We had two very special guests this week. Will Softly and Guzzler from SEAI (that’s the Sustainable Energy Association of Ireland), came to talk to us about all the different ways of saving energy and about Energy Chains. Did you know, that we get our energy from the sun? It’s called solar power! Will has also kindly invited us to visit him in Brigit’s Garden.
We were learning about forces and energy and what could make a boat float. We investigated this by designing a boat that would float and carry at least four passengers. It was very tricky coming up with the best design and shape for our boats but we managed to get some boats to float without sinking. One group even managed to fit forty passengers!!😁
On Wednesday, 2nd class had a visit from Will in SEAI. They learned all about saving energy, and renewable and non-renewable types of energy.They also had an opportunity to put their learning into practice with an interactive and fun quiz game at the end of the workshop. Thanks to Will for the wonderful workshop! 😀

We loved welcoming Ms. Ní Chártaigh’s First Class into our room to have our first Chess Jamboree just before Christmas. All the boys really enjoyed the event and putting our new chess skills into play.
We are so lucky to be able to work with our Artist in Residence, Ann, for the next 7 weeks. The boys are looking forward to building up their Art Portfolios and learning new skills.
