Well done to all students who took part in the Sports Day and Mini-World Cup. We were delighted to see your videos. We hope you keep the exercise going throughout the Summer!  

This year, as we can’t be in school, we are asking all students to take part in the Mini World Cup at home. All you need to do is to record yourself scoring as many penalties as you can in 30 seconds and send them to the school mobile phone through WhatsApp. Your score will be added to others on your team from different classes. Don’t worry if you haven’t a ball or goal, we show you in the video below how to do it without them. PLUS WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST SHOWING PADDY HOW IT’S DONE! Get your videos into us before Saturday night – and best of luck!  

Last Friday, we had a new twist on an old tradition on St Peter’s – the Mini-World Cup! You can read all about last year’s Mini-World Cup here. This year, we had three Mini World Cup tournaments – Junior and Senior Infants played in the morning, 1st and 2nd classes played between break and lunchtime and the older classes had their tournament after lunch. Here are a few photos and Vines from the day – and you can read more about the infant classes and their tournament here.      

Some nifty footwork skills there! This junior infant boy loves football!! Good save! Once a week the Junior and Senior Infants have a lunch time soccer club with teacher and the sixth class boys. The sixth class boys are unbelievable coaches, leaving teacher with lots of time to take photos! Yesterday Paddy organised a mini world cup day for us. The boys and girls from soccer club had great fun showing off their skills on the field and everybody had lots of fun. Thanks Paddy for mini world cup day and thanks a million to the sixth class boys for their hard work, patience and superb coaching... 

Last Friday, we celebrated the annual St. Peter’s World Cup. It was incredible fun, and as per usual it was very, very tight at the finish. It all started with the team draws. Every teacher had a team to manage! We shared the teams via twitter as they were announced at assembly. Mr. Kinsella will manage Argentina! #PetersWC — St. Peter’s Primary (@StPetersBray) June 20, 2014 Ms. Mitchell and Ms. Flanagan will manage France! #PetersWC — St. Peter’s Primary (@StPetersBray) June 20, 2014 Ms. Sexton is managing the Ivory Coast! #PetersWC — St. Peter’s Primary (@StPetersBray)...
