Sports week 2020
The boys have been very busy displaying their athletic skills for our Sports Week (at home) 2020. Please follow us on twitter @stmarysjuniorb2 to see our daily challenges.
Walk to School Week 2020
Green Schools have an idea to celebrate Walk to School Week 2020 with a twist! We are asking students, family and staff to take a walk, scoot or cycle into the great outdoors and discover what their 2-5km has to offer. This is a unique time in our lives to fully explore and quietly observe our natural surroundings.

Green Schools- National Biodiversity Week
The boys of St.Mary's are spending more time than ever outdoors, connecting with nature. This week as part of National Biodiversity Week Junior Infants explored the topic of mini-beasts. Biodiversity just means all of the different types of living things in a certain place. This includes all of the different species of flowers, trees, grass, insects, fish, birds and mammals in one spot. On Monday the boys completed a mini beast Maths hunt. Next they had a mini beast hunt outside. And the last task of the week was to create some Mini -beast Art. Well done boys. If you would like to look for other ideas around the theme of Biodiversity there are great ideas on the Green school website https://greenschoolsireland.org/green-schools-stay-home-biodiversity-week-6/
Active Home Week
Monday 27th April – Friday 1st May was due to be “Active Schools Week” #ASW.
As schools are closed, schools around the country will instead take part in the #ActiveHomeWeekChallenge.
“Children and young people need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.”
(World Health Organization)
The Active Home Week Challenge is to do 60 minutes of physical activity every day. We suggest you do 4 activities for 15 minutes each. Activities like going for a walk & cycling your bike count as physical activity so make sure to count these activities if you do them. Remember to follow HSE guidelines when exercising outdoors. “Exercise outdoors - within 2 kilometres of your home and only with people from your own household - keeping 2 metres between you and other people” (HSE)
Your teacher will send you suggested activities & links. Keep doing any of the activities you enjoy. Please feel free to share any extra activities you come up with at home. Keep account of your daily activities & send back to your teacher. We would also love to see any pictures or videos of you getting involved in Active Home Week to share here on the school website & our Twitter @stmarysjuniorb2
Email pictures & videos to p.moloney@stmarysjuniorboysnenagh.com
