Hi Boys, You'll be glad to hear that your homework is a little different this week because it is Active Week. Normally around this time of year we would be doing extra PE and having sports days. Therefore, I'm swapping your written work that I had planned for this week to an Active-Home Challenge instead. The World Health Organisation states that adults and children alike need 60 minutes of exercise each day. So this week I want you each to try just that! I want you to motivate yourself to keep active at home by trying out NEW activities, taking on CHALLENGES and having FUN with family activities. You could learn a new skill, improve on a skill, take on a challenge, create a new game, participate in family fitness activities or do some online exercises. To complete this challenge you will have to find four different ways of being active every day, making sure that this adds up to 60 minutes, or more, of physical activity. All members of the family are encouraged, to take on this challenge. I have included some ideas to help you keep active this week under this post and attached an ideas file above too. You'll now be allowed to travel up to 20km from home so you have lots more places to exercise. Don't forget you still must keep 2 m distance from others and perhaps avoid crowded places. I have attached a challenge chart above for you to fill out each day. Please send these to me when fully completed on Friday 12th June at [email protected]. I would love to see what fun you will get up to and find out which activities and challenges you enjoyed the most. Have a lovely active filled week. Ms. Mullen. Some ideas for you to try: You can follow the link below to bring you to the Scoilnet Beyond the Classroom website.

This is a fantastic thing to do however there are many dangers in it. Already this summer we have heard of children loosing their lives in the water. Over the last ten years 30 children in Ireland have drowned in water. Imagine that's almost our entire class. PLEASE please be safe around water and follow the water safety rules. Take the time to read through the booklet below. It might save your life. It might save your friend's or a sibling's life. It'll only take 10 minutes, surely it's worth the effort. When you have read through it why not try some of the interactive games to check your knowledge. http://paws.edco.ie/fifth-and-sixth-classes/ Keep safe, Ms. Mullen Navan Education Centre are hosting a Special Webinar celebrating the progression to Post Primary School for present 6th class students and their parents on the 10th of June.
