Recently, we have been learning about the process of pollination in our science lessons. In order to gain a full understanding of how flowers reproduce, we dissected some lilies to identify the different parts of a flower. The boys then gave a full scientific explanation of pollination. Great work boys!

Fifth class have been studying the work of the famous artist Vincent van Gogh. We were fascinated to learn that he only ever sold one of his paintings during his lifetime. The boys recreated two of his pieces of work: 'Avenue of Poplars' and 'Still life with apples'. Super work boys. Well done!

Second class boys went on a materials hunt in our school grounds. They explored the school grounds in search of a variety of items, including leaves, twigs, flowers, soil, rocks and stones. They used their senses to record the properties of each object. Lots of teamwork, fun and learning was had!

Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a vibrant and multicultural community which embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Catholic ethos.
We promote an appreciation and love of Irish culture and language while also forging a knowledge of and respect for other cultures within our school.
