Maple Class have had a fantastic fun-filled first

Maple Class have had a fantastic fun-filled first term, packed with lots of activities, outings and crafts. From walks to the playground and Lidl in Tyrellstown, to lots of hard work on topical lessons and autumnal themes, everyone has a great few months of our first term. We are all looking forward to our mid-term break and seeing each other again November!

Once again we are hosting our Science Fair as part

Once again we are hosting our Science Fair as part of our Science Week. This year's event takes place in the PE Hall on Friday 15th of November, from 10:30-11:50am. As before, this is a parent-child led project and is completed at home. MId-term break is the ideal time to work on these projects so hopefully some of you will find some scientific inspiration over the break! After the mid-term, we will send on details and an application form for the fair, but we just wanted to give you advanced notice about the upcoming event. Here is a handy website with lots of ideas, if anyone would like to be inspired: https://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/ Enjoy experimenting!

This week Powerstown the Rowan class students had a very busy and exciting week! For Maths Week, we explored Morse code, solved codebreaking challenges, created tessellating patterns, and enjoyed maths games outdoors. We practiced our Spanish with María, learning how to greet people, how to ask where someone is from, and how to reply! Anita from Barnardos visited, and we continued our story of Stone Soup, discussing the importance of teamwork and empathy.

We've laid cardboard down underneath mulch to kill off any weeds and get the soil ready. Later this year we will be planting new trees in this area.
