Skip Around the World
The Skip Around the World Challenge is a fun, active initiative designed to encourage children to get moving, stay healthy, and enjoy skipping as part of daily physical activity.
What the Challenge Involves
Each class or child skips daily—either during PE, break times, or short activity breaks.
Every skip counts! Skips are added together to help the school “travel” around a map of the world.
Classes record their progress and see how far they can “travel,” visiting different countries and continents as they build up their skip totals.
Lunch Time Clubs
Some of the pupils have been coming up with their own ideas for clubs that we could run during lunch time. At the moment we have a lego club and arts and crafts taking place in the yard during lunch.
Food Dudes
Food Dudes is a healthy eating programme designed for primary school children in Ireland. Its aim is to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables, try new foods, and develop long-lasting healthy habits.
How the Programme Works
Food Dudes uses a combination of:
Tasting: Children are given small portions of fruit and vegetables to try in school.
Role Models: The “Food Dudes” are a group of fun, superhero-style characters who love eating fruit and veg. Children are encouraged to “eat like the Food Dudes.”
Rewards: Pupils receive small rewards (stickers, pencils, certificates) when they taste or finish their fruit and vegetables.
Repetition: By offering fruit and veg regularly, the programme helps children get used to the taste and build routine healthy eating habits.

Music Generation
🎵 Music at Hewetson! 🎵
We are so lucky to have two wonderful music teachers visit us each week!
Carrie works with our infants, who are currently exploring song singing and composing using a variety of instruments.
First and Second Class are learning how to drum with Luke, while Third and Fourth Class are enjoying ukulele lessons. Luke finishes his day with Fifth and Sixth Class, where the students are learning to play a range of different instruments.
It’s wonderful to see — and hear — all the music happening around our school. We’re really looking forward to sharing our talents and performing for the whole school community later in the year! 😃
🏐 GAA with Brian! 🏐
Every Thursday, Brian comes in to coach 5th and 6th Class. The pupils are developing their GAA skills and learning the importance of teamwork.
Throughout the year, Brian will also be working with the other classes, helping everyone build their confidence and have fun through sport!
