Fresh Fruit Smoothies
The boys and girls in 5th and 6th class had great fun making up their very own smoothie recipes recently. We used fresh fruit and frozen yoghurt to create a selection of tasty treats. Many of the boys and girls even brought their own fruit from home. We got to taste each of the smoothies and tried out various combinations including bananas, strawberries, blueberries, apples, mango, kiwi, pineapple and orange. Many of us even tasted fruits we had never tasted before!
Super Troopers Programme
Scartaglen N.S. is participating in Super Troopers again this year. Super Troopers is a ‘health homework’ programme. As part of their homework pupils will have a short daily activity to complete. Each child has received a journal and wall chart to help track their activities over the next few weeks/months. They can also track sports/activities they are already doing. All of the family are encouraged to get involved and we look forward to an active Autumn in Scartaglen!!
Cumann na mBunscol Football
Well done to all the boys and girls who played for the school football team in Cordal GAA field recently. The team played three matches against Nohoval, Cordal and Currow. They played really well and were unlucky not to qualify for the next round. A huge thanks to Ms. O' Connor for all her coaching in the lead up to the matches.View Photo
