Every Friday in November and December, the whole school go to Skibbereen Sports and Fitness Centre. For the first five weeks they are learning and improving their gymnastics skills and for the final two weeks they will be practicing basketball.
There has been a huge improvement already in their overall flexibility and gross motor skills. Some of them have even mastered (almost) a back flip. They are also learning how to land (or stick it) on their feet after a forward flip.
Here are some videos and photos of what they have been up to...
Some great flipsfrom the senior infants:
They also enjoyed a break at the playground after their first session.
