We took part in the 25 minute tower challenge ! We got into groups and were given 20 minutes to design and build the tallest tower we could using only 20 pieces of spaghetti and insulation tape. Each tower had to have a marshmallow on top in order to be complete !
Our staff devised Maths trails around the school grounds for every class level! We love to go on a maths trail on a sunny day !
As part of our Seachtain na Gaeilge we made shops in our older classes selling sweets and treats. Our younger classes visited the shops and were given money to buy the sweets with both shop keeper and customer using their mathematical learning in a real-world setting !
Our 5th and 6th classes took part in the Intel Mini-Scientist award again this year. They devised amazing science projects which they showcased in our school hall. Each class in the school had a chance to tour the projects and talk to the mini scientists about their work and see their amazing experiments and discoveries in action !
We hope you enjoyed looking at the photos as much as we enjoyed participating in all of the STEM activities !!
We’ve been constructing electrical circuits to power bulbs, buzzers and fans! Older classes have added switches to their circuits and investigated ways to make the bulbs shine brighter!
