Class v class fun and games is a great way to end the year in TY PE. Well done to Hawthorn class, who came out victorious after epic dodgeball and tug of war battles. Finished off with some entertaining wheelbarrow and piggyback races #TYisfun

Finding another use for something you no longer need is the definition of reuse. This is the answer to most of our waste problems in Ireland. Well done to @Fingalcoco for putting us in touch . @BlakestownCS @WorldWise_Irl @accsirl
