We started our fundamental movements in P.E. in January.

Our first fundamental movement was skipping. We played a lot of skipping exercises. When you skip, you need to launch yourself into the air, using your arms to propel yourself forward.

Our second fundamental movement was hopping. When you hop, you should actually lift yourself into the air; not just bouncing or not coming off the ground.

Our third fundamental movement was rolling. We took out the mats in the hall and we practiced different rolling techniques, such as: the pencil roll, the arched roll, the egg roll and the straddle roll.

The fourth fundamental movement was balancing. When you balance, try not to get distracted, because if you do you might fall.

On the 21^st of January, 5^th and 6^th class had their Service of Light. They were going over their prayers. They were also practicing with their class teachers the songs:

• Christ be our Light,
• Spirit of the Living God and
• Colours of Day.

Drimoleague were accompanied by Drinagh, Derryclough and Castledonovan. The Service of Light was held in the Drinagh Church.

On the night, children brought their Baptismal Candles. The parents brought the Baptismal Candle to the altar. Fr. Liam lit those candles with the Paschal Candle (a sacred candle with 5 incenses to represent the 5 wounds of Jesus).

The parents then brought the lit Baptismal Candle down to their child. The children simultaneously blew out their candles.
