We marked ‘Science Week’ from Monday 8th to Friday 12th November last week.
There was a variety of science activities investigated and explored in each class this year including; a range of science experiments, bug hunts, science shows, our virtual Science Showcase, and much more.
The whole school took part in a Create Our Future Design Competition. The pupils in each class were tasked to design something that they feel will aid future research in schools or homes. There were some very creative designs in each class and winners were awarded small prizes. All participants were presented with Science Week certificates too. Well done to all who took part.
The gallery below displays a snapshot of some of the other Science activities in the classes during Science Week 2021.
Junior Infants, 1st Class, and 2nd Class explored our garden habitat for bugs and minibeasts.
2nd Class investigated the bond between milk and washing up liquid during the rainbow colours experiment. Also, they explored electricity and investigated the paper towel colour mixing experiment.
3rd Class made their own “magical potion” creating a chemical reaction using the following ingredients vinegar, baking soda, washing up liquid, and food colouring. It was certainly a messy one but great fun!!
5th Class explored the butter-making process and it turned out really tasty too !!
6th Class completed a Virtual Mad Scientist Showcase through using Zoom this year for all the classes to view.
It was an amazing show and the class did a great job explaining each experiment. The groups made elephant toothpaste and oblek, created a volcano explosion, made their own rain cloud, showcased the skittles experiment, created an explosion between coca-cola and mentos, and much more.
Well done everybody, it was certainly a Science Week to remember !!

Every Monday over the next 6 weeks each class will engage in African Drumming workshops.
They will be introduced to basic rhythmic concepts of West African and world percussion through drumming, chanting, body percussion, call and response and storytelling.
Using the West African Djembe (pronounced djem – bay) students assemble in the drum circle.
Children will connect to rhythm and sound using a variety of percussion instruments, bells and shakers.
The first workshop was enjoyed by all children and we are really looking forward to the next few weeks.

What a day!!
Our annual Halloween Parade took place on Friday the 22nd of October this year. All the children put in a huge effort and it was one we certainly won’t forget.
Our parade took place on our school track this year and it was fantastic entertainment. There was an abundance of creativity, colour and fun on display as each class walked a lap of the track.
Prizes were awarded to pupils with the best costumes made from recycled material. The judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners.
Huge credit must go to all who helped create such magnificent costumes, the standard was truly amazing. Well done to everybody!
We raised €120 for Pieta House through this fun dress-up walk around the school track this year. Thank you to all who supported this worthy cause.
We hope all pupils, parents and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.
Happy Halloween
