The children really enjoyed another Yoga session this week. These weekly Yoga sessions have helped the children to enhance their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness while also improving their concentration and sense of calmness.
Many thanks to our wonderful Parents Association who are funding this activity.
We were delighted to welcome Damien Hicks from Munster Rugby for a series of Tag Rugby training sessions. The children were soon practicing key rugby skills and learning the rules of tag rugby.
The children treated us to some wonderful singing, gymnastics, story-telling, signing to music, magic, instrument playing and even show jumping as part of Togher’s Got Talent. This annual event is a fun, engaging way for the children to show off something they are good at, practice performing, stand in front of an audience (or send a video) and receive positive feedback for their efforts. Congratulations to all the children that took part.
The children had a fantastic time developing their running and dodging skills during Physical Education this week.
The children were delighted to welcome Boggle to Togher N.S. Boggle offers the chance for children to become circus performers. In short interactive hands-on entertainment the children explored juggling, uni-cycling, plate spinning, diabolos and clowning.
All the children had a wonderful time with Boggle. A huge thank you to Roger from the S.C.P. for facilitating this mobile circus.
Congratulations to Kelly Ann Buttimer who has been selected to play for the U13 West Cork team.
We wish her the very best of luck.
We had a fantastic day at the Sports Day in Kealkill. Over 500 children gathered to run, pull, hop, throw, wheelbarrow and dance at this wonderful event. A big thank you to Kealkil N.S. for organising this hugely enjoyable Sports Day.
Capture the Flag is a firm favourite here at Togher N.S. and the opportunity to play Capture the Flag in the Sports Field is just irresistible.
The Sports Field behind the school is such a wonderful facility. We like to take every opportunity to get down to the Sports Field while the weather is fine. The children really love Physical Education on grass.
Some extra photos from our Sports Day. The children enjoyed a wide range of activities – obstacle course race, tug of war, spud and spoon race, capture the flag and volleyball.
