‘Physical Education provides children with learning opportunities through the medium of movement and contributes to their overall development by helping them to lead full, active healthy lives.’ Curaclam na Bunscoile.
We in Ogonnelloe N.S hope to provide the children in our care with the above opportunities by implementing the new Physical Education Curriculum. The strands of the Physical Education Curriculum are athletics, games, aquatics, dance, gymnastics and outdoor and adventure activities.All classes are taught 5 different PE strands each year: Children in Ogonnelloe N.S receive at least an hour per week of physical education. This year, as part of the ASF initiative, it was decided by staff to select Games as the strand for development.
