After School Activities
Playball:
The aim of the Playball programme is to introduce children to sport in a positive, fun and non- intimidating way.
The Playball programme recognises the different stages of development in young children and uses sport as the means to develop all aspects of a child’s life.
Playball is a sport and movement programme which has a direct impact on the learning process in the classroom and everyday life. Movement is a child’s first language and is the basis of all learning.
Dance Classes:
Zumba dance is run by Elaine every second Thursday for an hour. Elaine teaches children and adults in the Leixlip and Maynooth area. Elaine loves expressing herself and the children through music and dance using the latest hits and incorporating flags, ribbons and hats.
