The Mullan family had great fun with today's challenges. After the book balancing, Gwen (Nursery) needed her big sister Erin (P7) to help her to use the tennis racket. Meanwhile their poor mum was worried that her house would not survive! Matthew (P4) also really enjoyed these challenges.

Cain (P3) balanced his book for 40 seconds and achieved 43 hits with his bat and ball in 30 seconds.
Isla (P2) and EvaMarie (P5) had lots of fun on the obstacle course around grannies garden, some dancing stretchers were twisted into the obstacle course but going up and down the steps was the tricky bit.

The Bat & Ball Challenge was challenging to say the least, but after a few practices and opting for a golf ball and hurl, Keelan was delighted to get 55 bounces in 30 seconds. Brooke was a little rusty as she claimed she ‘hasn’t played Camogie since she was 3!!’ 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️and got 8 bounces. Joel (P5) took 43 seconds and Dervla (P7) 30 seconds.
