Health Awareness Week + Fun Day
Next week promises to be a very exciting week for the pupils of Ennis National School. It will be our annual Health Awareness Week. To finish off the week we will have our extremely popular Fun Day.
To launch the week, on Monday June 11th, we have John Burke, first Clare man to summit Mount Everest, coming into Ennis National School to tell us about his epic journey to the top of Mount Everest. This was an extraordinary accomplishment and he will tell his amazing story to 4th, 5th and 6th.
Later in the day, we have John Eustace, who runs Clare Jiu Jitsu Academy, coming into us to give the children a little taster of Jiu Jitsu. He will also continue this on Tuesday. Also on Monday, we have Kelvin Harold, who is a nutritionist with the Clare Senior Hurlers, talking to the 4th, 5th and 6th classes about good nutrition and how important it is for your body.
On Tuesday, we have Eimear McCarthy, a qualified yoga instructor, booked in to do some yoga and relaxation techniques with the children up to 4th class. If any child has access to a yoga mat, they should bring it in on Tuesday. Also on Tuesday, we have Rachel Culligan who is a qualified chef lending her time to demonstrate to the children how to make some healthy, tasty snacks.
