Our theme this month for May is past-times and hobbies. We have been spent the past week talking about and discussing our favourite hobbies, loads of us like soccer, tennis , dancing and karate!
For our Aistear role play this month we decided to set up our very own gym in room 6!! We decided that we should visit the gym down in Clondalkin Leisure Centre before creating our own one.
This morning we set off at 9.15, Claire Annmarie and Ms. Tutty came with us. We got soaked on the way down with the rain but we dried up once we got to the gym.
A lovely man called Enda who works in the Gym showed us all around. The first place we visited was the reception. We learned that when everyone comes to the gym they have to scan their membership cards at the reception desk.
We then went upstairs to look at the studio rooms where they do classes. After that we went to the gym. At the gym we had the chance to look at all the different machines. We learned that there are two different types of exercises that we can do in the gym
- Cardio -such as the treadmill or cross trainer which is good for our lungs and helping us to breath properly
- Weights- which help us build up our strength and muscles
Some of us had the chance to try out some of the machines with the help of Enda. Take a look at the pictures teacher took of us!
We had such a good day at the gym. We can't wait to set up our own one in Room 6 now that we know exactly what to do! :)
