The annual school Sports Day took place this year on June 16th in glorious sunshine. Activities began at 9 a.m. and continued until 3 pm. There was something for everyone and the pupils were busy all day long. Indoor activities included gymnastics, hip-hop dancing and volleyball. Outdoors the school pitch was divided into two running tracks while the yard was in use for novelty games.

A strange phenomenon appeared over the town of Ennis at lunchtime on June 16th, 2010 – a host of coloured spots filled the sky. This was the Balloon Release which took place at Ennis National School during Sports Day as a fund-raiser for the new school building project.

A label giving the name and address of the school is attached to each balloon, as is the name of its owner. The person whose balloon travels the furthest by June 29th wins the top prize. When this event took place in another Irish school recently, the winning balloon travelled as far as Germany! We look forward to discovering where our balloons end up.

On Tuesday, June 8th, Ennis National School had the privilege of hosting the Special Olympics Torch Run 2010 in Co. Clare. The runners arrived in our yard with the torch at 9.30 am where all the pupils were waiting to welcome them.

A number of Special Olympic athletes from St. Clare's and St. Anne's schools attended, along with athletes from the Brothers of Charity Services.

Tributes were paid to all involved in the Games - athletes, organisers and volunteers - during the speeches. The Ennis National School band provided some lively entertainment before the runners departed for Limerick, where the Torch was needed for the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Games in Thomond Park the following evening, June 9th. |
