St Canice's Cathedral

As part of our history programme, 5th and 6th Class visited St Canice's Cathedral on 17th May to explore the history of Kilkenny for themselves.

Energy Flag!

On 26th May next 3 representatives from our Green Schools Committee will be heading into Hotel Kilkenny to collect our hard earned 2nd Green Flag!  Well done to all involved!

AOSME

Congratulations to 5th Class on the great news that we have been awarded an Award of Science and Maths Excellence for all their great work in 2010/2011!

From Caterpillar to Butterfly!

 

Rory minded our caterpillar cocoons over the Easter holidays.  He did a great job and 3 painted lady butterflies emerged!

Art Attack!

Check out some of the art created by 5th Class recently, and their projects based on the revolutions in France, America and Ireland in 1798.

Butterfly Bonanza!

A mysterious box arrived in the post this week...

We were delighted to discover our newest members of class had arrived safe and sound, 5 caterpillars destined to become painted lady butterflies!

Frog Frenzy!

Rachel brought in some frogspawn for us to observe.  We got a special license to keep and observe the frogspawn. Lucy and Aisling made a suitable habitat for the frogspawn. The Junior Infants were very interested in our frogspawn.  The spawn has now developed into tadpoles!

Cream Crackers!

We explored the need for saliva to aid in eating and digestion in 5th Class!

Tremendous Teeth!

5th Class explored the effect of plaque on their teeth, with some interesting results!

Viking Projects!

5th Class completed projects on the Vikings this week.  Check them out!

Dunmore Caves

We have been learning about the Vikings in 5th Class.  We were lucky enough to visit the Dunmore Caves, where Viking coins and artefacts have been found.  We learned about the history of the caves and how they were formed.  It was a fantastic trip!
