Maths Week
Maths week was organised in the school and all classes took part in many events during the week. A big thank you Ms O’ Connell for putting so much time and effort into maths week.
From maths trails, jumping jacks and a guess how many sweets in the jar competition, the school had a great week enjoying all the events planned out.

Science week
4th and 5th class had a lot of activities during science week.
They were astounded by the nutty scientist and his experiments.
They were challenged to make the longest paper chain out a single sheet of paper with the winner measuring over 9 meters.
Groups worked together for the egg drop challenge, could they design something that could protect an egg that was dropped from 2m.
They also showed the effects of thermal expansion and water pressure in class.

We had out annual cinema trip where we watched 'Wish'
To finish out the year with a bang the school put on a Christmas concert with a wide array of songs from carols to more modern classics.
January
January was a short but action filled month. 4th and 5th class participated in a chess competition in Castlemagner.
We also tried to replicate the work of Michelangelo by trying to draw on the ceiling! (Or under the desks in our case)
