1st Class had a great STEAM week!
We enjoyed learning about and creating projects on Mae Jemison and Alice Perry.
We had great fun completing a maths trail and some cool science experiments.
We had a Zoom call with a Zoologist named Prof. Louise Allcock and we worked hard creating lovely drawings in our art books.
What a busy week we had!

We've been very busy in gardening club over the past few weeks and we've learnt lots from Dee Sewell. We planted winter barley this week and we're looking forward to watching it grow over the coming months. Thanks so much to Carlow Wheelchair Assocation for donating strawberry plants to our school garden. Gardening club will be starting back in the new year.

Caroline and Eimear s class finished off Science week working with Clare's class to create some really big bubbles... They then went outside to try and create even bigger ones. They played with light and shadow creating their own unique shadows and finished off with an art lesson drawing bubbles and giving them a 3 d effect.

🫧🫧🫧Clare & Caroline had great fun learning about how gas hold up space. We proved this by blowing our own bubbles. The bubbles held the air/gas until they burst. We then created beautiful bubbles in art class. The children did a wonderful job making their bubbles look 3D. We also experimented with light and shadows using our bodies to make fun shapes, we captured it with photography. 🫧🫧🫧

Both second classes took part in a workshop today on river and ocean pollution as part of Science Week. They looked at samples of items that washed up on the beach, went under the sea using VR. They finished up with a litter pick along the River Barrow. They came acoss lots of items and even found a stool and a chair. Well done everyone.

Some of our older pupils had a great time visiting Gaelscoil Osrai in Kilkenny for a debate today. The motion being debated was ‘all children in Ireland should have the right to a local playground’.
We heard some great arguments from all the pupils involved, with some great facts and information to back it up.
Thanks to Gaelscoil Osraí for hosting us today, and best of luck in the next round.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to have Spanish lessons this year for 5th & 6th classes with Annette. The classes are really enjoying their lessons. Our language noticeboard celebrates all the languages we have in the school. This month Gary's 6th class did some fantastic work on Gaeilge seanfhocail or sayings. Languages Connect
