We walked to the Phoenix Park today to see if we could find signs of spring in our locality. The boys did an amazing job of using their ‘Science Eyes’ and found evidence of spring all around us!

As part of our learning about seasonal change, we have been talking about the Water Cycle. We learned a song to help us remember the words evaporation, condensation and precipitation. Today, we made rain gauges from bottles. We used to stones as weights to help them stay upright. We will use them to help us collect, measure and record data about rainfall.

The boys made us very proud at our school ceolchoirm. They sang ‘Beidh Aonach Amárach’ and said the poem ‘Tá an Bháisteach ag Titim.’ Maith sibh a bhuachaillí!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Our theme for World Book Day was bedtime stories. All the boys made a huge effort to come to school in their PJs. We concentrated on Irish Legend stories and enjoyed hearing about all the warriors and druids.

We learned all about the Irish artist Eoin O Connor. We produced stunning pictures inspired by his works.

Today we began a spring themed Science investigation. We think that seeds need water to grow. We planted seeds, but we will not water all of them. We will observe if this has an impact on how they grow. We are excited to see if our predictions are correct!

We are learning all about spring. We learned about the different parts of flowers.

This week in SPHE, we have been talking about the things that make us great! The boys chose statements that best represented who they are and read them out for our class. We are very lucky teachers to work with such an amazing group of boys.

We put an amazing amount of effort into our work on Christoher Columbus.
