Friday STEM
May 31, 2023
Our Friday challenge was to design and build a vehicle that would float. We had great fun testing our vehicles. The boys really impressed us with their engineering skills and their ability to problem solve. They discovered that weight distribution and surface area could have an impact on whether their vehicles survived our testing! We definitely have some future scientists in Room 1.

We were delighted to welcome our GAA coach Mark back this week. The boys had a fantastic time training outside while the sun shone.
Fighting Words
May 2, 2023
The boys in Room 1 had a fantastic visit to Fighting Words today. They had great fun taking the bus and their teachers were incredibly proud of how they represented our school while they were out and about. After a short walk, they arrived at Fighting Words and worked together to create the beginning of an original story. Then, they worked individually to write amazing endings for the tale. The boys got to bring home a copy of their book and each book has extra pages to allow them to finish the story themselves. The work they created can be viewed at:
