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!
Students from 5th (Ms. Biesty) & 6th class (Ms. Walsh) enjoyed a great Science Show from Scientific Sue in Tallaght I.T. as part of Science Week. Some brave pupils even volunteered to help Sue out with some of her experiments which included colour changes, super foams, disgusting slime & a fire breathing dragon!
Congratulations to all the recipients of the awards this year.
Well done to everyone who took part in our science expo this year. It was a fantastic success. Thanks to all the parents who came to see our experiments.
Enjoy the photos from the day.
Congratulations to everyone involved with Discover Primary Science this year. The classes of Ms. Scully, Ms. Walsh, Ms. M. Murphy, Ms. S. Murphy and Ms. O’Reilly all took part. There was more work than ever this year as we had to include evidence of our mathematical skills as well as all the usual science requirements. Every child who participated gets a certificate to mark their achievement of demonstrating excellence in science and math. Well done to everyone involved and thanks for all the hard work.
Today is the start of spring. Anyone taking part in Discovery Primary Science might like to check out GREENWAVE. Details about looking out for the first signs of spring are available on their website. Click here for more information.
Ms. O’Reilly, Ms. Walsh, Ms. S. Murphy and Ms. M. Murphy took part in the Discover Primary Science programme this year. We held a science fair which included 20 experiments and we had a work shop on energy, headed up by Sustainable Energy Ireland, which each class got the opportunity to attend. The school was awarded a Science Excellence award for our participation.
