We are participating in the Mayo Science challenge to celebrate Science week. The challenge is to design a bridge using 25 straws and 3 foot of masking tape. No other materials are allowed. It was certainly a challenging task but it was fun. Maybe we have some budding young engineers in our midst!

Check out the scary witches, vampires, ghosts and zombies from 5th and 6th class! Have a look at some of our halloween decorations also which we made using a simple salt dough recipe.

We enjoyed working together on some fun maths activities to celebrate Maths Week. We worked on some puzzles and problems and we used the tablets to work on some online maths activities.

Second and Third class completed a range of activities for Maths Week this year. They completed a number of challenging puzzles. They also completed a maths trail outside on the school grounds. Thank you to some of the children in third class for designing the maths trail.
