The school is currently participating in a competition run by Fyffes banana company called ‘Fyffes Fit Schools’.
The aim of this competition is to find Ireland’s fittest school. They are partnered with elite Irish athletes David Gillick and Phil Healy.
Fyffes gives exercise demos and online workouts. Feeling up for a challenge at home? – you can also find these workout sessions on YouTube if you search ‘Fyffes fit squad’, but be ready to get moving!!
Each week we complete a number of exercises and our progress is sent to Fyffes online, they look for how many exercises we have done, and what percentage of the school took part. This is then converted into ‘Banana Points’.
Thankfully, due to our great efforts at Active Schools to date, it was easy to implement a few different exercises from Fyffes to our routine. After small break and big lunch, each class takes part. We are really enjoying this challenge and are seeing our progress on the leader board as we earn banana points each week!
