Since Christmas there has been an increasing emphasis on improving fitness throughout the schools.  Selection boxes, pringle crisps and all those lovely treats we had over the holidays are long forgotten.  Every day, weather permitting, we head for the yard and run, skip, hop or limp our way around and around the yard.  Each day we try to better the number of laps we completed the previous day.  One of the teachers has a beady eye out for potential sprinters and cross-country runners.  Shouts of ‘Athletics Tuesday night, 7.30pm’ have been heard !  We expect our trophy cabinet will be bursting with our pay off, Sciath na Scol, Cork City Sports, Soccer, etc.
