Edel Murphy, PDST PE advisor visited our school on the 6th of December, 2022. The main focus of the visit was to advise the teachers on how to provide meaningful inclusion for all children during PE lessons. The children had lots of fun playing the games Edel did with them. It was also very beneficial for the staff to see Edel in action. She had some great tips and shared lots of resources with the staff.
Liam Clohessy from the PDST came to our school on the 27th of February, 2020. Liam took the classes for PE on that day and did some outdoor and adventure activities with the children. The children thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and the teachers also gained some new ideas in that particular strand area.

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.

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. Junior Infants to 2nd class enjoy attending gymnastics classes with Kool School every January and February.
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? We have an Easter Egg hunt every year in Lisronagh NS.
Athletics:
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 groups to perform their own version of Thriller. During Seachtain na Gaeilge the children learn some traditional Irish dances like The Siege of Ennis.
During Active Week each year we invite a coach from Kool School into school to do some modern dance with each class.
