During Science week, we learned about the principles of density and polarity while making lava lamps. As well as this, we explored forces by working collaboratively to construct towers from marshmallows and spaghetti. The boys also created fascinating projects by choosing any topic of their choice. Some of these included: Young Inventors, Animals facing extinction and The Human Body.
In September we visited two grave yards. The first we thought was the old grave yard in the grounds of the now Library. This we found interesting, looking at the grave and thinking about the people in them. Then Fr. Diarmuid suggested we visited the Medieval Grave yard that is situated behind the Tesco Garage. This was very interesting, we could hardly make out the name or dates but to see the graves and tombs from the local area was fascinating.
This week is Science Week at school. Some of the activities the boys will be undertaking this week include science experiments, workshops, table quizzes and challenges.

Today the boys in fifth class took part in a rocket workshop which is part of Science Week. The boys learnt about rockets in space and made their own rocket. 🚀

We had a wonderful time celebrating Halloween recently. The boys enjoyed dressing up and creating some spooky Halloween art!
We had a lot of fun during maths week recently. From maths trails to games and activities in our classroom to maths eyes, the boys explored maths in a variety of different ways. A wonderful week was had by all!
