Discover Primary Science and Maths Award 2022

Discover Primary Science & Maths Award

​ 2022

We are proud to have been awarded our third Discover Primary Science and

Maths Plaque of STEM. 
​
​

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The

programme is run by Science Foundation Ireland and the European Space

Agency. It aims to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and

mathematics (STEM) among students, teachers and members of the public.



The following is the feedback from Science Foundation Ireland on our

logbook of evidence:


Congratulations to Bishop O'Brien NS ! You have been successful in your

application for the SFI PLAQUE of STEM.

Well done on a really wonderful submission. Every step has been clearly

presented,  the format was easy to navigate so it has been a pleasure to

assess. It is obvious that there is passion and enthusiasm for STEM in the

school and full credit is due to the teachers who taught and documented

all the scientific learning in the school. There are so many highlights in

the submission but I thought the Living Things Strand was incredible

showing learners engaged in investigating eyes, teeth and digestion.....futures

in medicine! It was lovely to see the learners recording temperature in the

Energy & Forces Strand as recording is a valuable scientific skill. As you

pointed out in the submission the visit of the engineer to the classes

allowed the learners to understand the skills and dispositions needed to

become an engineer. You so rightly deserve the award. Maybe next time

consider applying for the BADGE. It is a higher level of award where the

whole school community including pupils, teachers and parents are

involved in raising STEM awareness in the school. You would be well up for

this challenge. Enjoy your success and keep up the good work.



A huge thank you to everyone for supporting the work of the DPSM

Programme.

Bride Rovers G.A.A. Art Competition

​


Bride Rovers G.A.A recently ran an art competition in the

school from 3rd class up to 6th class. The theme was Irish

culture.

We had lots of happy children receiving their prizes. Well

done to everyone who participated. We are sure the judges

had a very hard job!


We would like to thank Bride Rovers and especially

John Arnold and Mossie O' Sullivan who took the time to

visit us and present the children with their prizes.

ar scoil. Ghlac na 
páistí páirt sa Céilí Mór freisin.


Rinne na páistí rince difriúla ar nós An Dreoilín, Cuir Bróg ar an

​Asal

Engineering Week 2022

  • Engineering Week 2022


Philip Hazelwood, husband of our fabulous S.N.A., Ms. leigh, visited the school

during Engineering week to speak to all classes about his work as a civil engineer.

The aim of Engineering Week is to promote engineering to children in Ireland and

spark their interest and curiosity about it as a career. Philip delivered an inspiring

presentation to all classes from Junior Infants to 6th class. He told us about some

of the interesting projects he has been involved in,  including the Thames Tideway

Tunnel and the Naas to Newbridge upgrade scheme. The children could see how

engineering projects make a difference to the quality of peoples' everyday lives. 


The children got an understanding of the skills and dispositions needed to become

an engineer with an emphasis on problem solving, thinking outside the box and

being able to learn from one's mistakes. The children had lots of questions for

Philip and he patiently answered each and every one. 
 

It was a fabulous learning experiences for the children.

Halloween Art Competition 
​

The Parents' Association ran a very successful Halloween

Drawing competition just before the mid-term break. It was

wonderful to see how excited the children were about the

competition and we were amazed at the creativity and talent

in each class. The children truly put their hearts into their

entries and it really was a very difficult job to choose

winners from each class. The winners from each class are

pictured below. The lucky children from Junior and Senior

Infants received a beautiful Crayola set and the winners from

3rd to 6th received book tokens. Well done to all and a huge

thank you to the Parents' Association for running this

competition.
