Something Fishy Programme for the Senior room!

Dear Parent/Guardian,

 Our senior room pupils will be taking part in the ‘Something Fishy’ Educational Programme aimed at Primary school pupils aged between 10-13 years, which informs and educates students on fish, water, angling, and the environment and angling.

 Lessons will begin with Ms Greene from next week w/c 27th February and we will have a visit to the school from the programme co-ordinator on 9th March.

After Easter there will be a class trip to Avonmore River planned but details for this will be released to parents nearer the time.

 We are really looking forward to taking part in this interesting programme and it will be something new and exciting for the pupils to take part in.

Something Fishy Programme

This year the Senior Class are taking part in the Something Fishy Programme organised by Blackrock Education Centre and the Central Fisheries Board (CFB). Something Fishy is an Educational Programme, aimed at Primary school pupils aged between 10-13 years, which informs and educates students on fish, water, angling, and the environment and angling. The lessons are based on the theme of the ‘Life cycle of salmon’ - Bradán. See below for samples of some of the experiments and activities we have been doing so far based around the water cycle, water conservation, classifying vertebrate and camouflage.
