The Senior room had a great start to Science Week with STEM activities using Lego WeDo! They showed great teamwork while working together to build their own creations.  They added direction, sound and lighting!!

Juniors, Seniors and 1st were busy trying to find a material to make a suit for Scuba Steve!

Well done to all our wonderful children who raised €300 for Brú Columbanus at our Halloween fancy dress day.

Maths Week got off to a flying start with the Junior room completing a ‘Most Popular Car Colour Survery’  white came out on top! They also learned all about 2D shapes with a 2D Shape Hunt.  Snakes & Ladders also featured in Maths Week activities.  5th and 6th class solved some maths riddles on-line and then went outdoors and explored the concept of 2D and 3D shapes and angles.  Overall, lots of fun while learning!

On a beautiful autumnal morning recently the Junior room children visited the local wood and gathered lots of treasures! They popped into the church on the way and said a little prayer.  On their way back to school they spent a short time in the playground.  A nice end to the school week!

5th and 6th class were busy learning all about pointillism and have begun creating Halloween art!!
