Primary School Athletics Fun Day
Athletics Fun Days June 2010
Two very successful Athletics Fun Day were held for Primary School children from South and East Mayo on June 9th and 10th in Claremorris at the Athletic Club facilities/racetrack. The Athletics Fun Day is in its second year and is hosted by Anne Ronayne
This is the second year for this type of event to be run.
Tesco Claremorris kindly sponsored fruit and water for the 2 Day event, special thanks to Martin Daly manager and Marie Crowe Community Champion for their generosity.
The 2 day event worked extremely well with 8 local national schools taking part over the 2 days. In total 330 children from all 8 schools.
Day 1 = Knock, Kilkelly, Balla, Roundfort and Kilmaine
Day 2 =
********************************************************************
The day started at 10.30am with all schools grouped together and broken up into classes.
Each class then started at station 1 and every 20 minutes rotated to a different station.
The Stations consisted of a trained leader that took them through an athletics discipline.
Station 1: Outdoor Long Jump
Station 2: Sprints
Station 3: Ball Throw, Javelin and Shot putt (3 sections)
Station 4: Hurdles
Station 5: Indoor High Jump
Final Event: Relays
Each child got the opportunity to take part in all of these events and as a finale relays were held. The ethos of the day is that children can take part in all activities with no competitive element to the day. Participation is paramount and each child given a chance to try out different activities.
Teachers who accompanied the children also acted as volunteers on the day as well as helping out at various stations.
**********************************************************************
The 2 days were evaluated by teachers from 7 of the 8 schools and the reviews were all without exception ‘Excellent’.
