Here in Glór na Mara we are working towards achieving our Active School Flag. In partnership with Waterford GAA, we are encouraging all of our students and their families to become more active in March and take part in Let's Move Waterford. The oldest child in each family has been given an activity card to bring home.
The cards contain 28 different activities to encourage families to get moving and participate in activities together. They are encouraged to tick each activity as they complete them. As part of Let's Move Waterford, every Saturday, the coaches in Tramore GAA Club will be hosting activities from 3 - 5pm for all children (aged 4-13). These sessions are free and are open to all children so your child does not have to be a member of the club to attend.
The GAA will be giving out prizes such as sports equipment and coach visits for schools that have the highest participation in relation to the number of cards handed out. We are asking you to return your completed cards to the school with your child before the Easter holidays to enter the competition. All completed cards returned to school will be entered into our own school draw for a sports voucher!
Our Active Flag Committee will be visiting all of the classes over the next few days to motivate, encourage and get feedback. We will have lots more exciting initiatives coming up to encourage all of our students and their families to get moving in March (and keep moving for the rest of the year!!). Watch this space for more exciting Active Flag news!!!
