Junior Infants’ Active Break Challenge
Junior Infants have been participating in the ‘Active Break Challenge’ led by Mr Gibney.
It’s a great opportunity for Junior Infants to have a ‘brain break’ to enable them to focus and participate in learning activities.
Students pick from the ‘active brain break box’ which includes plank, stretching, jumping jacks, dancing and brain break chase videos.
The children love this as a transition from one lesson to another and it greatly improves their engagement in lessons.
Thank you to Mr Gibney for leading this initiative!

We made this beautiful Gratitude Tree as a whole school and all the students really enjoyed creating it together!
