Learning through discovery

We have been learning about seeds and plants and what they need to grow.

We used some egg cartons, glued on some googly eyes and added some pipe cleaners to create our very own caterpillar heads.

We filled each egg carton with cotton wool and added a teaspoonful of cress seeds. We placed our caterpillar heads on the warm windowsill and carefully watered the seeds every day.

The results are just amazing!! Take a look!

Exploring the wonders of science

The senior room explored chemical energy by making their very own lava lamps, using a mix of oil, water, food colouring and an alka seltzer tablet.

Take a look!

Drumming!

On Wednesday we had a very special treat. Múinteoir Lorraine organised a drumming lesson for us!

We learned all about how the drums are made, where in the world they originally came from  and about  all the different sounds they can produce.

We had so much fun!

St. Brigid’s Day

We celebrated St. Brigid’s Day by making beautiful St. Brigid’s crosses from rushes.
