Mr O'Dwyer's
Mr. O’Dwyer’s fifth and sixth class were wonderful during Maths Week. They brought the Junior and Senior Infants on a maths trail around our beautiful yard. The children had great fun finding lots of shapes in the environment and also some extra ones which had been placed there secretly. Check out the gallery for more photos and also the STEM section of our website.

Incredible Edibles
Our vegetables are coming along nicely and we have planted out our lettuces into grow bags. Our potatoes are shooting up very fast and they are planted in our vegetable plot. When our carrots and parsley get a little hardier we will plant these out too.
What an incredible day we had on 29th May 2015 when we headed off to `Bloom’ in the Phoenix Park. It was an amazing day and we absolutely loved all the show gardens. Agri Aware gave us lots of talks on mushrooms, potatoes, herbs, cattle and sheep . Check out the Gallery for more pictures.

SCIENCE
During March 2015, we enjoyed learning about Morse Code and we tapped out messages on our electric telegraph. We then worked in groups to make some working lighthouses. We even made some switches using our knowledge of electrical circuits and conductors of electricity.
