Máirt na hInide – A Lán Pancóga!

Shrove Tuesday – A Lot of Pancakes!

The Junior Room made their own batter, weighing, measuring and mixing the ingredients. They waited patiently for the finished product, which was quickly eaten, as well as being given thumbs up for taste.

The Senior Room arrived armed with their own batter. The queue by the cooker was never ending or so Claire thought! Luckily Aobh volunteered to be the second pancake chef, she poured the mixture like an expert into the heated pan, produced perfect golden brown delicious pancakes every time and even flipped them with expertise. Everyone got their fair share and left the kitchen content! Though most were planning on having more when they got home.

Creative Design in the Senior Room

The students of the Senior Room worked using STEM projects. “STEM education is the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in an effort to increase students’ interest, engagement awareness in these areas. It also encourages pupils to work together as a team using communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills while persisting with STEM challenges or projects“. (Prim-Ed Publishing)

Two projects were worked on, Build a Bridge and Designer Shoe. The task for Build a Bridge was to design and create a bridge from a material that is strong enough to hold a toy lorry. The task for Designer Shoe was to design and create a shoe based on the features of a duck’s foot.

Take a look at our work, we are super proud of our creations.

Taking the Classroom and Moving it Outside

With the beautiful weather we are experiencing this week, Tonya delivered her music class outdoors. The students had plenty of space for dancing the Heel and Toe Polka.

Maths Trail

The students from the Senior Room undertook a Maths Trail, which found them outside discovering maths in their school environment. The Trail tested their skills on topics such as: symmetry; area; length; shapes both 2D and 3D; direction; chance; problem solving; lines and angles; multiplication; estimating; and much more!
