Athletics Fest

There is usually great excitement in September about the SuperValu Athletics Fest organised by Sligo Sport and Recreation Partnership. This year it was slightly different as it was a stay local event.

Dancing with 6th Class

We have had two socially distanced dance classes with 6th class. Some of 6th class made up the dance taught it to their class and they then taught it to us. We had great fun out on the playground all dancing together.

Children from Junior Infants to 6th Class jumped for height and for distance. Great use was made of everyday items to create jumps and to mark distances. Some excellent jumping techniques were used.   More sports day photos https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-kicking/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-throwing/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-egg-and-spoon/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-races/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-running/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-obstacle-course/


Virtual Sports Day

Virtual sports day saw the children participate in a variety of activities that incorporated different skills. Thank you to the parents for the photographs and reports. There were some unconfirmed reports of thumb holding during the spud and spoon and corner cutting in other races but these are yet to be verified. The children adapted many of the ideas and added their own events.

Virtual Sports Day Races

Three legged races proved to be popular as did the wheelbarrow. Some children used different equipment to attempt the traditional sack race – the box race and the plastic bag race. We also had the silly dress up race.   More sports day photos https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-jumping/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-kicking/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-throwing/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-egg-and-spoon/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-running/ https://ransboro.ie/2020/06/17/virtual-sports-day-obstacle-course/
