Lissivigeen School awarded ‘Active Flag’

The pupils and teachers of Lissivigeen National School celebrated the awarding of their very first Active Flag last week.
The Active School is a Department of Education initiative, supported by Healthy Ireland, and part of the National Physical Activity Plan- the aim of which is to ensure physical activity is valued, promoted and enjoyed by all.
The children were joined on the day by three past pupils for the raising of the flag: Kayleigh Cronin, Kerry Senior ladies footballer along with Oisín Lynch and Jason O’Reilly, both of whom represented Ireland in the European Youth Olympics this summer.
All three were very gracious with their time and answered lots of questions from the children. The children took part in many activities and challenges last year to earn their Active Flag and the teachers worked hard to incorporate movement into all aspects of the school day. The activities were varied and included athletics, dancing, obstacle courses, orienteering and active break challenges.
Classes also participated in the ‘Daily Mile’ running initiative, the ‘Run Around Ireland’ challenge and had a very enjoyable Active Week last May.
