Check out the pictures of the “Bird is the Word” project, which was completed by students of 5th (Ms. Biesty) and 6th (Ms. Walsh) class, and was displayed at the RDS Primary Science Fair earlier this month.
For three weeks students monitored and recorded bird activity in the school garden three times daily. Initially there was no food provided for the birds and then we added peanuts during week 2 and seeds during week 3. We attracted a large variety of birds to the garden including greenfinches, chaffinches, goldfinches, magpies, blue tits and sparrows. The most common visitor to our garden was the chaffinch and during the 3rd week we logged over 200 birds!
We displayed our project as part of the RDS Primary Science Fair and you can now see it displayed in the halla!
On Monday 12th December the School Choir performed at the Hallelujah Concert in the RDS. We sang with over 1000 school children from all over Ireland, conducted by Gearóid Grant. We also were backing singers for Irish group The High Kings, young singer Connie Talbot and singer Randolph Matthews. The choir sung their hearts out and danced the night away, a great night was had by all. We have not packed our Santa hats away yet! We hope to perform a few of the songs at the School Christmas Concert on Wednesday 21st. Looking forward to seeing you there. Many thanks to Ms Walsh and Ms Biesty for their help and support. Well done to all the choir members involved.
There is a short clip below of some of the children singing at the concert……..the quality is not great but you can feel the excitement!
