Great News!

All of our classes submitted their Science and Maths logs, we had 9 in total! The logs were reviewed and our school was given the Award of Science and Maths Excellence! Each student was given a certificate for all of the work that was done and the school was given a large certificate and a plaque to hang on the wall.

Each of the classes had a party as a reward for all of the hard work that went into the projects.

Well done to all of the classes for all of their excellent work!

All of the classes from first to sixth have been working really hard throughout the year on Science experiments and Maths Extensions for Science.  The classes put all of their work together into class log books with samples of work and photographs.

These log books have just been entered into the Awards of Science Excellence which is part of the Discover Primary Science Competition. In total the school entered nine log books.

Hopefully we will get the award again this year. We will hear in a few weeks!

On Monday 22nd March the girls from Ms Kelly’s 2nd class along with Ms Kelly, Ms Nolan, Ms Kerrigan and Ms Trainor went to the Rediscovery Centre in Ballymun. There the girls learned about improving our environment through recycling. The girls looked at how to make recycled paper and they even made badges from recycled bits of fabric. They played a special game of Snakes and Ladders and even did a recycling wordsearch. The girls learned a lot and hopefully they will start to recycle more!
