Active School Flag

This year in An Grianán NS we are taking on the challenge of an Active School Flag.  The aim of the Active School Flag is to get our school more active and more often.

It is important that all children engage in 60 minutes of physical activity every day.  By doing this we hope to improve children's fitness and mental health.

To be rewarded the flag, we need to demonstate we are meeting the criteria across four areas:

1. Physical Education

2. Physical Activity

3. Partnerships

4. Active School Week

Throughout this year children will take part in various activities eg. 

• School Slogan Competition
• Active breaks for 4 weeks
• Learning on the move challenge for 4 weeks
• The Daily Mile
• What club are you in - survey
• Run Around Europe Challenge 

and many more activities.  There will also be an Active Schools Week with varied activities, guest speaker and a fun event.

Please encourage your child to take part in all  school flag activities.

Please contact Ms Aine Curran if you would like to be part of the Active School Week in our school.
