Our annual school Halloween Sponsored Cycle took place on Thurs 21st Oct. We were so fortunate with the weather after a wet start to the week but on the day it turned out to be glorious and we had some fabulous sunshine ensuring that the cycle would be a great day ahead!

Our pupils from our Junior Room brought scooters/bikes and scooted/cycled around the school yard. They also completed a sponsored walk to Cullen Park and were very lucky to fit in some play time in the park area as well.

Our pupils from the Senior Room had the very serious task of cycling 7k to Ballykane. Everyone with this group also got some much rewarded time in the park also after all their hard work. The children well and truly proved that we are a very active school and faced the task of a long cycle head on!

Everyone headed back to the school then for some much needed refreshments and Halloween treat bags!

The day was a fantastic success achieved only by the help and volunteering of our parents who were road marshals, who cycled alongside our pupils, who walked and supervised our smaller pupils and who volunteered afterwards to provide refreshments. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day, we couldn’t of done it without you.

Thank you also to our parent reps who helped in organising the event and provided the treat bags for our pupils.

Covid19 has hugely impacted fun events and parental involvement in schools and for this reason it was so lovely to have everyone together outside safely and for the children also to enjoy being active!

We are still awaiting all sponsor cards to be returned to the school but once we have a final figure we will let parents know!

Again thank you to everyone for all your help and a huge well done to all our pupils and teachers for taking part in the event.
