Science Week Sparks Curiosity!

This week we celebrated Science Week with a wide range of fascinating experiments. Each class took part in a variety of investigations, with the highlight being a Science Fair held in the GP Hall.

During the fair, pupils from 5th and 6th Class carried out the experiments they had been learning about throughout the week and demonstrated them to pupils from Junior Infants to 4th Class. The experiments included identifying blind spots, making lava lamps, erupting volcanoes and launching rockets towards the roof!

A big thank you to Ms Maloney for coordinating such an enjoyable week, full of exciting experiments and hands-on learning.

Drama Comes Alive: Captain George McNamara Visits!

There were plenty of laughs today when two people arrived in the classrooms of 3rd to 6th Class, claiming to be janitors who needed to clean the rooms. After a few minutes, it became clear that they weren’t janitors at all, but actors from the Branar Theatre Company, who bring drama to life in schools with lots of humour and fun. One of the actors told the story of Captain George McNamara, a bandit from the Cong, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The performance was highly entertaining, with the actor using a variety of props from his cleaning cart. Overall, it was great fun and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
