GAA is 125 years old!

Today we celebrated 125 years of the GAA. We made posters and decorated the class windows. We learned about the first GAA games played and how Croke Park developed. The GAA plays a very important part in our local community.

Local GAA stars such as Billy Caulfield, Eamonn Keogh, PJ Molloy, Cathal Moran and Joe Rabbitte came to the school today and helped us train and learn the skills of hurling.

It was a fun day out! And even the rain stayed away!

We did some warm ups while we were waiting for our GAA stars.

It is important to stretch our muscles before we exercise.
