Discover Primary Science and Maths Award 2022

27/4/2022

 
Presentation Primary school children have been doing wonderful work in science this year. Check out their experiments and investigations in science, technology, engineering and maths. 

We have been participating in the Discover Primary Science and Maths award with the Science Foundation of Ireland for over 10 years. Thank you to all involved over the years. The photos showcase all the lovely science going on in our school. When you are in our school keep an eye out for our award plaques on the wall outside the office. 

Enjoy chatting with your families at home about your science work. Here is a link of science videos for you to watch at home from the STEM series (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) on the SFI Science Foundation of Ireland website: https://www.sfi.ie/engagement/discover-primary-science-and-maths/resources/dpsm-stem-series/index.xml

Discover Primary Science and Maths 2021

26/6/2021

 
The Presentation Primary School children have enjoyed lots of science this year in school and at home. Here is a presentation of our science work and we hope to achieve a SFI (Science Foundation of Ireland) Discover Primary Science and Maths Award for our school. If you would like to do some experiments check out the 'STEM at Home' (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) link here www.sfi.ie/engagement/discover-primary-science-and-maths/resources/stem-at-home/

Discover Primary Science

23/9/2020

 
Pupils and staff were working towards our 'Discover Primary Science' award when the school closed on 12th March. Thanks to 'Google Classroom', we managed to continue our teaching and learning at home. We kept up all our subjects as well as we could, and we are delighted to say we covered all the steps for the Plaque of Excellence in Science. Here is a compilation of our science work during 2019/2020, the year we spent half in school and half being homeschooled. It was a different year but we still learned lots of science.

May is Our Lady's Month

17/5/2020

 
In Ireland, we have a tradition of celebrating our love and respect for Our Lady during the month of May. Thank you to Fiona in Rang 6 for sending us this picture of her May Altar and to Berna and Mollie for setting up our altars during Catholic Schools Week back in January/February. Just like Fiona, you might like to make your own May altar at home.

Preparing for Easter

9/4/2020

 
We are nearing the end of Lent now, girls and boys. This week we prepare for Easter Sunday by thinking about everything that happened Jesus between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. You might like to look at this picture of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. You might even like to draw your own picture.

Online Learning

30/3/2020

 

    Our new online classroom site was launched today. It is an exciting new venture for us all. Parents/guardians received details by text. We look forward to working with our pupils and families in this new way. It is lovely to be able to keep in touch and communicate with each other. We are all learning new things every day. Happy learning all!

     Talking about learning... you all know that we have been asked to stop the spread of Covid-19 by keeping a good distance away from other people. The minimum distance away is 2m. We are also asked not to meet too many people in a week. Until Easter Sunday we are asked to stay in our homes (except for exercise) and not to meet friends, neighbours, cousins etc. Children are asked not to go out to play with friends and not to have friends call to the house. Keeping apart certainly is difficult but we all need to do this to keep ourselves and other people safe. Adults in the home can help children understand the new situation and children can help the adults! Together we can protect ourselves and others. Together we can make a difference. Keep social distance everyone!

Looking forward to playing games and having fun in our yard in the future.

Spending school time at home??

13/3/2020

 
On 12th March, our Government decided that all schools must close for the coming two weeks. This will help people to stay away from crowded places so that the new bug, Covid-19, will not spread so easily. Pupils in our school had mixed reactions to the news. Some children were delighted with the idea of time off school. Others were disappointed to miss our Seachtain na Gaeilge celebrations and to be away from their classmates and friends. Parents may be concerned about the interruption to their child's education. In the short term, we can all enjoy the weekend and St. Patrick's Day.
Teachers sent work home with pupils and this will be helpful for next week. We will keep families up to date with suggestions for furthering education at home. Our first suggestion is read, read, read. We think you will enjoy that!

Grandparents' Day

2/2/2020

 

We were delighted to welcome so many grandparents to our classes during Catholic Schools' Week. Thank you to all who came, all who prepared the event, and to the pupils who played, recited, chatted and sang. We hope all the grandparents enjoyed the entertainment, the Prayer Service and the refreshments!
