We are a group of 5th year students from Coláiste Murie, Cobh, Co.Cork. Our project is based on fundamental movement skills. We think that if we try and improve fundamental movement skills at a young age then it will help with many sports in the future.

 

For our project we invited classes from 4 of the local primary schools. Each school were scheduled to come on a different day. We split each class into 4 teams and had them rotate around to the 5 stations which included the run, hop,  balance, throw and catch. At each station the children were taught the important steps that are involved in the skill and played games that interpret the skill.

As a group of mentors we selected the team that shows the best understanding, skill, team work and co-operation.

In the coming weeks we will have a fun sports day where the best team from each school will come and take part.

​

We would like our website to become a resource for primary school teachers, where they can learn about skills that they can teach to their students. We have created a teachers booklet so the information needed is right infront of them while they teach their P.E. class. We also included fun games that they could us which are easy to do with young children.
