Science Week Ireland runs this week and we have some exciting events running in the school to celebrate it. Pupils in Senior Infants, 2nd class, 4th class and 6 class will participate in Learn it Lego workshops. Lots of girls from 4th, 5th and 6th classes will present Science projects in the school hall as part of the Intel Mini Scientist competition. Ms. Hayes 3rd class travelled to a WEEE workshop on 'Waste' last week. Well done to all the pupils from Ms.Concannon's 4th class who have been selected to participate in the Primary Science Awards in the RDS in January 2018.

The pupils in Ms.Hayes 3rd class  travelled to the Rediscovery Centre to participate in a Waste workshop, organised by WEEE Ireland. The girls investigated what waste is, how much we produce and how waste is managed. The workshop examined the issue of electronic waste and communicated best practice. Students were encouraged to explore ideas on waste reduction, reuse and recycling, through discussion and interactive activities. The workshop featured a range of hands-on activities promoting reusing and recycling waste materials.

Our choir had a very busy day today recording their Christmas Album. The girls sang many of our Christmas favourites! A big thank you to the teachers involved, Rodney and Kevin who helped out with the recording.

Well done to Fiona Rose, Arianna and Jules whose drawings were chosen to create the CD cover. We cannot wait to see and hear the finished product!

The Christmas CD will be available to purchase in the school from December 18th. It can also be purchased before and after the Christmas Carol Service which takes place in St. Brigid's Church, Killester on Tuesday 19th December at 7pm. Funds raised from the Christmas album will go towards school improvements.

The girls on our Green Team had a busy morning on Tuesday November 7th as they helped plant 50 small trees in our school garden! A group of volunteers from Experian, a local community who kindly donated the trees, visited the school and worked with the committee members to plant the trees. Noel, our caretaker, was also there to lend a helping hand. Everyone did a great job and we look forward to seeing the trees grow over the years to come.
