No Screen Day 2024

Firstly, No Screen Day is not something which is forced on anyone! We need screens in our daily lives for any number of reasons. But sometimes we allow screens to takeover when it may not be necessary all the time. So, just for something to try, we offered the chance to try the No Screen Day for 2024. The idea being that anyone taking part would try and go for the day without the need for the screens - it isn't a case of being forced or making it as a big deal. The aim is to try and move around and go about as normal doing things but just without the screens. 

Below are some of the pictures sent in from families to show what they did for No Screen Day. We have a huge range of activities! Varying from:

• art, GAA, swimming, basketball, rugby

• Phoenix Park walking

• Lego

• baking and cooking

• feeding the birds

• woodwork

• board game design and playing

• a tour of Áras an Uachtaráin!

• horse riding, scouts, roller skating

• brownies and babychinos!!

• music classes and playing music

• reading

• Science experiments (indoor and outdoor!)

• plane spotting at Dublin Airport!
