Today 2nd class got a lovely surprise when they got to go to the hall to see a play. While 2nd were watching the play, 1st class from Miss Hallinan's and Miss Leonard's got to do some hurling skills with Adrian Hessian, the hurling coach. Adrian was very impressed with the skills from 1st class and believes we could have a good hurling team from Culleens in years to come. We all had to wear our helments for safety. We also learned all about the different parts of the hurley stick.

We had great fun in PE today. Firstly we warmed up to the opposites game. teacher called out Stop which meant we run, when teacher called out go we had to stop running, when she called out up we had to lie down and when she called out down we had to stretch high. Then we played the chasing game called Tickly Cat. We then started our dances. We started with this funny one - What did the Fox Say? Then we danced the Gummy Bear Dance. We then danced the Birdie Dance with a partner. After we did a dance to "Cheerleader" song and finally we learned a line dance to "Cotton Eye Joe". It was great fun. We finished with our cool down streching out. We were all roasting after.
Here is a video from last years walk. Let's hope the weather is good.
