Back to School

We came back to school in late August after a long summer holiday. We have been very busy settling in. There are 26 children in Senior Infants and First Class. Our Aistear theme for September was Home. We learned a lot about Homes during the month. It is fun being back in school.

Science Exhibition

Can and egg float?
Senior Infants and First Class had great fun at the  Science Exhibition in the hall on Tuesday. The class was divided into five groups. Each group dressed up as scientists and took turns going into the hall to show parents and the children from other classes how the  experiment worked. 

The children learned that an egg doesn't float in ordinary water but when salt is added it floats. The children made links to similarities between the egg floating and what happens when people visit the Dead Sea.!!!!
