Friendship Week 2018
From the 24th to the 28th of September this year a special week,

'Friendship Week' was celebrated in our school. 


Lessons were delivered in each class on the theme of

friendship. 
​

Again a special emphasis was placed on being an 'Upstander' .

The term used in the school to encourage children to speak up if

​they become aware of someone being left our or being treated

unfairly, 
​

Throughout the week a variety of friendship themed activities

took place in all classrooms including circle time, art activities,

​paired reading between Junior and Senior classes, writing

of friendship poems and the creation of our whole school

friendship tree.

Mobile Science Workshops
A great day was had last Friday,  the 14th of December, when

the Lismore Mobile Science workshops visited our school . 
​
In Junior and Senior Infants, the children completed a range of

​fun science experiments, most of which were based on the

​chemical reactions that take place between acids and bases.

Using the dye from red cabbage the children determined which

liquids were acids and which were bases. Then using vinegar as

​their acid and baking soda as their base they inflated a plastic

​glove and erupted a volcano. They also had experience with

static electricity using it to raise their hair and make coco pops

​jump. It was a very engaging workshop which was enjoyed by

​all.
In 1st and 2nd class, the children learned about the digestive

system . They found out about what happens to the food we eat

in our bodies. 

The class had great fun making 'poo' as they explored, in a

​hands on activity how coco pops are broken down in the body.

The end result was lots of mess and laughter as they were left

​ with 'poo'. 


​3rd to 6th Class experienced some hair raising fun with static

electricity, an interaction with a magic plasma ball and

​experience with building circuits. The children investigated how

 how simple circuits, series circuits and parallel circuits worked.
 

 Thank you once again to our wonderful Parents' Association for

 funding the workshops. A fantastic day was had by all.
