Christmas visit to Kilbeggan Library

Thank you to Ann Marie, librarian at Kilbeggan Library, who invited us to visit on 9th December. The library has been recently refurbished so the children had an opportunity to relax in the sensory spaces, browse through some Christmas books and see all the facilities available in the library. There are always lots of free activities for children from chess to Lego to art and crafts. Here is the link if you would like to join the library: https://westmeath.spydus.ie/cgi-bin

Crann

Thank you to Ann Marie from Crann, an organisation which promotes trees, who visited our school on Monday, 8th December. She spoke to us about the important relationship that people have with trees and we planted two trees behind the school.

Thank you to Gerry for coming to teach us the basics of hurling

Horseleap NS celebrated Active Schools Week from 6th to 9th May and what a week we had! The weather was glorious all week so we were able to spend lots of time outdoors being active. Among the activities was a visit from Gerry Linnane to show us how to play hurling, an athletics session with Ms. Reid and a whole school obstacle course.

The children participated in lots of cooperative games and activities during the week. They also used our re-organised walkway to enjoy mindful moments, puzzle over some riddles and learn some French. We also had a whole school game of rounders which they thoroughly enjoyed.
