Children in First Class worked in groups of two and three to solve addition and subtraction problems. The children are learning about the different problem-solving strategies they can use to solve these problems. Children self-assessed their work. Great work today by the boys and girls! Marvelous Mathematicians!

First Class estimated and measured the length, width and height of the classroom using one metre balloons. Children work together to estimate how many balloons were needed for the length, width and height of the classroom. This was a fantastic hands-on activity that the boys and girls enjoyed!

Today, fourth class attended ‘Bubblz the Mathematical Entertainer’ from Bubbly Maths. The show was on in Mary Immaculate College and was funded by SFI (Science Foundation Ireland) and DES (Department of Education). The topics covered were shape, space, problem-solving and mathematical thinking. This was a STEM event. Activities involved giant balloon shapes and soap bubbles. The boys and girls had a fantastic day!

Maths Week 2019 has begun! First Class celebrated the event today by playing fun, active games!

Children in Fourth Class are preparing hard for the Science Intel Competition which will take place shortly. An exhibition of the projects will be set up in the school for the Intel judges. Keep up the good work boys and girls!

Children in First Class had an opportunity to play Maths and STEM games during Maths class. They are preparing for Maths Week which is happening next week!

Children in First Class celebrated EU Coding Week by taking part in a lesson of Scratch Junior. The children really enjoyed the celebrations and is looking forward to their next lesson!
