This month Junior and Senior Infants are learning about the Café in Aistear. During Science Week they discovered that some solids melt when they are heated. They enjoyed putting this theory to the test as they melted  jelly and made yummy Rice Krispie buns. The pupils really enjoyed serving the treats they had made in the Café to the other classes. Check out the pictures below!

World Kindness Day is a holiday that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day is to help everyone understand that kindness is what binds us all together. As part of our Amber Flag the students in Greaghrahan National School celebrated this day by taking part in a range of activities that promote kindness. The students in the Junior and Middle room complemented their Art work with the motto 'Be the I in KIND' The Senior Room students looked at what kindness means and the way that you can show kindness to others. ​

​Massive congratulations to the children from 3rd to 6th class who prepared a range of experiments and set them up in the hall for our Science Fair on Friday. The students had great fun dressing up as Wacky Scientists and all classes were invited to the hall throughout the day to view the displays and to conduct some experiments of their own. The exhibitors did a wonderful job of explaining and demonstrating their experiments which included:
  • How much salt does it take to make an egg float?
  • How to create a hovercraft?
  • Lungs and how we breathe
  • How to create a vortex?
  • Dancing raisins
  • Soak it up baby (Which nappy can hold the most water?)
  • STEAM – Micro: bits
We welcomed all parents in the afternoon and it was a wonderful turnout. Thank you for coming to support the children. There was a great buzz around the school.
Well done to all the children involved!

                            Wow what a fun day the 3rd to 6th children had on their class trip to W5!

On Wednesday 16th November the 3rd to 6th class pupils travelled to W5 Odyssey Arena, Belfast as part of Science Week and the Peace IV STEAM initiative with Newtowngore NS.

The students took part in the Fizz, Bang, Pop Science workshop where they visited the Science Lab to carry out a host of experiments. They investigated changes that are permanent or temporary, desirable or undesirable and discovered the effects of liquid Nitrogen. The students explored the exhibitions on each floor which involved a range of engaging Science activities. They enjoyed 'Climbit' a multi sensory climbing experience and the 'Lost Planet' a Multisensory Activity Zone. 

It was a great day that was enjoyed by all.

Florencourt Trip

1/11/2022

0 Comments

 
The Junior and Middle rooms travelled to Florencecourt to experience what life was like in the kitchen and garden of the house at harvest time. There we met the pupils from our partner school on the CASE Peace IV programme, Newtowngore N.S. The day began with a very enjoyable Hallowe'en craft activity. Then we visited the kitchen of the house where we learned about all the work that went on there in the olden days. We got to work scrubbing the vegetables for the dinner. Then it was off to the orchard and magnificant Walled Garden to see all the apple trees and work out the clues in the treasure hunt.  A visit to the beautiful Rose Cottage which was once the home of the Head Gardener on the estate came next.  Finally we had to carry some heavy baskets of fruit and vegetables back to the house. It was hard work but we had a really fun time. Thanks to all the staff at Florencecourt for making our visit so special.
