Healthy Eating and Active Living Week in Scoil Barra gets bigger and better with every passing year! What a bumper packed week of fun, excitement, activity and great sport! The pupils of all classes were literally spoilt for choice! All classes put the newest walking trails in the Regional Park to the test. The maps were out in the same venue for the completion of the orienteering course in ideal weather conditions. The smell of the hawthorn trees filled the air and so many wild flowers were in full bloom. Gorgeous summer berry smoothies had to be consumed and healthy lunch options to be tasted! Obstacle courses had to be tackled and skipathons had to be endured! Groovy dancing had to practised and golden miles to be run! All- Ireland boxing champion Tieghan O’Sullivan had to be welcomed home and the food pyramid had to be explored! Fresh daily fruit and vegetables had to identified and eaten! Coordinator of the week’s proceedings, Phil Galvin had us rocking and rolling and grooving and moving happily all week long. The days were glorious and the message was clear-healthy eating and active living is the only way to go!
