Friday at the Café

We finished our Aistear theme "The Café" with a visit to Auntie Liz's Café where we got busy in the kitchen. First we made jelly by following instructions and we put it in the fridge to set. Then we made some funny face biscuits like Ella and Evan. We used lots of sweets for the eyes, nose and ears. The best part was when we got to eat the jelly and the biscuits. They were really yummy!!

Aistear - The Café

Despite the restrictions, it was business as usual in the Aistear Café, where our young chefs and waiting staff have been kept busy with a constant stream of hungry customers. There were lots of tasty offerings on the menu to suit every taste. The washing up staff wasted no time in keeping the plates and cutlery spick and span. At the play dough station we made our own playdough and turned this into some lovely cookies. We made furniture for the café at the construction area. It's been a busy week!

We are delighted to be able to continue to develop our Gaelic skills at this time. Ulster GAA Regional Development Officer Emmet Conlon will attend the school each Tuesday until Christmas to caoch the children in hurling. The helmets may be gone and the hurleys are different but we're still enjoying getting outside in the fresh air and having fun.

​​Build a Geodesic Dome

The Senior Room enjoyed two MakerMeet STEAM Workshops which were live streamed into thir classroom. Chris from MakerMeet worked with the teacher to assist the children to build a paper circuit and a Geodesic dome. The children really enjoyed the opportunity to experiment and learn. Thanks to Cavan Monaghan Science Festival 2020 and Johnston County Library for providing us with this wonderful opportunity. ​

Make a Paper Circuit

Paper Tower Challenge

​There were great feats of engineering taking place in First, Second and Third Class when Chris from MakerMeet worked with the teacher and children to build a paper tower which would hold 100g of rice. The workshop explored friction, weight distribution, balance, equilibrium, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and fundamental concepts of engineering.

Dancing Raisins


Science Week in the Junior Room
We linked Science Week to our Aistear Theme "The Café". We made our own play dough and then used it to make cookies for the hungry customers. We also did a Magic Milk experiment. It was so cool to watch the colours mixing!

​AgriKids Be Farm Safe

On Tuesday the Junior Room enjoyed a Zoom call from Alma Jordan the founder of AgriKids. Alma read one of her stories and pointed out many of the dangers on the farm to the children. We learned that we should never visit a farm without an adult and that animals and farm machinery can be dangerous. ​

​Junior Einstein's Science Club

​We learned how scientists solve crimes with the Junior Einsteins Science Club. We set up a crime scene and played a scientist detective to find out who the culprit was! Using fingerprinting, black lights, tooth marks, moulding and shoe rubbings we had great fun in this exciting and informative session.
