The boys and girls of Ms. O Connor’s social group were busy threading ‘Winter Hats’ as part of their fabric and fibre art.

Well done to all the boys and girls and their teachers who worked very hard last year to ensure our school received the ‘Badge of Excellence for STEM Awareness in the SFI Discover Science and Maths Awards’. We received our award yesterday. This Friday, three classes will have an opportunity to view the first interactive digital SFI Discover Science and Maths Awards Ceremony.

Second Class enjoyed doing the Colour Families experiment today! 

All classes enjoyed the virtual event ‘How to become a Superhero Scientist’ today. The boys and girls enjoyed the event.

Dancing Raisins: Junior Infants had a great time experimenting with raisins and water to see if they could make the raisins dance. They discovered that the raisins would dance when sparking water was used. 

Today, classes attended a Science virtual event to celebrate Science Week. Children from Junior Infants to Second Class attended ‘The Amazing Cosmos Journey’ and children from Third Class to Sixth Class attended ‘The Sophia Project’. These events were very interesting and were enjoyed by the children.

Junior Infants have been listening to the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar and asking our caterpillar lots of questions. They also created their very own hungry caterpillar.

This week, we are celebrating Science Week. Throughout the week, each class will participate in at least three virtual events. These events have been organised by ‘Science Ireland’ and the ‘University of Limerick’.
