Canal trip in Room 2

Room 2 really enjoyed learning all about the flora and fauna along the Grand Canal with wildlife expert Éanna ní Lamhna and investigating pollution in the canal. It’s cleaner than you’d think!

Communion preparation for the 2nd classes

Lots of children in second class are preparing for their Communion this month. After a practice in the church this week, room 1 were lucky enough to be given a tour of the church by Eoin. We learned lots! Thanks Eoin!

Kilmainham Gaol visit for Room 2

Room 2 really enjoyed a day out to Kilmainham Gaol with a guided tour around this historical building. We saw some of the cells where the 1916 rebels were imprisoned and the yard where some of them were executed. We were happy to enjoy lunch in some wide open spaces after all that confinement!

Static electricity in Room 4

Room 4 learned all about static electricity this week. We rubbed balloons on our hair to create an electrical charge and then had great fun creating crazy hairstyles! We learned that the static electricity enables the balloons to stick to the wall and pick up tiny bits of paper also!
We were ecSTATIC in science class today!
