Physical Activity is the promotion and engagement of exercise and movement in addition to the 60 minute per week timetabled curriculum subject of Physical Education. Ogonnelloe N.S actively promotes the message that children require 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.
Ogonnelloe N.S promotes activity during break times and pupils are encouraged to run, play and be active. We have two daily playground breaks and our school yard is zoned and marked to allow children to engage in a variety of different activities. Our school has playground leaders who set up activities and organise sports equipment during break times for others to use.
All pupils engage in an extended classroom based physical activity break on wet days and short physical activity breaks during the day (Just Dance,Go Noodle, Cosmic Yoga, Bizzy Breaks, 10 at 10 etc.).
Our school has agreed an Active School Flag motto which is
Run, Jump, Jog, Dance.
Give yourself an active chance.
