Health Speak – St Mary’s Newtownbutler
On Friday 1st October DENI Ulster GAA coaches Owen Mooney and Teresa McGirr ran a “Health Speak” day in St Marys Newtownbutler for the whole school.
Each class in the school received a Health lesson that incorporated interactive tasks and games for the children. The focus of the sessions were to give the children a fun and informative insight into all the different ways they can stay healthy. There was individual, group work, interactive quizzes, Health Dancing as well as pupil led sessions.
Aileen Tohill was also in attendance to provide Key Stage 2 children with more detailed information as to how their body reacts to exercise and food. Past pupils Paul Johnston was a special guest at the event. Paul answered questions in relation to preparation for matches, what foods are best for him to perform. Fermanagh GDM, Peter McGinnity was also a guest to oversee what the day involved and how it was undertaken as it is hoped that all schools in Fermanagh will avail of this opportunity.
