2nd Class recently engaged in the Maths strand of Data. They explored many types of graphs including pictograms and bar graphs.
Firstly, they explored their birthday months and made a whole class pictogram.
Secondly, they investigated the variety of colours in packets of skittles and how they vary in each packet. Then, they plotted their findings in a bar graph.
They had a great few mornings of maths with a fun twist.

We had a Mad Scientist Day during Science Week where children from 4th, 5th and 6th class in small groups were encouraged to research their own experiments and showcase them to the younger classes in our school hall. The groups put a lot of time and effort into preparation for this event.
The Showcase turned out to be a huge success. Well done to all pupils and teachers who helped prepare these presentations and experiments to such a high standard. It was certainly educational and great entertainment too!!

During Science Week this year, each class of our school planted a tree.
The classes learned about; the importance of trees in our environment, choosing the right tree for the right place and how to plant a tree. Our County Mayor Christopher O’Sullivan visited our school during Science Week and planted his own tree to add to all the other classes.
Here are some facts about trees!!
Did you know?
Oxygen
In a single year, an acre of trees could produce enough oxygen for 18 people.
Carbon Dioxide
A large oak tree will store as much carbon as about 50 return flights from London.
Biodiversity
Without trees, many forest creatures would have nowhere to call home.
Health and Wellbeing
Studies have shown that living near trees can improve health, happiness, and wellbeing.
