Active Week in Stratford kicked off on Sunday, 22nd April when Ms. Finnegan, Mr. McGoldrick and the TYs participated in their An Gaisce walk in Glendalough. Throughout the week, there were many, many different activities done by all the classes.
Every year had their own challenge! 1st years went spinning in Swan Leisure, 2nd years did Zumba dancing, 3rd years swam a mile in Swan Leisure, TYs went on a hike and did the NeoClassical walking tour of Dublin, 5th Years ran a mile and 6th years did a yoga class in Swan Leisure.
On top of all these activities, at form time there were videos about the importance of sleeping, eating and resting to take in. It was a fantastic week and now we're all looking forward to Sports Day!
