On Wednesday the 19^th of December Robbie and Katie from the Irish Wheelchair Association came in and did wheelchair based activities and games with Ms Shaw’s third class.

The children played a variety of inclusive games throughout the session. The children played bocce, curling and relay races to name but a few. They were smiling throughout and they all had so much fun.

They got to experience what it is like for a wheelchair user by taking it in turns to sit in a wheel chair and play different throwing and catching activities. Robbie brought nine wheelchairs with him to give the children an opportunity to take part in the different games. It was great to see so much inclusivity and all the children got really involved.

Emily thoroughly enjoyed the experience and she appreciated being able to show her class mates what P.E and every-day life is like for her in a wheelchair.

Congratulations to all classes and their teachers on their wonderful performances at this year’s annual Christmas Fair. The day was a tremendous success and a tribute to all the hard work and preparation. Videos of ALL CLASSES are available now below.
