School Sports Day 2016

Each year in Scoil San Eoin we have a Sports Day. All the pupils are divided into teams of mixed classes and the theme is that each pupil does their best, encourages their teammates and has fun!!! Each pupil gets a medal for participation and we also like to present the graduating 6th class with a little going away gift. We also, present an Attendance Certificate to the pupil in each class  who has the highest attendance since September and for Sixth Class we present a beautiful  plague to the pupil that has the most days present in Scoil San Eoin from Junior Infants to Sixth class.  Huge thanks to the Parents Association and all the parents who help out on the day, whether its making the delicious treats, manning stations, gathering and setting up equipment or purchasing medals and gifts. Huge thanks also to Claire for taking these fabulous pictures!

Rainbow Spinners - Science Week

The theme for Science week this year is LIGHT.  We have learned that 'white light' is made up of the seven colours of the rainbow and this was discovered by Isaac Newton. We can see examples of this in glass prisms, puddles, rainbows and reflection of shiny surfaces such as CDs. We made our own rainbow spinners and spun them as fast as we could so they would become white. Here's how we did!
