ASF - March Activities

In March, building on our fitness from our February Daily Mile, we embarked on a 'Run around Ireland challenge. Initially we hoped to run to Waterford City and back but such was the success of the challenge that we ran to Limerick city from Waterford and then back to Killusty. We totalled a distance of 265km.

We are using an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of the distance run by each child every day .

ASF - June Activities

During the month June, the ASF committee, with the help of the other children, created active school zones. Children took turns playing at the different stations and activities were changed regularly.  
Also in June, children in the Senior Room took part in a Gaelic Football Blitz. Local schools in the area participated and great fun was enjoyed by all the children.

Swimming continues every Tuesday.
