Science Week and the Science Fair

Science week was an incredible and busy week for us.

In Senior Infants we tried out some experiments in the classroom. We made a rainbow by placing skittles in water, we blew up a balloon just using vinegar and baking soda and we separated salt from pepper using a balloon.

On Thursday, the students visited the 3rd and 4th class Science Fair. These students had created stations with many different experiments. The senior infants visited the stations and learned about the different investigations taking place. The students were really intrigued and enjoyed the fair.

Well done to the 3rd and 4th class students for their excellent displays!

Hands on Maths 📐

Using hands on resources are a really important part of maths. They help us link maths problems to real life while also broadening our minds to find new ways to solve problems. By using manipulatives such as blocks, matchsticks, cubes, lollipop sticks or drawing on whiteboards, it helps us visualise problems that sometimes are hard to understand!

Art- Pointillism

For the past for weeks we have been learning about the Supermarket in Aistear. We decided to link this with art and created wonderful pieces of fruit only using cotton buds and paint. All the students did a fantastic job! This was new way to try out painting and art for the students.

Ardrahan Mausoleum Trip 📸

Friday was such a fantastic day that the students took a little trip down to the Mausoleum in Ardrahan. Firstly, this involved a little walk in the nice weather 🚶‍♀️☀️ When at the mausoleum the students looked at the different architecture and learned about its history. It is great for the children to learn about their local history as well as history on a wider scale.
