In SESE this month, the children in the senior room have been learning all about force and as part of this, built their own rockets. They investigated how various factors such as launch angle, force applied and environmental factors like wind could effect the distance travelled by their rockets….and had lots of fun in the process
The school has taken part in the Féile na hInse art competition for the first time this year. The creations were themed for each class group with categories such as “Mo Chairde” and “Mo Chaitheamh Aimsire”
The senior room have been learning all about the nutrients in food and how they help our bodies work. They created their own food pyramid and based on this, a “Biachlár an Lae” to meet their daily targets for the different nutrients.
Very well done to our boys, who took part in the Cumann na MBunscol quiz this month.
Some New Year print art to kick off the first day back. Fabulous!
The school participated in the LauraLynn Christmas Jumper Day fundraiser. The school raised an incredible €400 for this charity and the children had a photo shoot competition to come up with a creative pose!
The children then got to direct the teachers into their poses!
Here are some activities the infant group got up to as part of Genius Hour!
