We joined together again today to participate in science week activities. The children experimented with cocktail sticks and marshmallows to explore trusses. We joined a webinar in which we “met the scientist” who is an expert on venomous snakes. Finally, the children worked in pairs to design, build and test their home-made catapults. 

Fifth and sixth class children from Ardkeeran N.S. and Taunagh N.S. enjoyed working together to make Saint Brigid's Day crosses. They also played a chess mini-game called "Pawn Wars".

First and second class from both schools enjoyed exploring Lego. The three-person LEGO building activity included an engineer, a supplier and builder. The children took turns in each role. 

As part of our Shared Education programme, we took part in an animation workshop with Taunagh NS. The children had great fun creating their own mini stop‑motion movies using monsters, props and plenty of imagination. It was a brilliant creative experience and everyone thoroughly enjoyed bringing their characters to life.

As part of Friendship Week we held joint assembly. The winners of the poetry competition were announced and prize were given. We sang “Count On Me” by Bruno Mars for everyone.

This week,  the children from both schools had fun coding with Emma.
