Internal Blitz and Fun Morning

19th Jun 2026

Yesterday, our Key Stage 2 pupils from P5, P5/6, P6 and P7 enjoyed a fantastic Annual Fun Morning and Internal Gaelic Football Blitz at Shane O’Neill’s GAC. Although the weather threatened to dampen proceedings with a few showers, it certainly didn’t dampen spirits! The boys and girls embraced every moment, showing great enthusiasm, teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the morning.

The event provided pupils with an opportunity to take part in a range of exciting Gaelic football activities and fun games, many of which were creatively designed and organised by the pupils themselves. It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, encouraging one another and enjoying healthy competition in a positive and supportive atmosphere.

A thank you goes to the teachers and classroom assistants who helped referee matches, organise activities and ensure the event ran smoothly. Their support and encouragement played a key role in making the morning such a success.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Aoibheann Reavey, Blaithín and Yasmin Mackin for facilitating, and to Shane O’Neill’s GAC for hosting our pupils.

Despite the rain, the smiles, laughter and energy on display made it a memorable morning for everyone involved. Well done to all of our KS2 pupils for their outstanding participation, teamwork and effort throughout the event! 🏐👏☘️
