Lego Building Competition

Fifth class pupils Evan O Crowley and Odhran O Sullivan entered a Lego building competition run by Autism-Friendly Clonakilty recently.
They loved every second of creating this building of what “My Clonakilty” looks like and worked extremely hard over these last few weeks. They built a skyscraper toy shop which showed examples of racing cars on the top of the building, a delivery truck unloading all the new toys along with a sensory garden for children with ASD to enjoy.
The shop owner “Emmet” can be seen opening the doors to his customers with his flying truck parked outside! They let their imagination run wild and it is clear they are extremely proud of what they achieved.
Well done boys 😀👋

Energy Workshop

Energy Workshop

Energy Workshop

We were delighted to welcome an Energy Workshop from the Lifetime Lab.

Our 3rd, 4th and 5th classes engaged in the energy workshops which covered the topics of energy sources, climate change, CO2, and what we as individuals can do to reduce the amount of energy we use.

The classes completed some fun curriculum-linked energy experiments, for example, did you know you can make a battery out of a lemon?

Towards the end of the workshop, the children played Guzzler’s Energy Challenge, where the aim of the game was to collect as many energy points as possible – and avoid the dreaded Sin Bin! Each of the classes had a great morning of learning and fun.

Podcast: “The Story of Tojo”

 

2nd Class has been busy creating and recording their very first podcast recently. It is all about the visit of a spider monkey named Tojo to Clonakilty nearly 80 years ago.

The podcast was recorded in Knockskeagh and produced by all the 2nd class pupils. They had great fun making it and bringing the story to life.

All of 2nd class would love to hear from you if you enjoyed listening to their podcast. You can make contact on the ‘Contact Us’ section of our website, on Twitter, or on our Facebook page.

Well done to all 2nd Class on a wonderful production.

Science Week 2021

Science Week 2021

Science Week 2021

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. 

Create Our Future 

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.

Science Activities around the school

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 Mad Scientist Showcase

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 !!
