Curriculum. The six strands include; Games, Athletics, Aquatics, Gymnastics, Dance and Outdoor and Adventure. Our school teaches five out of six strands each year.  
Aquatics:
Every January and February 3rd to 6th classes attend swimming lessons in Clonmel Swimming Pool.
Games:
​
Below you can see some photos of the students in various classes learning different skills under the strand of Games e.g. rolling the ball, catching and throwing, travelling with a ball, striking a ball, kicking a ball. These are skills that are transferable across many different types of games e.g. basketball, football, hockey, playground games, hurling, soccer, tennis, rounders etc.

Gymnastics:

The Junior and Senior Infants had fun creating their own sequences and trails in gymnastics. They also loved making 'Mirror shapes' in pairs.

Outdoor and Adventure:

The Easter Egg hunt: The Easter Bunny came to Lisronagh NS and hid some eggs for our excited junior classes to find. They had to follow a series of clues, each clue had a special letter on the back and at the end they had to make a word with all the letters they found. Can you guess what the word was?

Dance

The children learn a variety of different dances during the year. Creative dance is always very popular with the children. We use dance as transition activities in class also. Pop see ko from Go Noodle is a firm favourite. For Halloween this year the classes also learned the Ghostbusters and Monster Mash dances. Fifth and sixth class worked in grouos to perform their own version of Thriller. Durong Seachtain na Gaeilge the children learn some traditional Irish dances like The Siege of Ennis.
