Science Week continued with an experiment to teach the pupils about volcanoes.
Science Week began in earnest today in the 1st & 2nd Classroom – first experiment of the week!
As always the school community responds to the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal by sending in lots of boxes. A big thank you to all the families who supported the appeal this year.
Junior and Senior Infants came to school all dressed up today! They had a pumpkin hunt and got to blow bubbles and run after them to pop them!
As is normal practice every Friday, the whole school took part in GAA training with Donie from St. Naul’s GAA. This week, however, things took a spooky turn as all sorts of characters turned up to train! Our thanks as always to Donie for being such a good sport!
We went on a maths trails this week to look for different shapes around the school. We found lots!
Everyone is enjoying playing with the skipping ropes, beanbags, rackets and balls in the playground at lunchtime .
The Playground Leaders help to distribute and collect the equipment and also work with Junior and Senior Infants showing them how to skip and use the rackets and balls.
The Active Flag Committee members helped to sort out our new P.E. Equipment. We purchased new bean bags, skipping ropes and cones and put them into boxes for each classroom.
3rd & 4th Classes were learning about electricity and magnets. They completed a series of experiments – some of which were hair raising!!
The pupils from 3rd & 4th Classes came to the Infant room and helped us to play maths and phonics games on the iPads.
